The end of the rainy season is a great time to visit Jalpan de Serra, located in Queretaro in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve.Lovely private cabins dot the mountains throughout the area, providing a quiet getaway free from technology.This mountain region is extremely rich in biological diversity and history.The Franciscan Missions in the Sierra Gordas were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and should not be missed, while Puente de Dios is another must-see stop in the Sierra Gorda mountains.Words and pictures cannot adequately describe the river’s clarity and lovely turquoise colour, as hikers travel along the riverbank through a forest teeming with birds and frogs.There is water everywhere, flowing through rock, carving beautiful formations through stone.Waterfalls flow from the surrounding hills as hikers traverse the winding path alongside, across, and sometimes several feet above the river before reaching the beautiful natural bridge.The Bridge of God, Puente de Dios, is a large cavern through a natural bridge where water constantly falls from above as visitors remove their tennis shoes and put on water shoes to explore inside the river cavern.
