The terrain of Los Tuxtlas looks like a crumpled sheet of paper. As a consequence,
the rivers have had to accommodate with hundreds of waterfalls and rapids
crisscrossing the entire Sierra. Tiny 3 foot rapids to roaring 200 foot drops are within
easy reach of anywhere in the area.
Various words describe a waterfall in Spanish. Big ones are usually saltos, smaller
ones are cascadas and pozas actually means springs but the word is often used to
denote the swimming holes formed by a small cascades.
The Salto de Eyipantla was recently featured in the film Apocalypto and other locales
like Poza Reyna have been used in many Mexican film productions.
Los Tuxtlas has a distinct rainy season, and although most falls run water all year,
the most impressive views are from July to December.
