La Escondida Waterfall

Just minutes from the central plaza of Tlaxcalantongo lies one of Xicotepec, Puebla’s most beautiful natural treasures: the Cascada La Escondida, a waterfall that cascades more than 40 meters down into a tranquil pool surrounded by lush vegetation.
The sound of rushing water, the cool mist, and the emerald hues of the surrounding forest create a magical environment that invites peace and wonder. Easily accessible yet immersed in nature, it is one of the most popular eco-tourism spots in the region.
Visitors can hike along the trails leading to the waterfall, swim in the natural pools, or simply relax while enjoying the pure mountain air. The site is also a favorite among photographers and nature lovers, especially at dawn when the sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating the waterfall like a veil of silver.
La Escondida Waterfall embodies the natural beauty and serenity that define Xicotepec, a paradise where the power of water meets the tranquility of the forest.
