Egyptian Falls State of Veracruz, Mexico





We heard about a beatiful waterfall near San Andres Tuxtla, so we headed out to Egyptian Falls. The road was supposed to be good. It wasn't. It was full of holes, topes, and even some young bandits who lamely tried to stop traffic with a string and a dirty rag suspended across the road. Upon arrival at the site, the kids and poor folks accosted for parking help, selling trinkets, and trying to get a few pesos, us until we got mean.
The falls were beautiful, but entirely too popular. They are over 30 meters high and 40 meters wide. The resident shaman, or witch doctor who has a shack at the bottom of the falls wasn't in. His workshop had a padllock on it and I heard some folks talking about how dissappointed they were.
I guess I'll have to wait until later to find out just what is bugging me.
