Thousand Waterfalls Taxco: Canyoning, swimming and hiking

Seven hours in a grotto and waterfall canyon, jumping and swimming your way through

A seven-hour activity in Taxco where you enter a nascent grotto, do canyoning and swimming, hike between waterfalls, and jump into pools in an ecotourism park. The guide is certified and speaks Spanish. Private transportation, life jacket, lamp and park access are included. Children from age 3 are welcome, though the activity is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health.

The experience

The day starts with private pickup and transport to an ecotourism park built around a grotto with chontal antiquity. Once there, you enter the canyon itself: the activity moves between canyoning, exploration, swimming and jumping, with hiking to connect the waterfalls that give the place its name. A certified guide leads the way in Spanish, and you wear a life jacket and carry a lamp as you move through the water and rock.

The physical demand is real (you'll be in the water, climbing, and jumping into pools for the full seven hours), so a moderate level of fitness matters. The park's layout means the waterfalls keep coming, one after another, which is why clients describe it as the most beautiful natural activity in Taxco and say it erases the stress they brought with them. The contact with wildlife and the sheer number of water features mean the day stays active and varied rather than repetitive.
