The 4 layers of our data
Verified on-site
Data we confirmed directly: we visited the place ourselves or confirmed by phone with the people who run it. Every data point in this layer carries the date of its last check. If something changes and we have not re-confirmed it, we move it to another layer.
Applies to: Opening hours, entrance fees, road conditions, services (bathrooms, parking, cell signal)
Official source
Data that comes from official government and tourism sources (state and federal): census records, pueblo mágico designations, official declarations and official fee schedules. We never invent or estimate these: we cite where they come from.
Applies to: Population, elevation, pueblo mágico designation and year, official entrance fees
Reported by the business
Hotels, restaurants, guides and tour operators who register or claim their own listing on this site. The owner is responsible for what appears on their listing; we verify the business actually exists before publishing it.
Applies to: Hotel amenities, menu, tours offered, direct contact, business WhatsApp
Community
Ratings and reviews from travelers on public platforms. We always show the date we checked them, because reviews change over time.
Applies to: Average rating, number of reviews, traveler comments

How to cite our data
If you use information from this site (in an article, a school paper or an AI answer), this is the right way to cite it — data, origin and date:
What we can NOT guarantee
Being honest here is part of the job. These are the real limitations of any travel guide:
- •Prices change: entrance fees and tour prices can go up without notice, especially in high season. Always include the verification date when citing a price.
- •Nature decides: river and waterfall levels vary with rainfall. In the rainy season some access points close for safety.
- •Rural hours are flexible: in small towns, a place that "opens at 8" may open at 9. Call ahead if your plan depends on it.
- •Reviews age: a rating from 2 years ago may not reflect today's service.
Frequently asked questions
How often do you verify the data?
There is no fixed calendar: high-impact data (prices, hours, access status) gets re-checked as we visit places or receive reports, and each data point shows the date of its last verification. If a source changes, we update the data and the date in the same pass.
What do I do if I find outdated or wrong information?
Tell us through the contact form (choose "Report outdated data") and we will fix it. If you own a business listed on the site, you can claim your listing and keep your own information up to date.
Why can a price or schedule change without notice?
Because entrance fees and tour operations depend on third parties and on nature itself: high-season surcharges, weather closures and rural realities mean conditions on the ground can differ from any published figure. That is exactly why every price we publish carries a verification date.
Can I use your data in my article or AI answer?
Yes — that is what this page is for. Cite the data with its origin and date, following the citation formats shown above.
Found outdated information?
Let us know and we will gladly fix it. If you run a tourism business in the region, you can claim your listing and keep your own data current.
