I visited the Huasteca in July because it's the only time I could. I knew it was the rainy season. I knew the caves of Puente de Dios would be closed. I didn't know that EVERY waterfall in the entire area would be closed to any activities what-so-ever. If you are only interested in taking pictures, then July is the absolute BEST month to go. There was NO ONE here when I went (mid week, early am).
But if you're adventurous like me, better go January through early June in order to enjoy all the wonder and beauty that makes this place magical. Here are my thoughts on P de D (in July):
PROs:
- beautiful site for a short hike on a clear path with steps (I "hiked" the entire area in about 40 min)
-platforms for picture-taking
-paths well-marked throughout with signs
- 20 pesos entry (I'm sure boating and swimming inside the caves would cost more, but I don't know since I wasn't able to do any of that)
- If you head up the switchback path after the last pool, it takes you back out to the main road. Along the way, there's a shaded clearing and a stone bbq, though I did not see any tables or chairs. Bring your own. There's grass, but it's wet.
-There are Cabanas for rent at the entrance, but there's no view of anything there.
CONs:
- Closed for swimming in July -December, rainy season, due to high water levels and strong currents. This means no boating, swimming, or cave exploring. Basically, there's nothing to do here during rainy season.
- If you are the first of the day entering (as I always am), beware you will get a face full of cobwebs as you descend down the many stairs to the site - at least I did, since I was looking down, trying not to take a header down the uneven stairs.
- Wet steps, and wet and slimy rocks make proper tennis shoes or water shoes a must.
-Red flags signify strong currents and undertows. No swimming.
- Closest views from the rocks are roped off for a reason; these rocks are wet, covered in slippery moss, and there are no grab bars. The surrounding rocks are slippery and if you reach out for them, your hand will slide and you will fall. Also, the ground between the rocks is filled with deep mud. If you step here, you will sink. I sank so far I could not see my shoe. This is a sure way to tumble into the rapids. I advise against it, and I am usually one to disregard general safety restrictions.
Hope that helps! Enjoy the Huasteca!
* Transportation info:
Getting there from Tamasopo:
-This site is 2 miles outside of Tamosopo. There aren't any buses or combis that go there.
- It's a 50 peso taxi ride, non-negotiable, from the town square, or from the Vencedor bus station a few streets over.
- It's a 40 min brisk walk to the site from town, but the fork in the road is not marked (veer left), and walking wasn't recommended for safety reasons because the area is so remote (though I walked halfway back, then hitched a ride in the back of a worker's truck without a problem).
At the taxi drop off, walk across the railroad tracks and half a block further to the entrance. It's well-marked.
Getting there from San Luis Potosi:
- From the bus terminal in SLP, there are only one or two buses a day that make this trip, and they are not listed anywhere on-line. Best to check the schedule as soon as you arrive in SLP and buy your ticket one day in advance.
Getting there from Rio Verde:
-There is only ONE bus that's direct. I can't remember when it leaves but it's in the late afternoon.. Second class buses leave every two or three hours, but they take 30 min longer, stop more frequently, and drop you off at the edge of town. From there, you need to cross the street and catch a van or truck to ride 15 min into town for about 20 pesos.
Getting there from Ciudad Valles:
-There are hourly buses to SLP on Vencedor, many of which stop at Tamasopo.

Google maps will probably send you through a wrong turn in the last part of the route but it will be minimum. A good place to swim, when the current is not so hard, you go through ropes and arrive to a small cave that...Morethanks for your comment we aprecciate your visit, its very important for us to have good comments so we can have more opportunities to grow up... we hope you to come back soon, it would be a placer. have a nice day!!!

Fuimos atendidos por nuestro guía Humberto, quien se esmeró en que tuviéramos una serie de actividades acuáticas en varios de los sitios cercanos al municipio de Tamasopo que fueron toda una aventura. Me llevo la impresión de que es una empresa seria y el lugar ofrece muchas alternativas de diversión.
