Cañón del Sumidero y Chiapa de Corzo: río Grijalva y Pueblo Mágico
Full-Day Tour
About Cañón del Sumidero y Chiapa de Corzo: río Grijalva y Pueblo Mágico
This tour takes you from San Cristóbal de las Casas to one of Chiapas' most breathtaking natural landscapes: the Cañón del Sumidero. Aboard a boat, you cruise along the río Grijalva for about 2 hours, surrounded by massive rock walls rising from the water.
The rocks forming the canyon walls began taking shape around 136 million years ago from sediment and calcium minerals — evidence that this region of Chiapas was once covered by a shallow sea.
After the boat ride, you visit Chiapa de Corzo, a colonial city and Pueblo Mágico. There you'll see La Fuente, the Iglesia de Santo Domingo, and Los Portales — icons of its rich history and architecture.
It's a full-day experience ideal for those who want to combine nature, history, and culture in a single trip from San Cristóbal de las Casas.
