Maquina Vieja
(old machine)
North of San Andrés Tuxtla near the
community of El Cebollar, along a dirt road
and a short walk is a set of overgrown ruins
reminiscent of Palenque of an old cotton
factory from the late 1800's. Nearby is an
inviting waterfall and swimming hole formed
by the Rio Tejalete.

Although most tourist guides and the city tourism department hype this place, it is one of those "You can´t get there from
here" places and many locals don´t even know it exists.   Photos are courtesy of
