Salto del Nogal

Jalisco's tallest waterfall, reached by a steep canyon hike south of Tapalpa.

Salto del Nogal is the big outdoor prize near Tapalpa. At roughly 105 metres, it is usually described as the tallest waterfall in Jalisco, dropping into a steep canyon south of town.

This is not a quick photo stop. The route down and back is hot, steep, and tiring, especially on the climb out, so start early, carry water, and avoid treating it as a casual town walk. In the rainy season the surrounding forest is greener, but paths can also be slick.
