Highlights

Admire beautiful waterfalls and impressive caves, and search for wildlife such as crocodiles, monkeys, and birds.
- Chiapa de Corzo - Then continue with your guide to Chiapa de Corzo, designated a Pueblo Mágico, or Magical Town, for its historical significance as the first colonial city founded by Spanish conquistadors in the state of Chiapas. You will have time to eat a selection of regional cuisine during a traditional buffet before a visit to the city’s central fountain. Here, admire the outstanding Mudejar-style brickwork and colorful crafts for sale nearby.

Great time in the canyon - Had a great time on this tour. The ride through the canyon was breathtaking. The tour guide was very knowledgeable as well.

Really well run tour, beautiful place - We were so happy with this tour as we were a little worried that it had no Viatour reviews, but it was all great. The pick up was on time and it was very well organised. The cruise was incredible, but the viewpoints really make it, so definitely don't do a tour without this. The lunch was also very good.

Stunning - Quite an exciting boat ride on the river/reservoir. the mountains are stunningly spectacular. Lots of wildlife in the air, on the ground, and in the water to keep your interest. When you gaze to the tops of the mountains, though, your breath will be taken away.

Misleading Inclusions - The actual tour of the canyon was amazing. We were picked up on time by the driver and he was pleasant but it was blazing hot with about 16 people in the van and the AC did not work. However, what I was most disappointed about was that I paid for a tour with what I thought was an included lunch. We arrived at the second stop after the Sumidereo tour and were led into a buffet restaurant and then were asked to pay the bill. I asked the tour guide but he said this was not included. If I would have known I would not have paid extra for this tour.

Nobody picked us up even though the trip was confirmed - We have booked this tour via Tripadvisor and we received many confirmations from both Tripadvisor and Viator (the intermediate company that does the actual reservations). On the day of the trip we waited for the shuttle to pick us up.
As nobody showed up, we called the number of the tour organizers and they told us there was no space for us on the bus. They did not tell us this until we called them. We did not receive any cancellation or explanation. They said that the intermediate company did the reservation too late. but then, why do we get a confirmation?
This is absolutely unacceptable. Never would I book this tour again.
