Being formed 36 million years ago, this natural wonder is linked to Chiapas history
and represents one of the most breathtaking beauties of Mexico. The trip through the canyon, on the Grijalva
River, is just an unforgettable experience. The cliffs, over 900
meters high (2,900 feet) hold caves and waterfalls as well as an
extraordinary
variety of fauna specimens such as birds, monkeys and crocodiles.
All this wonder
of nature can be
admired from the boats that sail the canyon in a 32 kms (19 miles) tour departing from Chiapa de
Corzo or Cahuaré. The Canyon can also be admired from the highs
in five lookout points.
Location
Between Tuxtla Gutierrez and Chiapa de Corzo. Boats can be taken
from a dike in Chiapa de Corzo (2 blocks from the main plaza) and Cahuaré.
