What To Expect
The experience begins at the meeting point at the Hotel Cola de Caballo, in Santiago, Nuevo León, where we will board the transport that will take us over the course of 1.5 hours to Potrero Redondo, the ejido where we start the walk to start Matacanes.
The 21km course is made up of more than 20 jumps in wonderful crystal clear pools, abseils with breathtaking views, swimming in underground tunnels and natural slides that will make this tour an epic natural water park within the Sierra Madre, a place that will leave you breathless.
Halfway through the tour, we will pause to rest and enjoy the marching snack (included in the service) to recover energy and then continue until we reach the area of the Adjuntas, which is the point that marks the end of Matacanes. At the end of the experience, we will arrive back to the transport that will return us to the Hotel Cola de Caballo.
The entire tour will be accompanied by guides accredited by the Federal Secretary of Tourism, with training in first aid, which will allow you to enjoy a super fun experience, with the peace of mind that we will care about your safety.
