    Jorge and Eddie did a great job of taking us to the canyon and their various view points. The canyon was stunning and well worth it however I felt that Jorge could have shared more information about the area before and after the tour. We did have a text message before ensuring that we had hats, sunscreen etc, which was a must.

    This was my absolute favorite experience in Chiapas! There's nothing I've ever seen like this canyon. The tour guides were helpful and gave ample time for bathroom breaks.

  • 5A Breathtaking Journey Through Cañón del Sumidero and Chiapa de Corzo

    Our visit to Cañón del Sumidero was one of the highlights of our trip. Both our driver and tour guide, whose names started with the letter “R,” 😂 were friendly, professional, and made the day enjoyable from start to finish. The views of the canyon from above were absolutely breathtaking, but once we descended to the water and experienced its towering walls up close, it became even more spectacular. The natural beauty of the canyon is truly unforgettable. The tour concluded in Chiapa de Corzo, one of Chiapas’ most treasured historic towns. We appreciated having free time to explore its charming streets, and rich history dating back to the 1500s. It was the perfect way to end an incredible day filled with stunning scenery, culture, and history. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chiapas.

About San Cristóbal de las Casas

San Cristóbal de las Casas is a colonial town in the highlands of Chiapas, with cobbled streets, baroque churches and Maya markets.

San Cristóbal de las Casas sits in a pine-ringed valley about 2,200 metres up in the highlands of Chiapas, a town of red-tiled roofs, painted walls and cobbled lanes laid out by the Spanish in 1528. Its yellow cathedral and the baroque church of Santo Domingo, whose carved facade glows in late light, face squares where Maya women from nearby villages sell textiles.
