If you’re looking for a unique getaway near Mexico City, there’s an experience that combines nature, adventure, and spectacular scenery. It’s the illuminated Quetzalapan Waterfall, located in Las Brisas Park in the “Pueblo Mágico” (Magical Town ) of Zacatlán de las Manzanas, Puebla.
At night, this site offers a special tour in which visitors walk along illuminated trails until they reach the impressive waterfall. Along the way, the waterfall is illuminated with different shades of color that completely transform the landscape and create a unique atmosphere amid the vegetation of the Sierra Norte de Puebla.
A nighttime tour amid lights and nature
The Illuminated Tour takes place from Thursday through Sunday and allows you to discover one of the region’s most breathtaking natural settings from a completely different perspective. The journey is truly magical, as you’ll walk along illuminated trails that are 100% safe.
In addition to admiring the waterfall, the park invites visitors to prepare for an outdoor experience, so it is recommended to wear warm, waterproof clothing and comfortable, non-slip footwear, as some areas may be wet.
The new glass observation deck overlooking a 350-meter waterfall
One of the park’s major attractions is its renovated glass observation deck, which recently reopened to the public. This structure is suspended in front of a waterfall over 350 meters high, considered one of the most impressive in the country.
From this vantage point, you can admire the canyon, the vegetation, and the characteristic landscapes of the Sierra Norte de Puebla. It’s a must-see for anyone looking to take spectacular photos or simply enjoy a view that’s hard to forget.
In addition to the nighttime tour, Las Brisas Park offers activities such as hiking, archery, tree climbing, zip-lining, and areas for family gatherings.
