Go with Expediciones huaXteca (Arturo is the best!) for the waterfall jumping and ziplines. A total blast, reasonably safe (the bike zipline and bridge are not for the faint-hearted; would never be allowed in the States). Don't, however, take the tour for Tamul Waterfall. We didn't do it, but from what I was told by other travellers you are in the boat for 2 hours and in the end you are still pretty far from the waterfall. Instead take a tour or drive to Campamento Tamul above the falls. You'll have to get a guide provided by the village, so you don't need a separate guide to get you to the campamento. The last 20 minutes are on a very bad road, so you couldn't do it in a rental car. Then it's a beautiful walk along the river to the falls. From there, there's a path down to the river and you're far closer to the falls than the people in the boats and you have a much better view. Go early in the day to avoid the crowds/heat. The path to the river goes down some steep ladders.

The canoe ride to the waterfall took us about 30 minutes. The view was amazing! Butterflies were everywhere! You pass several small waterfalls along the way. There is a place to stop that sells food and drink. Prices were very reasonable, I think bottled water was less than 15 pasos (no price gouging).

At God’s Bridge, the water is super blue. The current from the waterfall is strong so they have installed thick floating ropes to help you ‘navigate’ if you are not strong enough to swim against the current. Beautiful waterfalls surround you on three sides. You can jump, climb, be immersed in the water or get pounded by the waterfalls. But the real surprise is a small opening in one of the rocks. Once you go through that opening (which most guides keep for last for obvious reason), you enter a cave like tunnel to get you to the ‘other side’. The color is breathtakingly blue, and its light seems to come from below (on a sunny day). It is both beautiful and magical. Some people don’t realize how strenuous all this jumping, climbing, and cavorting can be. While I was there, a woman had a heart attack and died. All guides jumped in to help her to no avail. A reminder to pace yourself. This is an AMAZING place that fills up quick, so it is best seen in early morning and not on weekends or holidays.

Here's another great spot to take a seat, plan your day, people watch, take in the history, the trees are lovely. Enjoy your time in this great city that is fairly unknown to USA tourists. Maybe that's why I love it.

They are not always open so be sure you get a right day and time. It's in the center of city so it's no loss if you have to return or wait. It's a wonderful museum. I love seeing the different masks of Mexico.Staff was friendly and the museum shop was great with many locally made crafts.
