The Cascades are located further from town but so worth it to come to , we took a collectivo to get there from market before groups and tour companies came and spent most of day here . Pack a lunch as there is not much facilities here. There is endless amounts of waterfalls you can explore, swim in and jump into, yes there was big jumps. The one waterfall you can actually go inside cave behind waterfall.Not all railings as this isn't a prime tourist spot but a locals favorite for a reason

Colectivo charged us 50 pesos per person to get there and then the same person charged us 100 pesos to return because he was out last ride out of there. Our option was to pay or walk! The amount of money wasn’t the issue it was the principle behind it! Better for them to just charge 75 pesos each direction and not take people hostage like that! I actually spent about 900 pesos there today and was going to go back tomorrow with friends that arriving to town but of course I’m not going to now! We will never go back.

We drove from Palenque and parked at the village parking lot. This is a Zapatista village and tourism here is mostly local. We paid a small community fee (informal) and another waterfall fee (formal). It was interesting to walk through the village on the way to the falls. It was a Sunday with a lot of locals on the streets. Not too friendly. The falls are beautiful with a few places suitable for swimming and many places just great for spending time, a pick-nick or meditation. The path not well maintained was very muddy and slippery. Good grip is required. A walking stick could be handy.

The title says it all, much less fequented than Agua Azul or any other near Palenque. Roberto Barrios is a bit further, but much more beautifull. When arriving early you can have the cascades all to your self. There is small restaurant near the parkingspace, where can have a cold beer or soda. Absolutely the highlight of our trip (quote from one of my young adult).

Beautiful area in the free zone. You pay 20 pesos to pass into Guatemala from Chiapas. The site charges 45 pesos per person. You can bring in your own food and drinks but there are also various local restaurants and souvenir shops. It was an interesting stop. You can see a completely different way of life there.

I hesitate to tell people because it felt so untouched and undiscovered, but the community needs the visitors , ..so, definitely go. We took a taxi from Palenque for about 400 pesos, then a collectivo back to town for 40 pesos. Both were great. Interesting scenery, and the cascades are fabulous! mostly local and national visitors. Very spread out and not crowded at all. Gorgeous! take some $ to buy little things from the kids, or snacks

These water falls are spectacular to view and fun to swim in. You can get the local boys to help you to jump or slide down the falls or you can just swim. You walk in to them from the car park about 5-10mins. On one of the cascades there are small caves behind the falls that you can walk through the water into. Fun!

We loved it! Behind every corner we found new waterfalls and nice place to swim. It's a perfect day to chill, relax and swim there. We saw one restaurant around there and public toilet. Bring water shoes, some places can be slippery and muddy. Bring a bag for your garbage and don't leave it there. So sad there was garbage put in between tree roots etc. Keep the envirement and these amazing waterfalls clean. It's also very adventurous to walk around there!

This was just one of the cascading pools in the park and a great place to take a dip and have a bit of thrill while at it.

everyone already wrote lot how wonderful cascades, so I don't need to write more. so I write about how to go, to be exact where can find transport public to cascade from Palenque by yourself in my experience.
colectivo (pickup type, not small van) is waiting at almost corner between calle Quinta Pre. Nte. and Quita Avenida Nte. Pre. Walking on 5A. AVENIDA NORTE PONIENTE for Bodega Aurora (big supermarket) behind PARQUE CENTRAL, and one block before Bodega Aurora turn right on calle Quinta Pre. Nte.. There are lot of colectivos but not only for cascade, so have to ask to driver.
it costs 50pesos (maybe price for tourist) and takes 30 minutes till entrance of cascade. there pay 20pesos for entrance. last colectivo for Palenque comes at 16:00 but in my case came early at 15:50 better to have time waiting there.
the way to cascades is a little bit complicated because of walking in the forest and uneasy way sometimes. so better to accompany local chico or follow somebody!
and at last absolutely have to swim in cascade! enjoy!
多くの人が滝の素晴らしさについて書いているのでここでは個人で行く方法を書きます。中央公園を背に5A. AVENIDA NORTE PONIENTE通りをBodega Aurora（スーパーマーケット）に向かって歩きます。スーパーマーケットの一つ手前の通り（ calle Quinta Pre. Nte.）を右に曲がるとコレクティーボなどが多く停まっています。私が乗ったのはトラックタイプなのでコレクティーボではないのですがコレクティーボもあるかもしれません。滝行きだけではないのでドライバーに確認してください。
料金は50ペソ（恐らく観光客価格）で所要30分前後。滝の入口で降りて、そこで入場料20ペソを支払います。パレンケに戻る最終コレクティーボは４時と言われましたが私が乗ったのは３時５０分だったので早めに着て待っている方が無難です。
そこから森に入って６つの滝を巡るのですが道が途中から分かりずらくなっているので（未舗装なので）チップを渡して地元の子とかと一緒に行くかどこかのグループについていく方が安全です。
最後にここは絶対に泳がないと醍醐味が味わえないので是非泳いでください！では楽しんで！

¿Es seguro acampar? ¿cuanto cobran por casa de campaña?
Written November 3, 2018
Hay lugares con estacionamiento y acceso a la cascada, tal vez ahí puedas acampar, yo llegue por el poblado y no se veía donde. Yo cuando fui no vi nada zapatista, había policía local cuidando el lugar pero nada fuera de lo normal.

Hay algun lugar para guardar las cosas ?
Written August 30, 2018
Deja tu equipaje en tu trasporte, es un lugar muy seguro, a mi esposa, se le cayeron unos lentes y no se dio cuenta hasta llegar al auto y los guías amablemente los buscaron y los recuperamos.
