The full loop: 5 days
Everything the region is famous for, north to south: rivers, pits, surrealism and archaeology. One night in Valles, one in Xilitla, the rest wherever the day ends. For travelers with a rented car or good colectivo patience.
Day 1 — Valles & Micos
Arrive, swim Micos at sunset, stock cash (ATMs thin out fast outside Valles).
Day 2 — Pits of the north
Dawn at the Golondrinas; on the way back, the caves of Mantetzulel. Overnight in Aquismón or back in Valles.
Day 3 — Tamul & the river
Boat to Tamul from Tanchachín or La Morena; afternoon drive south on the mountain road to Xilitla in time for coffee on the plaza.
Day 4 — Xilitla surreal
Morning inside Las Pozas; afternoon between the Ex Convento murals and the Leonora Carrington museum. Sleep in Xilitla — you will want the coffee again.
Day 5 — South & home
Puente de Dios at opening, a last swim at the Tamasopo falls, and the return — with a stop at Tamtoc if your bus leaves from Valles via Tamuín.
