Return to the Blue Falls: Climbing Tequila’s ‘Machu Picchu’ is worth the torture, say ecstatic painters

After publishing several articles on Tequila’s extraordinary 170-meter-high Los Azules Waterfalls, I was soon receiving requests from people interested in seeing this wonder for themselves. The only problem was, I had less than perfect information on how to get there, so I decided it was time to revisit the falls with a few hardy friends in order to familiarize myself with the access trail.

Los Azules are located at the northeast end of the town of Tequila, at the edge of the dramatically beautiful La Toma Canyon, which is about 600 meters deep with a tropical climate at the bottom. I have heard this magnificent canyon referred to as “El Machu Picchu de Tequila,” by a tourist guide who, I swear, was stone sober! Twenty years ago, friends and I had spotted Los Azules from the opposite wall of the canyon, but all our attempts to reach the falls had failed, until recently.
