Stop At: Chiapa de Corzo, Tuxtla Gutierrez Mexico
Chiapa de Corzo, sitio colonial de tradición y cultura, enmarcado con la calidez de su gente, constituye una de las ciudades más bellas del Estado de Chiapas; localizada a tan sólo 15 minutos de la ciudad capital; su valor radica en su historia, debido a que fue la primera ciudad fundada por los españoles durante el siglo XVI.
De Chiapa de Corzo, sobresale el conjunto mudéjar formado por La Pila, fuente de refinada inspiración morisca hecha en ladrillo, única en Iberoamérica; el templo de Santo Domingo y el edificio conventual anexo al mismo, ahora sede del Museo de la Laca, así como las ruinas del templo de San Sebastián.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Parque Nacional Canon del Sumidero, Chiapa de Corzo Mexico
Las rocas que vemos actualmente en las paredes del Cañón del Sumidero, se comenzaron a formar hace unos 136 millones de años a base de sedimentos y minerales de calcio (calizas), el cual es formado por la acción de algunos animales marinos como los corales, esto supone que, en la antigüedad, ésta región de Chiapas estaba sumergida por un mar poco profundo.
El Cañón como tal comenzó a formarse hace 70 millones de años gracias a la acción de movimientos tectónicos llamados Horts-Graben; los cuales, por sus características de movimiento de masa de tierras, son llamados pilar tectónico y fosa tectónica respectivamente.
Hace 15 millones de años las aguas marinas se retiraron de esta región gracias a movimientos geológicos que formaron las montañas importantes de Chiapas, entre ellas, las montañas del Cañón del Sumidero, las cuales comenzaron a sufrir la disolución y erosión a causa de la misma agua, aquí nació el Cañón y comenzó su formación la cual continua en la actualidad.
Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes

The canyon is spectacular, but don't use this tour company. We were a group of six, scheduled for December 1 pickup for an English-speaking tour - not at our hotel, but at one of the hotel choices we were given when booking. We were asked to be there at 8:45. At 9:00, we called the office and the agent said, "Today?" Not a good start. She said someone would be there in 10 minutes. At 9:20 we called again, then had a Spanish-speaker call. At 9:30 a van arrived with six Spanish-speakers already aboard. First the driver said that he could only take three of us, then two more. I walked back to our hotel and found the van there offering for me to join and sit in the front seat. OK. Now it is 10:00am. Meanwhile, I got an email from Viatour at 9am reminding me to bring my ticket to the tour TOMORROW. I checked and sure enough my ticket was for TODAY. When we arrived at the launch site, there was no English-speaking guide. Not only that, but see the photo above? Not the boat we were on... instead we were crammed into a slightly larger boat with 40 people -- two seats on each side, not one. Come on, Tripadvisor, you can do better than this!Well organised & good value Weather can change rapidly so prepare for blazing sun & heavy rain.

Well organised & good value Weather can change rapidly so prepare for blazing sun & heavy rain. We saw herons,Pelicans,2 Spider Monkeys & 1 swimming crocodile. Most of all & very disturbing we saw thousands of floating plastic bottles which tarnished the experience. If you have a bad back I would definitely give this a miss or sit at the back as it’s a very BUMPY ride at speed.We booked this tour at an agency at the main square of San Cristóbal.

We booked this tour at an agency at the main square of San Cristóbal. The tour consists of three parts: - boat tour through the canyon: very impressive. Lasts about two hours. Boat was fully packed. Unfortunately there was a lot of plastic waste floating in the canyon. My suggestion: double the entry to the canyon and use this money for regular cleaning. It really made me feel very sad to see all this garbage in this amazing landscape. - visit at Chiapas town: we didn’t really enjoy this part. Hardly any nice places to eat. I can imagine why this is part of the tour though. (support the local community) - visiting two viewpoints to see the canyon from up high. I enjoyed this part, but it took in total more than an hour to get there and get back again; not everyone in my group thought it worthwhile (I personally did). The agency told us the tour would take five hours, but it turned out to be almost eight hours! No problem for us, but keep this in mind if you are on a tight schedule. Unfortunately there were no English speaking guides available, so we missed a lot of information during the boat tour.
Since we were never picked up at the hotel, even though we waited for an hour, we do not have much good to say about this trip. We can see that the money for the trip have been deducted from my account and those we would like to have back.
Thanks in advance
