Meet El Chorro de Juana in Victoria
Among the folds of Guanajuato's Sierra Gorda, in Derramaderos (Victoria), beats a natural treasure: the Chorro de Juana, a waterfall that plunges its waters from more than 200 m to engender a crystalline pool at the edge of the cliff.
Deep in the Sierra Gorda of Guanajuato, in the community of Derramaderos, municipality of Victoria, hides one of the most impressive natural jewels of the state: the Chorro de Juana, a waterfall that descends from a height of more than 200 meters, forming a natural pool right on the edge of a cliff.
The visual spectacle is breathtaking. Rainwater falls from above, creating a liquid curtain that feeds a crystal clear pool surrounded by vegetation, rocks and silence. It is the kind of place that looks like something out of a postcard, perfect for taking spectacular photos and living an experience of total connection with nature.
The area surrounding Chorro de Juana is ideal for hiking and adventure lovers. The mountainous landscapes, the little-traveled trails and the clean air invite you to explore calmly but with an intrepid spirit. For first-time visitors, there are local guides in the city of Victoria who can take you on the right path, guaranteeing safety and accompaniment along the way.
Once in the area, you can relax in the natural pool, enjoy the views from the top of the cliff or just sit and listen to the sound of the falling water. The hike is worth every step when you are greeted by a place of such beauty and serenity.
Victoria, the municipality that houses this wonder, is located northeast of Guanajuato. It is bordered to the north by San Luis Potosí, to the east by Xichú, to the south by Santa Catarina and Doctor Mora, and to the west by San Luis de la Paz, from where you can also access to begin this unforgettable adventure.
