Fun trip but be prepared for a long ride from San Cris - Wasn't available in English but but Spanish wasn't needed, except understanding a clock.
It's a long ride from San Cris but that should be obvious.
Chiflon:
I loved the hike up to the waterfall and I cant describe how good the mist felt.
The outside temp + the wind + the mist from the falls = The best feeling ever
It is a lot of steps to the top. Not brutal, but not easy. Plenty of benches on the way to stop and break if needed.
Montebello;
Ehhh....
It's cool. Very pretty....
It's at the border and stop at a place with a cool view and can get a decent lunch.
You also get a chance to walk to Guatemala. Nothing special but its neat.
The only issue I had was the island you see in all the pics.
You can go there, and to me it's worth it......but you gotta pay an extra 200 pesos for a boat ride. A boat trip you probably arent used to (not gonna spoil it)
But you can take a swim on the island if you want, I did. they got changing rooms if you're shy.
Final thought: To me, the trip was worth the money. 350 pesos,. I get other expenses happen on a tour, but was pretty annoyed that I had to pay another 200 pesos for a .5 KM boat ride that required me to paddle.

Fantastic experience, unbelieveable value!!! - Its is a long drive, however the sceney was beautiful and the van was very comfortable so was not an issue for us when compared to the incredible beauty of the falls...It is a workout but worth every step. Then went to the lagoons which were almost otherworldly...a mist hung over them and we all got on rafts and went around the lagoon. I would drfinitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area...worth every peso!

Wonderful - Really nice experience, it worth it !
The guide is not speaking English but we had a very good group coming from different countries around the world.
Amazing lake and waterfalls.
Just be careful with your phone, we are really close to Guatemala, keep airplane mode for your data 😉

Fun experience from San Cris - Fun experience. First you do Chiflon waterfall and the Lake Montebello, before ending at a lake on the Guatemalan border. You won’t get back until 9ish, so I would not plan to do anything intense like Palenque the next day.

Wonderful time - We had a great time on this tour! We booked it kind of last minute and did not regret it at all. The drive to the waterfalls and lakes was absolutely beautiful, and the raft ride on the lakes was the best part.

Beautiful landscapes. - The shuttle service is very useful. The wonderful landscapes, the beautiful places visited. The agency transports you but does not provide tourist guide services that allow you to learn more about each place.

Beautiful waterfalls and lake, long day - The waterfalls and lake were beautiful. You can swim at the lake, we weren’t told and didn’t bring swimsuits. We took a raft out to the small island. You can also zip line down at the waterfalls for an additional 650 pesos. It was a really long day, it ended up being three hours longer than advertised. The van was nice, the driver played a movie in Spanish on the way back to San Cristobal. It’s a very bumpy ride, so it was hard to sleep. We made a few stops around the lake and also went to the Guatemala side.

Journey through hell and heaven! - This is not the tour for anyone with motion sickness!
The driver (not guide) was good but rushed to finish the journey fast in the very winding roads for 4 hours towards Montebello lakes first. He didn’t speak a word of English and we had to find out from other passengers about the itinerary each time. He also reversed the itinerary and we ended up going to the best part of El Chiflon waterfall last instead of first during sundown and shops closed. We all had to scamper to see the waterfalls and one passenger fell down on the steps back because it was too dark to see!
We didn’t get back till almost 11pm since 8am. We fell bad for the driver as he had to maneuver in such hard road conditions and bad traffics for almost 14 hours! We did tip him for his hard work.
The waterfall was the only thing worth seeing in the end, but NOT the rest with the agonizing journey and lack of communication from the start.
