Lake Pojoj belongs to the Lagunas de Montebello National Park, a network of bodies of water that are located in the Chiapas municipality of Trinitaria. The lagoons also serve as the border between Mexico and Guatemala.
The first thing you should do in Lake Pojoj is take a perfect raft ride, which is made of logs tied with natural fiber ties.
The exciting thing about these navigations is that all the crew must row, which allows you to enjoy the sound of the water, the noises of the forest and, incidentally, do some exercise that immediately revives.

Le tour annoncé a bien été réalisé dans les temps, chauffeur ok. 20 euros pour la prestation c'est plus que correct. Cependant, il vous faudra rajouter toutes les pourboires des guides (cascade du chiflón et conducteur du bateau) et l'activité du tour en radeau sur la lagune a 150 pesos. De Plus l'endroit pour se restaurer le midi est plus que chère pour ce qu'il propose. Une petit assiette de carne asada avec frijol et riz pour 120 pesos. Bref si on somme toutes les dépenses le prix du tour double quasiment. Il faut donc prévoir l'argent en liquide.Cheyenne_S

Got picked up within the timeframe and hit the road toward the falls! The guide didn’t speak any English (when I booked I had selected the English option though) It’s almost 3 hr drive to the falls, no bathroom breaks, can’t eat on the bus and the seats aren’t the most comfortable. Once we arrived at the falls we had 2 hrs to explore which was a bit rushed if you wanted to see all the falls and also relax and try to grab some food and eat before getting back on the bus. The second stop was at a lake and we were first told it was a 20 minute stop, then 30 minutes then a hr…..You have the option to go on a boat tour but you are expected to paddle the boat so it’s not a relaxing experience but it is beautiful. At this stop you can get lunch but if you don’t speak Spanish it’s impossible to understand what anyone is saying because everyone was speaking very fast. The last stop is another lake that borders Guatemala and it’s very beautiful but we weren’t given a time frame for when to be back at the bus so after wandering around for a bit the driver found all of us and we left for the almost 4 hr drive with no bathroom breaks, got back to hostel at 1030pm. It’s a very long day, the locations are beautiful but be prepared and bring your own lunch!RLuthe

Vale la pena, es un viaje largo hasta la frontera con Guatemala Los sitios son administrados por las comunidades locales, están en buen estado Irse desayunado, 2:30 hrs al Chiflon Las cascadas del Chiflon es subida no tan pesada, vale la pena verla arriba y animarse a mojarse en el mirador final -llevar cambio de ropa porque la brisa moja y toalla para secarse y aqua shoes o zapatos que no resbalen y se mojen En marzo-abril se ven los colores turquesa del agua, en junio es lluvias y va revuelta el agua Es 1:30 a las Lagunas de Montebello, llegas a comer a unos locales que tienen pollo o carne o queso fundido , bien la comida $120 Las Lagunas son impresionantes por el color, en la primera laguna te puedes subir a una balsa $200 que te lleva al otro lado a ver un cenote, y luego a la isla donde hay orquídeas y puedes nadar Luego 3 hrs de regreso Luis el chofer super amable 4 en lugar de 5 porque la camioneta iba llena y nos toco la fila del fondo y la verdad no cabíamos los 4 recargadosGilberto S

Les paysages sont magnifiques : autant les cascades que les lacs, les images valent le coup d’être vues. Mais au cours de cette journée, énormément d’heures de route sont à prévoir (presque 10 heures de route dans la journée) et cela gâche un peu la beauté des paysages. Il faudrait peut être penser à partir plus tôt afin d’éviter les bouchons au départ de San Cristobal de Las Casas et que le périple paraisse moins long. En termes d’organisation, nous avons eu très beau temps pour les Cascades mais étant en période des pluies, nous avons malheureusement vu les lacs sous la pluie. Nous avons passé davantage de temps aux lacs qu’aux cascades ce qui, en termes d’attractivité, n’est pas forcément compréhensible. Nous aurions quasiment tous préféré passer plus de temps aux Cascades qu’aux lacs, surtout en période de fortes pluies. Autre chose : lorsque vous arrivez aux lacs, vous avez la possibilité de faire un tour en radeau traditionnel. Au vu de la météo, il aurait été appréciable que le guide oriente les personnes souhaitant faire la balade sous la pluie vers le tour le plus petit afin de ne pas pénaliser les autres membres du groupe a juste attendre la fin de la balade. Au lieu de cela, nous avons dû attendre 1h30 et avions l’impression de perdre notre temps d’autant que sous une pluie battante, il est encore plus compliqué de s’occuper. Résultat : nous sommes partis à 08h00 de San Cristobal et revenus à 22h30 pour être restés 2h aux cascades et un peu plus de 2h aux lacs. En conclusion : sites à voir mais amélioration logistique serait préférable pour l’expérience client.janellejanes
