Cascades de Misol Ha, Mexico

May 20, 2014

Misol-Ha (meaning "waterfall or tense") is a waterfall is located in the Ejido San Miguel, Municipality of Salto de Agua. The waterfall is about 30 metres high, and is a typical example of the high tropical jungle of the Chiapas highlands. If it looks familiar, then you've probably (like me) seen it previously. Hint: Remember the movie Predator? This is the waterfall Arnie (or actually his stunt double) fall down. The movie was made in the jungle in this area. The sound is thundering, an astounding force of nature. Looking up, from under the waterfall ... Swimming in and under the waterfall is refreshing, and incredibly invigorating. The falling force of the water is quite high, very intense. The below pic may give some perspective of the size of the waterfall, as I'm in the lower cave area, which looks small in the full view (first picture above).
