The falls of Misol-Ha(Misolhá) are located north of the town of Ocosingo, Chiapas, just 19 kilometers from the ancient Maya metropolis of Palenque, crossing the mountains that descend into the Tulijá valley and the plains of Tabasco. The name is in Tzeltal Maya and means, "water that comes forth from the bowels of the earth."

The spectacular 30-meter falls empty into a deep pool at the base of the drop. Misol-Ha is a 20-hectare park conditioned for ecotourism, with cabins for rent and a restaurant administered completely by the local Chol Maya. The dense jungle part of Misolhá has been used for numerous films and television series.
