Cascada de la Reforma

In the municpal of San Pedro Mixtepec, the Rio Chiquito, formed by a series of natural draining's that flow from the Mountain range costeña, forming a beautiful waterfall approximately 60 meters tall called La Reforma. The area is quite impressive, surrounded by a natural rock wall, as well as a series of pozas (ponds) which have been formed by the passage of water. The trail towards the cascade is very pleasant. The nature of the area is intensely alive, one can easily understand why this area was once very sacred.

How to get there:
Drive up Oaxaca ave. as far as it goes, about 15 min up the same road until you are in the foot hills. You will eventually find a sign, on the right side of the road next to a restaurant. Take the dirt road for 15 km, ask your for guidance. Take a truck because you cross the river twice, it may be too hard in the rainy season to make this drive.
