Explore Chiapas to the Maximum wiht this Self-Guided Travel Itinerary
Travel Designer Review:
The Sumidero Canyon is one of the most beautiful natural sites in Chiapas and Mexico. It is known as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. I'm sure you will love it.
The tour must be done by boat, which takes you upstream through the canyons. The views are impressive, with some canyons reaching heights of over 900 meters. But the most incredible thing is the nature that exists between the canyons and on the walls.
For those who make a reservation for any of my "Travel on Your Own" itineraries to Chiapas, I will share some tips to enhance their visit to the Sumidero Canyon.
If you rented a car, you will be able to easily travel to San Cristobal de las Casas. The journey takes about 1 hour and covers 60 kilometers.
If you did not rent a car, I recommend requesting a taxi. The approximate cost of the transfer is 600 pesos. I recommend going directly to your hotel to settle in before going out to explore San Cristobal de las Casas.
All the hotels I will suggest are located in the center of San Cristobal de las Casas. They are hotels with an optimal location and good service. Most hotels in San Cristobal are small, so it is very common to have availability issues.
They are small because the city has been declared a World Heritage Site and the law prohibits modifications to the buildings in order to preserve the historic architectural heritage. Magnificent hotels where you can enjoy San Cristobal de las Casas.

The following suggested activities and notes are not included in the reservation of this itinerary. The Travel Designer included them so that you can optionally do them on your own during your trip.
Do you want to discover Chiapas in depth? This tour is one of the most comprehensive that you can do in Chiapas. Each day, we will make the most of our time so you can see as much as possible.
During the first few days, we will dedicate our time to exploring Tuxtla Gutierrez and El Aguacero, one of the lesser-known natural attractions near Tuxtla Gutierrez. Of course, we will also visit the Sumidero Canyon.
Afterwards, we will go to San Cristobal, using it as a base to visit indigenous communities, as well as the El Chiflon waterfall and the Montebello Lakes.
After seeing these wonderful places, we will head north to visit Agua Azul, Palenque, and Misol-ha. This area of Chiapas is also incredible.
Lastly, we will stay in the city of Palenque for a few days in order to visit Yaxchilan and Bonampak. These are some of the most incredible ruins in all of Mexico, as they are submerged in the jungle.
All activities on the itinerary are suggestions and are not included in the cost if you choose to make a reservation. The only thing included are the hotels that I recommend. I carefully selected these hotels. They are hotels that I know, are of quality, comfortable, and have very good reviews. If you make a reservation for this itinerary, I will provide you with additional tips to enhance your trip.
