Beautiful scenery! - 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.

A highlight of our trip - A ride on the Cañón sumidero was a unique experience! To see how over 1000m high steep walls rise above us. We have also seen many animals, such as crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, cormorants. We arrived with the rental car at Tuxtla gutierrez from the "embarcadero cauharé", there you can either wait until the boat, which fits about 20 people, is full and then drive for about 300pesos or you can do the about 2 hour boat ride private for 4000. Since we were only there at 4pm and it was not certain if enough people would get together that the boat would still leave that day, we decided on the latter variant and did not regret it! By the way, parking is straightforward and free of charge directly at the jetty

Go! - The canyon was spectacular and the guide spoke with authority in Spanish with occasional usage of his limited English.

Great experience, so worth it! - 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.

Great value for the money, beautiful experience - 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.)

Boat forever, lookouts never. - The first half of the tour was not really necessary. Sitting in a bus for hours to go to two lookouts was the best use of time. The boat ride throughout the canyon was definitely worthwhile. If a tour was offered without the lookouts and halfing the time I would seriously recommend it.

No English - 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.

Tour is 100% in Spanish and there is a lot of trash - Nothing in the description says the tour is completely in Spanish. We were only made aware of that fact the day before the tour and by that time it was too late to choose a competitor in town. So it was rather hard to enjoy a historical tour of the area without comprehending what was being shared over a loudspeaker. The route itself was ok – the scenery on the boat was nice but was underscored by vast amounts of garbage floating on the surface. I'm not sure if it's the tour operator or government is at fault, but it definitely detracted, especially given the focus on Mayan / natural history. Giving it 2 stars for the views which were very nice on the boat ride, but beyond that, the tour could be greatly improved in many respects.
