Sumidero Canyon and Chiapa de Corzo Combo Tour
6 h
About this activity
Be ready for pickup at your San Cristòbal hotel at 9am to start the tour. Drive west about an hour to reach Sumidero Canyon, a canyon inside a national park where the Grijalva River meanders through a narrow gorge with walls up to 3,280 feet (1000 meters) high.
Travel through Sumidero Canyon on a 2.5-hour boat ride and admire the scenic views of the deciduous rain forest. Look for wildlife including river crocodiles. Learn about the canyon’s natural history (Spanish-only narration) and how it formed around the same time as the Grand Canyon in the United States.
Afterward, head to Chiapa de Corzo, one of Mexico's Pueblo Mágicos, or magic towns. Explore this colonial city on the banks of the Grijalva River for an hour or so, stopping in to Santo Domingo Church, a former monastery built by Dominican friars in the 16th century. Stroll around the central plaza and see the famous La Pochota, a centuries-old kapok tree around which the town was founded. Admire La Pila fountain, a beautiful Moorish structure built in 1562. Buy some souvenirs before heading back to downtown San Cristobal, where the tour ends.
