🥾 Water shoes – a must-have for Huasteca Potosina, you are going to be in and out of the water constantly, clambering over sharp rocks, on slippery banks and on rickety bridges. Water shoes are the way to go. I always wear my Teva sandals and Brayden has some trainer-style water shoes.
📱 Waterproof camera or phone case – bring a GoPro or a case for your phone so you can take photos while you’re in the water. Some of the best vantage points for photos of the waterfalls require you to swim, so you want something you can take in with you. There are vendors selling waterproof phone cases at most of the falls.
👙 Swimmers – an obvious one, you are going to want to swim! The water is actually surprisingly cold here, so if you’re sensitive to cold water, it’s a good idea to bring a longer bathing suit or rash top, which also helps for sun protection.
💧 Towel – a quick dry one preferably, as you’ll hit multiple waterfalls in one day.
🎒 Waterproof bag – for any activity involving water (or possible rain) we use a waterproof bag. We have both an entire backpack that is completely waterproof, and also smaller waterproof sacks that we use for the camera and drone, as an added layer of protection and peace of mind. You will be crossing rivers, and walking very close to the waterfalls so you don’t want to take any risks with your stuff.
☀️ Sun protection – whatever that means for you – sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, rash top. Please make sure you use reef-safe sunscreen if you do have to use it. It’s best to avoid putting any pollutants into the beautiful waterfalls, but choose an eco option if you can’t avoid it altogether.
🦟 Insect repellent – the mosquitoes can be brutal around here, especially in the evenings if you’re staying outside the main cities. Please consider using a natural spray.
💧 Water – bring plenty of water! You will be walking a lot, and swimming is tiring! Be sure to use a reusable bottle and avoid creating any more plastic pollution. You’ll be out for full days most of the time, so consider packing multiple bottles to avoid having to buy single-use bottles at the waterfalls.
