Las Adjuntas

## Overview Las Adjuntas is a mountain spring located near the small community of Aserradero in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. Situated at an elevation in the rugged Sierra Madre Oriental, this natural spring draws its water from the mountainous terrain of northeastern Mexico — a region known for its dramatic limestone geology and abundant underground water sources. The name "Las Adjuntas" (meaning "the junctions" or "the meeting points") likely refers to the convergence of waterways or trails in the area, a common naming convention in rural Mexico for places where natural features come together. The spring has historically served as a source of mountain spring water ("agua de manantial de la montaña") for local residents and visitors. The surrounding landscape of Nuevo León's highlands offers striking views of arid mountain terrain interspersed with pockets of lush vegetation fed by natural water sources like this one. ## Directions 1. From the town of **Aserradero, Nuevo León (NLE 67312)**, head toward the mountainous area surrounding the community. 2. The spring is located at GPS coordinates **25.327821, -100.161814**. Using a GPS device or smartphone navigation is strongly recommended, as signage in the area may be limited. 3. Roads in this region can be unpaved and rugged — a vehicle with good clearance is advisable, especially during the rainy season (June–October). *Note: These directions are based on the GPS coordinates provided and have not been independently verified. Asking locals in Aserradero for guidance to "Las Adjuntas" or the nearby mountain spring is recommended.* ## What to Expect Las Adjuntas is a natural mountain spring set in the highland terrain of Nuevo León. Visitors can expect a rustic, undeveloped site typical of rural Mexican springs — the water emerges directly from the mountainside, fed by rainfall filtering through the region's characteristic limestone formations. The Sierra Madre Oriental's karst geology naturally filters water through layers of rock, which often gives mountain springs in this area a notably clean and mineral-rich character. The area around Aserradero is relatively remote, so visitors should come prepared with supplies. Cell phone service may be limited. The spring is publicly accessible, and locals have traditionally used it as a drinking water source, though water quality can vary with seasonal conditions. The rainy season (June through October) may increase water flow but can also make access roads more challenging. The surrounding mountain scenery makes the trip worthwhile even beyond the spring itself — the Sierra Madre Oriental in this part of Nuevo León features dramatic canyons, pine-oak forests at higher elevations, and expansive views of the northeastern Mexican highlands.
