In the brochures of the cascadas de agua azul the water is clear and blue. Reviews say the water is murky and brown. What time of year is the best chance of seeing the falls and water as pictured in their advertisements?

We were there in mid March . The waters were clear . They are high in minerals from the limestone they flow over . Thus the blue . Generally they will be clear from January to June .

I drove my own car down --- most hotels will arrange transportation / tour to the falls, ruins etc. If you know which hotel you will be staying, check to see if they have a web site(many do) - services provided should mention any tour services they are able to provide. You should have little problem arranging a day trip to the falls. Best of luck & enjoy !! butch
