ZACATLAN AND WATERFALL SALTO DE QUETZALAPAN FROM CDMX

At 07:00 a.m., pick up at Hotel Barceló Reforma. We leave for the Sierra Norte de Puebla where we will visit the Quetzalapan waterfall, this waterfall is fed by the Quetzalapan River that comes from the Chignahuapan Lagoon. In 1930 a hydroelectric plant was founded here that served as a source of energy for the surrounding towns such as Chignahuapan, Zacatlán, and Aquixtla. You can still see the remains of the constructions that were on this site.

A curious fact is that to reach the fall of the waterfalls it is necessary to descend 365 stone steps and the inhabitants of the area comment that one was placed for each day of the year. Free time to enjoy this natural place and take pictures.

Later, we will visit the Magical Town of Zacatlán, where we will visit the fruit wine factory, they will explain the elaboration process and you will be able to taste them.
