Sumidero Canyon is an absolute must-see when visiting Chiapas. Our day began at 8:45 a.m. in the central square of San Cristóbal, where we gathered before setting off on our adventure. We made a quick stop for restrooms and then visited two breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the canyon—one even had a small restaurant—before winding our way down to the port to board our boat.
Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the canyon, the national park, and the Grijalva River that runs through it. He had a remarkable eye for wildlife, spotting spider monkeys and crocodiles along the way, and he patiently gave everyone time to take photos and ask questions. After a scenic and informative two-hour journey through the canyon, we arrived in Chiapa de Corzo, where we enjoyed a late lunch and explored the local market before heading back to San Cristóbal, returning around 5:00 p.m.
Both our guide and driver were fantastic. Although the tour was originally intended to be in Spanish, most of the group spoke English, and our guide did an excellent job sharing everything in both languages—no small feat. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience and this company!

It's alot of time on a minibus for a wonderful 2hr hour boat trip through the canyon. Consider getting a bus or driver to Chiapa de Corzo for round trip tour on river instead.

Very interesting and beautiful trip through the canyon. The van and boat drivers were great and everything went smoothly.
Laura_W, Jan 2026
Mindblowing experience. Really friendly tour guides. Altough i booked a tour in spanish (because i found nothing in english) the guide saw that many people of the group couldn't speak spanish so she did the tour in english and was very kind and easy going.

Perfect experience to explore alot in a day but without any stress. I wasn’t really aware of the need to bring a swimsuit , but didn’t want to swim anyway in the pools , the water was very cold

Wonderful experience! I had a great time. Plenty of opportunities to take pictures there. The boat ride was smooth and beautiful. The best part was seeing monkeys

Wonderful experience, beautiful place. Tour guide provided clear explanation of the sites. The transport van was clean with AC.

Really worth the price and the package. Canon Sumidero is a once in a lifetime experience and this tour is the one.

The canyon is beautiful! We also enjoyed the festival in the town of Chiapa de Corzo. The driver was so thoughtful! He gave us an extra hour in the town to watch the parade.
Amy_C, Oct 2024
Great experience. What a stunning place to visit. The driver took care of everyone, I appreciated the time at each of the views and our boat journey down the river along the canyon was fantastic. And a lovely mix of people in our group.

We were not aware or informed that the tour is in Spanish only. Also after the boat trip we were dropped off for an hour and half to "explore" the city. The city has nothing to offer and restaurants there are horible, so prepare for doing nothing 90minutes after the tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that there was some confusion about the tour. In the tour information, we do mention that it does not include a guide. However, we understand that this might not have been clear enough, and we’ll work on improving our communication to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
Regarding the visit to Chiapa de Corzo, this stop is scheduled around lunchtime. Since this is a shared tour, many of our take passengers the opportunity to try the local cuisine, which is quite unique and different from other regions. We appreciate your insights and will consider your comments as we continue to improve our offerings.
Thank you again for choosing to visit Chiapas with us!

Beautiful views, fun boat ride, and a glimpse into Chiapas de Corzo. The guides are always kind and helpful :) great way to see new sights.
Kevin_M, Jul 2024
The driver was careful and always on time. The trip was well organized, and the driver seemed highly experienced. The nature and the views are totally breathtaking, making the journey truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable travel experience to Cañón del Sumidero.

TAKE YOUR TRAVEL MEDS if you’re like me and get sick in the car.
This tour was a great value for the money. I personally didn’t care about the last stop in Chiapa de Corzo and would rather arrive to San Cris sooner but I enjoyed everything else. The canyon is a must see if you’re in San Cris or around, we also saw some crocodiles and monkeys and a lot of birds. Unfortunately it’s impossible to book an English guide if you’re a solo traveller like me but there was a couple who booked an English guide so I could ask him some things and I also speak a bit of Spanish (the guide on the boat is another guide who only speaks Spanish so if you can’t book an English guide who will translate you won’t understand. But it’s still a great experience.)

Un día inolvidable, y la guía fue buena y honesta. El cañón es majestuoso y muy impresionante. Muchas gracias. (I am American but speak Spanish and the tour was completely in Spanish; I’m not sure how much translation there would or would not have been if I did not.)

Jalapeńo Tours made our experience even MORE memorable. Cańon del Sumidero is a fun trip for those seek adventure and appreciate nature. Venturing through the canon feels like you are going way back in time. We got to see huge iguanas, crocodiles, and monkeys. Savor every moment, because you are bound to miss something you've never seen in person before.

Excursion cancelled the day before due to rain... exchange made for the next day with confirmation that the program would be the same... and not at all! End of the excursion at 15h15 (announced 17h), and no stop at Mirdor!!!

Nice visit, very beautiful canyon, we saw many animals.
Recommendation, do not go to the restaurant at the exit of the boat.

Es una experiencia divertida y fascinante, la excursión en lancha por el cañón es muy instructiva, ya que el capitán explica muy bien muchos aspectos diferentes. El conductor, en cambio, se limita a lo necesario y no se ofrece a un servicio turístico amable, más bien te encuentras con una actitud indiferente.
Nonia_M, Jul 2022
Una experiencia increíble, lo que más nos gusto fue el paseo en lancha, admirar esos cerros altísimos, ver toda la fauna, monos, cocodrilos… y las cascadas
Matthieu_R, Jul 2019
Ça grouille de vie, crocodile, singe et pélicans à perte de vue. Je m’attendais à voir surgir un Ptéodactyle à tout moment. A faire sans hésiter !
