Lets Be Adventurous!!!

  The next area we explored is known as Huasteca Potosina...AKA... waterfalls galore!!! Generally, when adventuring in this region, the best base is Ciudad Valles, which has lots of tour companies available, though we decided to be our own tour guide. Part 1 On the way in to the region, we stopped at the wonderful swimming spot Media Luna. Being fed by a pure fresh water spring, it gracefully branches out in coves and streams. The color and temperature of the water is dreamy and the location has suprisingly nice facilities and food options. There are so many swimming nooks, we wanted to try them all and had a relaxing yet invigorating time. With the 4 days in our little rental car, we decided on just three of almost countless recommended waterfall destinations. Tamul, Tamasopo and Casacada de Micos, are all quite unique and varying distances from Ciudad Valles. Our 1st adventure took us to Casacadas de Micos, where the main attraction is following the river down increasingly higher...

We love this town and lived walking distance from anywhere we wanted to go, views of the city, street food, museums. We loved that we seemed to be the only of of country traveler/tourists there. Everyone was so welcome and friendly. So much history in Queretaro too. A few times it was the capital of Mexico, its an UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the "cradles" of Mexican independence!  Next stop was San Miguel de Allende and I have some interesting perspective from when I lived there for two weeks in 2000 and now, 23 years later....woah!!! Such a beautiful city, but has it changed. The buildings look about the same, but soo...
