Excellent. Eric was clearly very experienced and one felt very safe in 'Eric Group' . Eric was also very charming and good fun. Recommended but very little English if an English running commentary is important to you..

Full description

Enjoy an unforgettable 9-hour experience exploring Chiapas’ most iconic natural and cultural wonders.

We begin with a visit to the breathtaking viewpoints of the Sumidero Canyon, where you’ll take in panoramic views from the top of the towering canyon walls — a perfect moment to connect with nature and capture stunning photos.

Important: On Tuesdays, the viewpoints are closed, so they are not included in the tour on that day.

Next, we head down to the dock to board a boat and navigate through the canyon itself, surrounded by cliffs reaching up to a thousand meters high. Along the way, keep an eye out for crocodiles, monkeys, and exotic birds in their natural habitat — a true geological treasure of Mexico.

The adventure continues in Chiapa de Corzo, a charming Magic Town with colonial roots. Stroll through the main square, admire the unique Mudejar-style fountain, and explore local shops filled with traditional crafts.

We return to San Cristóbal de las Casas with hearts full of awe, culture, and natural beauty.
