Sumidero Canion Park
A park with a natural
calling
Discover, within the Ecotouristic Park Sumidero Canion, a
new dimension of this exceptional place. Explore its natural
setting and enjoy exciting outdoor activities in an atmosphere
of environmental awareness and cultural respect. Your journey
begins in Chiapa de Corzo, a charming colonial city at the
edge of the Grijalva River, where steps away from the old
Santo Domingo Convent, you'll encounter your point of departure
to this extraordinary adventure.
Your boat ride
will take you past magnificent views of the canyon and impressive
geological formations found in the cliffs and the river's
edges such as the Cave of Silence, The Cave of Colors, and
the stately Christmas Tree, among other attractions. The journey
culminates as the narrow canyon opens onto a sun-kissed valley
and magical waterfalls spring to form extensive green gorges.
Lying in the heart of this imposing scenery is the Ecotouristic
Park Cañón del Sumidero, ever respectful of
its environment, where, with all your senses, you'll enjoy
to the fullest this awesome place.
Discover your nature
The park is an immense botanical garden filled with welcoming
paths that invite you to know its flora: orchids, bromelias
and ceiba trees; and its native fauna: crocodiles, jaguars,
pumas, great curossaws, black spider monkeys, and wild boars,
among others.
Along the way you will see thousand-year-old fossils native
to the region. In the expansive aviary you'll be able to admire
the flight of hundreds of multicolored birds, singing their
melodic trills or squealing their sensual squawks.
Adventure
The park is also an exuberant jungle, with narrow paths that
lead to springs, streams and waterfalls, making it the ideal
place for a long walk or an exciting expedition on a mountain
bike. At the top of the gorge you will find the zip line station
from where you will be able to glide through the heights above
the tree tops or if you dare, rappel to special spots inaccessible
by any other means. Back in the lagoon, you'll be tempted
to cruise the waters in a comfortable and secure kayak to
reach other nearby destinations.
How
to get there.
You can make arrangements through your travel agent or you
can hire a taxi or take a bus which will take you to one of
the ports in Chiapa de Corzo. From there you will take a breath-taking
40 minute trip by boat to the Park.
Schedules
Park hours.
We are open 365 days a year from 9:30 am, the Park closing
varies according to the season.
