Cascadas de Villa Luz

The state's rivers flow down from the hills in a majestic cascade of whitewater, which has its source in a cave known as the Cueva de las Sardinas Ciegas. Villa Luz is lovely spot with sulfur-rich springs and luxuriant tropical vegetation.

Dios Jaguar

The sacred animal and symbol of power and nobility, the jaguar was associated with the creation of the Olmec people. In the guise of jaguars, ancient rulers could cross over into the spirit world at will.
