Cascada de Texolo, Waterfall in Xico, Veracruz, Mexico
The Cascada de Texolo descends 80 feet through dense woodlands, creating a powerful water display surrounded by tropical vegetation and epiphytes.
The Mexican government designated Cascada de Texolo as a protected Ramsar Wetland site in February 2006 to preserve its ecological importance.
The waterfall gained international recognition when it appeared in the 1984 film Romancing the Stone, standing in for a Colombian location.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by taking a bus from Xalapa to Xico, followed by a short taxi ride to the entrance parking area.
A suspended bridge crosses the gorge, enabling access to various footpaths that lead to different viewing platforms and the base of the falls.
