The El Chiflón Waterfalls are a chain of falls on the San Vicente River in the municipality of Tzimol, Chiapas, Mexico, about 16 km southwest of the city of Comitán in a straight line. The site is run today as an ecotourism centre. The river drops in stages through successive falls, the best known being El Suspiro, Ala de Ángel and Velo de Novia, the Bridal Veil. The stepped drop totals about 120 metres, and natural pools of intense turquoise form between the falls, framed by dense vegetation. The best known is Velo de Novia, where white water pours from a high cliff in a single curtain and spray fills the air around the base. Green mountains rise around the river and sugar cane fields fill the valley, from where the falls appear as a white thread on the mountainside. Visitors follow a path that climbs beside the river from fall to fall; the climb to Velo de Novia is long and steep in places, so allow enough time. Near Velo de Novia the spray is heavy, so protect your camera and phone. It makes a good half day outdoors.
