==Geography==
El Naranjo is located in an extensive area of tropical and semi-tropical mountains and lowlands called the La Huasteca after the Indian civilization and people inhabiting the region. The town of El Naranjo is in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental. It received its name because previously an orchard of orange trees (naranjos) was located at the townsite. The municipality consists mostly of forested mountains with elevations of up to 5,000 feet (1500 mts) and valleys cultivated mostly in sugar cane. A large sugar refinery is located in the town of El Naranjo.〔Google Earth〕
El Naranjo is noted for three large waterfalls. El Salto, six miles (10 km) north of the town of El Naranjo, is on the river of the same name. The waterfall is high. A hydro-electric plant drains water from the river and the falls are often dry except during the rainy season in the summer. Below the falls, a canal returns water to the river and for three miles the El Salto River is a "wonderful Class IV blue water river." Several small, 10 to 25 feet (3-8 mt) high waterfalls navigable by expert kayakers are in this section of the river.〔"Rio Salto & Leap River -- Mexico" http://www.gapaddle.com/canoe-a-kayak-trip-reports/363-rio-salto-a-leap-river-mexico.html, accessed 4 Apr 2013〕 The high El Meco cascade is at the end of the three-mile stretch of rapids below El Salto. A stairway leads to observation points and a hotel and restaurant are near the falls.〔 "Mexico: Huasteca Secreta, San Luis Potosi" http://wavejourney.com/destinations/mexico-huasteca-secreta-san-luis-potosi/, accessed 4 Apr 2013〕
Below El Meco the El Salto River becomes less turbulent, running peacefully through a valley of sugar cane plantations near the town of El Naranjo. About nine miles (15 km) south of El Naranjo on a tributary of the El Salto River is the Cascada de Minas Viejas, with a drop. Below the principal waterfall is a series of pools and smaller waterfalls dropping over travertine terraces. Minas Viejas is similar in appearance to Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon of the United States, although the falls is surrounded by tropical, rather than desert, vegetation.〔"Waterfalls of the Huasteca" http://trans-americas.com/blog/2010/04/huasteca-waterfalls/, accessed 4 Apr 2013〕
