Eyipantla Falls

Eyipantla Falls is a waterfall located in the Los Tuxtlas region of southern Veracruz in Mexico.

[1] The name Eyipantla is from Nahuatl and means, “three streams of water.” According to legend, the rain god Tlaloc was said to reside here.

[1] The water that falls is divided by rocks forming streams, especially in the drier seasons.

[2] It is a major tourist attraction, visited by over 500 people per day, with restaurants and souvenir stands crowding the entrance and parts of the waterfall area itself.

[4] Two films have been shot here, Medicine Man with Sean Connery in the early 1990s and Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto in 2006.
