What people are saying about San Cristóbal de las Casas
Overall rating
The boat ride was amazing. We had a very good guide who stopped and pointed out all kinds of details in perfect weather. Organization was smooth, and our driver/guide was friendly and helpful too. Personally though, the trip to the viewpoints wouldn't have been necessary. The amazing perspective is inside the canyon, and it's not that the viewpoints are on the way: They add about 2 hours pure driving to the trip, thereby making the first lunch opportunity more of a linner. We also didn't quite understand why we stopped at different hotels on the way out to pick up more guests, we only had the option of joining in the center. That being said, I find a major flaw in many tours: Why not begin at a clearer marked meeting point? Have the guide arrive early with a clear sign, not "just" on time, so conversation will start between participants? Would make it much more personal. So: Some tiny flaws, but the canyon itself was absolutely worth it.
This tour involves a long journey from San Cristóbal (about 6 hours by van). Luckily, the drivers know the area well and are good drivers despite the numerous potholes and curves. For my taste, the blue waterfalls are too touristy, full of stalls selling handicrafts. In the middle of the waterfalls, you can cool off and take a dip. The Misol-Ha waterfall is beautiful because it is different from the others. It is a curtain of water that allows access from the back to see the entire landscape and a small cave where the water filters through. Palenque is the most spectacular part of the tour, a Mayan archaeological site in the middle of the jungle with panoramic views from the top of the temples. The Palenque area is highly recommended and well worth the trip.
The turquoise waters of the Chiflon waterfalls are spectacular. The tour consists of an uphill hike to the main waterfall, with the option of taking a dip in the various pools along the way. It's very refreshing and an incredible feeling to bathe in such natural surroundings. The Montebello lagoons are also very beautiful, with dark blue waters due to their depth. There are wooden boats with oars to cross the different lakes, a highly recommended experience.
The Sumidero Canyon is spectacular. You visit several high viewpoints and then take a motorboat tour along miles of river to see different birds, monkeys, and crocodiles. Afterwards, you stop briefly in Chiapa de Corzo, where you only have time to walk around the village, before returning to San Cristóbal at around 5:00 p.m. Highly recommended tour. The tour guide, Eric, was very friendly.
Friendly and informative English and Spanish guide. Good pace of tour. Interesting sights.
