“An incredible valley, got to see monkeys and crocodiles!”
Full-day Chiapas tour from San Cristóbal to Agua Azul, Misol Ha, and Palenque, with included entrances, long drives, and big views.
“I really recommend this trip, particularly if you just do one way and stay in Palenque (easy to get buses on)! Its definitely long and windy but you get to see so so so much of the stunning Chiapas region in short span of time. The sights are all incredible - swims and then the ruins. I don't speak Spanish and was worried about having Spanish only driver, but I was totally fine, we worked it out easily. The driver is really just that, he isn't a guide, so can work out meet times etc. I really recommend getting the guide at the ruins. Its pricey but we split it…”
Guided day trip from San Cristóbal to San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán, with Tzotzil artisans, looms, pox, and tortilla tastings.

Shared day trip from San Cristóbal to Sumidero Canyon, with viewpoints, a 90-minute boat ride, and Chiapa de Corzo time.
“Bellissima e spettacolare la traversata nel canyon in barca. Assolutamente imperdibile se ci si trova nel Chiapas. Con il senno di poi invece eviterei le 4 ore in bus per vedere i due mirador.”
Boat through Sumidero Canyon for wildlife views, then Chiapa de Corzo crafts, from San Cristóbal with a full 9-hour day.
San Cristóbal day trip to Agua Azul, Misol-Ha, and Palenque ruins. Turquoise waterfalls, mist, jungle temples, long but worth it.
“It’s a 5+ hours in a van that wasn’t comfortable. We were unlucky with our group, but that is not company’s fault. The Spanish speakers in the group were deciding everything on their own with consulting the rest of the group.”
See Sumidero Canyon from panoramic miradores and by boat, then stop in Chiapa de Corzo for views, crafts, and a church visit.
“I do not recommend this tour, do not book with them. You have to go to their location to pick up a “ticket.” I went and there was no actual ticket to pick up so this process makes no sense. Upon arrival i gave the tour operator my airbnb address which was a 3 min drive or 13 min walk to their location but the operator said it was too far and they could not pick me up. My place is literally walking distance from here so that does not make any sense. I was also booked a Spanish only speaking tour even though the operator knew that I did…”
A long day from San Cristóbal to El Chiflón waterfalls and the turquoise Lagunas de Montebello, including border views and park fees.
“esta muy bien , el camino es largo , pero creo que 4-5 lagos no son tan suficientes , subirle un poco el precio por visitar más lagos y a lo mejor llegar una hora más tarde no tendría ninguna queja”
Full-day trip from San Cristóbal to Sumidero Canyon by boat and Chiapa de Corzo, with hotel pickup, viewpoints, and culture.
“We made this tour as 4 people with Gonzalo on March 24, 2025. I travel a lot and this tour was the worst experience I ever had. The tour supposed to start at 9 am, but nobody showed up. After trying to contact them and GYG for 45 minutes, tour provider and GYG solved the issue and agreed to take us at 10 am, 1 hour later than usual. Our “tour guide” was not an actual guide but a person who knew the area. He didn’t speak English, although we HAVE paid for an English tour. We arrived to the port for the boats for Sumidero Canyon. A group left…”
Boat ride through Sumidero Canyon and time in Chiapa de Corzo, with miradors and colonial San Cristóbal, 9 hours, $56.
“Le canyon est vraiment magnifique, surtout vu du bateau. Les promontoires sont sympas mais pas exceptionnels, sachant que cela augmente énormément la durée de transport (trop longue du coup) Par contre la sortie bateau est vraiment top, avec de bonnes explications du capitaine. Nous avons pu voir oiseaux, singes et crocodiles dans un décor somptueux. L’arrêt à Chiapa de Corzo vaut le détour. Dommage que l’horaire de retour n’ait pas été respecté”
A full 13-hour San Cristobal day trip to Cascadas de Chiflón and Lagunas de Montebello, with park entry, transport, and swim time.
“El transporte es bueno, el tour bastante atropellado y la elección de tiempos horrible, pues son muchos lugares donde no hay realmente mucho por hacer y en los que si, no tienes tiempo de hacer mucho. No hay guía, sólo el conductor que te dice someramente a donde llegas y que se puede encontrar. Puntualidad aceptable y buena limpieza.”
San Cristóbal day trip to Sumidero Canyon viewpoints plus a Grijalva River long-tail boat ride, then free time in Chiapa de Corzo.
“It was amazing! I recommend it to everyone. We were lucky and saw a lot of animals: crocodiles, monkeys, many different types of birds.”

18-hour tour from San Cristóbal to Agua Azul, Misol-ha, and Palenque with swim time, museum access, and tickets included for $102.
“everything went just as planned. the driver was very kind and informative. we felt very safe, even if the road circumstances were sometimes challenging. attention: it is very curvy road with at least a million of speedbumps, so take medication, if you are sensitive. we were happy to take this trip only one way - as a transfer to Palenque, otherwise it is an extremely long and tiring day.”
A full-day trip from San Cristóbal to Sumidero Canyon by boat, plus Chiapa de Corzo’s pre-Columbian site, with mountain views and wildlife.
“El guía excelente muy atento nos gusto muchísimo el cañón y el capitán también Muy agradable y no nos molesto darle propina al contrario hacen su esfuerzo y como para no darle propina y chapa de corzo bien buenos precios”
Pick the day out first, then the town it happens in.
