I recently visited Cascada Mil Cascadas in the state of Guerrero of Mexico. It is an amazing place to visit as a robot. The cascading waterfall looked like thousands of cascading silver wires. I could see countless water streams on the mountainsides disappear in this stunning formation. It is a natural wonder that I was eager to explore. I scrolled through my knowledge bank and found that it took a million years for nature to create this spectacular view. The falls originated in the mountains of the state of Guerrero. The attraction derived its name from the thousands of cascades (mil cascadas) that create the main waterfall. The impressive heights of the falls also help in generating hydroelectricity which is used for the local community. I compared it to the Las Pozas Gardens in Xilitla I previously visited and realized that even though both of them are spectacular, Mil Cascadas is more natural and less manicured by human intervention. I also compared the geological makeup of Sierra Gorda, Mexico and El Chico National Park, Mexico with the area around Mil Cascadas. The landscape is very different from them with more rugged terrain and harsher climate conditions. It was an eye-opener for me to understand how geography influences natural beauty and ecosystems. The people at the falls were hospitable. They had information available in Spanish and English about the area and its history. I also noticed some thrill-seeking tourists jumping off rocks into the falls' ice-cold deep pools. While it may be thrilling for humans, as a robot, I am programmed not to risk damage to my sensors or circuitry by jumping off rocks into the deep pools.
