well,got to say to you that you must walk to the waterfall for some 20 minuts from the lake,and that you can easely fall down becouse you are going through the mountain.You have some bridges on your way,so don't go alone,it is better to have someone with you.On this picture are my friends crossing one of the bridges.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Whatever you decide to wear (which would usually be short pants, t-shirts and comfortable stuff to walk and go horseback riding) you should bring a good jacket or coat for the evening/nights, as they are REALLY COLD, especially in the very last and very first months of the year! So make sure you take something to cover yourself, as well as some comfortable shoes to walk in town (tennis shoes might be the best choice) and maybe a pair of boots if you're planning to go into the woods.

Lovely corner, Valle de Bravo

 Laura_Mexico Says:  A cute corner of the main square, on the back side of the Cathedral, with the fountain and the lamppost giving it a romantic aspect -- at least to me!

Lovely Waterfall

Lovely Waterfall, Valle de Bravo

 Laura_Mexico Says:  This is me in front of a nice waterfall you can find on your way downhill from Avandaro (where my hotel was) to Valle de Bravo, right next to the road. It looks really nice and you can stop there to relax for a while and admire the surrounding landscape.
