Description

Agua Azul was declared a Wildlife Refuge and Forest Protection Area in 1980 and later a Special Biosphere Reserve, due to the great variety of natural species and endangered animals that inhabit its environment.
Its waterfalls are formed by the tributaries of the Otulún and Shumuljá rivers, forming shallow canyons with vertical cliffs that give rise to the waterfalls. The characteristic turquoise color of these waters is due to the calcareous rock that it flows over.
