Mexico · SAN CRISTOBAL & SUMIDERO CANYON
24 tours
High season fills these fast and the early departures go first. The 15 below are the ones to look at, with current prices and what makes each one different.
Ride a semi-automatic Honda 420 on a custom 25 km Cabo route, with hotel pickup, snacks, and a hunt for the second arch.
“Great experience!! Really recommend when visiting Cabo San Luca and want this experience. Great ATV, great tour guide Pablo and lastly great RIDE !”
San Cristóbal day trip to Sumidero Canyon and Chiapa de Corzo, with miradores and a shared boat ride to spot crocodiles and more.
“The boat ride was amazing. We had a very good guide who stopped and pointed out all kinds of details in perfect weather. Organization was smooth, and our driver/guide was friendly and helpful too. Personally though, the trip to the viewpoints wouldn't have been necessary. The amazing perspective is inside the canyon, and it's not that the viewpoints are on the way: They add about 2 hours pure driving to the trip, thereby making the first lunch opportunity more of a linner. We also didn't quite understand why we stopped at different hotels on the way out to pick up more guests, we only had the option of joining in…”
Guided day trip from San Cristóbal to Chamula and Zinacantán, with church rituals, waist-loom weaving, tortillas, and Pox tasting.
“Miguel spoke great English, he explained everything, which meant we understood everything we saw. I was expecting that the weaving shop in Zinacantán would be very touristy but it’s not. The women working there are genuinely happy. Chamula church was as different as a church can be. I liked the smell of pine leaves, the candles and seeing the genuine rituals taking place. All that, and more, was explained by Miguel. Good trip. Better to go with a guide and Miguel was excellent.”
Day trip from San Cristóbal to Agua Azul, Misol Ha, and Palenque ruins with AC transport and entrance fees included, meals extra.
“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…”
Horseback ride close to Cabo through beach, desert and hills, with history stories, a Second Arch photo stop, and food included.
“Jonathan was great with his service at the arc and horseback riding . Will return and will refer family and friends to. Thanks for your time”
Sumidero Canyon boat ride, Chiapa de Corzo village time, and Miradores viewpoints from Tuxtla, with a Spanish guide.
“Super visite juste assez longue sans se presser. Le canyon est vraiment incroyable!”
Shared day trip from San Cristóbal: Sumidero Canyon viewpoints, a 90-minute boat ride, then Chiapa de Corzo town time.
“La excursión está bien y se recomienda si estás varios días y tienes tiempo en San Cristóbal, ya que el paisaje es alucinante. Como punto de mejora/recomendación diría que estaría mejor empezar algo antes la actividad para así poder estar más tiempo en Chiapa de Corzo y comer tranquilamente. Importante llevar efectivo para las paradas y propinas.”
Boat through Sumidero Canyon’s wildlife, then tour Chiapa de Corzo for crafts and colonial charm, from San Cristobal, in 9 hours.
Small-group guided visit to Chamula and San Juan: church rituals, Day of the Dead traditions, textiles, and jaguar lore.
“Rudy with Experiensas Chiapas was very knowledgeable about the different indigenous villages…the culture, religion and form of government. A definite recommendation to family & friends and anyone wanting to explore in a more personal way, not a large group”
Day trip from San Cristobal to Agua Azul, Misol-Ha, and Palenque with air-con transport and park fees, ending in Palenque or home.
“This activity was amazing. We choose it as practical way to continue our trip from Palenque. Consider to wake up early and the time spent on the bus. Although it's a great chance to see a lot of small rural villages along the way. We had enough time to visit the places, only Palenque was a bit tight but doable. Our drive really made this activity exceptional. He was very kind, flexible, and really cared about the passengers, telling stories about Chiapas (in Spanish). I'd recommend it.”
See Miradores del Cañón del Sumidero, enjoy a 1.5-hour boat cruise, and spend time in Chiapa de Corzo on an 8-hour day trip.
“De bezochte plaatsen op zich waren geweldig! Prachtige watervallen, mooie ruines,... De organisatie ervan was een ramp, zeker als je niet vloeiend spaans spreekt... We werden als laatste opgepikt waardoor we op de achterbank moesten zitten terwijl alle anders passagiers een luxe stoel hadden die een heel stuk achteruit kon. We betaalden nochtans dezelfde prijs. Alle uitleg is in het spaans, op zich geen probleem, echter hoorde wij niets achteraan en moesten we telkens opnieuw vragen waar en hoe laat we terug moesten zijn. Bij Palenque liep het helemaal mis. Wij zaten mooi op tijd te wachten aan de uitgang (salida) van het park maar de bus stond te wachten…”
Ride the Grijalva River through Sumidero Canyon, then explore Chiapa de Corzo’s Pueblo Magico for a packed, scenic day.
“Was very sad to see such a stunning canyon, only to be covered in plastic bottles and trash. We even saw crocodiles swimming through the river or bottles. Was really sad. Apart from that, the tour guides were very nice.”
Chiflón waterfalls and Montebello lakes in one long eco day from San Cristóbal, including park fees and border views near Mexico and Guatemala.
“The tour was amazing! Gives an amazing experience seeing both el chiflon y Lagos de Montebello. Very long travel day but definitely worth it for the experience!”
Boat through Cañon del Sumidero plus two high miradores, then Chiapa de Corzo craft shopping on an easy San Cristóbal day trip.
“Beautiful views, fun boat ride, and a glimpse into Chiapas de Corzo. The guides are always kind and helpful :) great way to see new sights.”
Sumidero Canyon boat cruise and Chiapa de Corzo culture in one full day from San Cristóbal, with hotel pickup and transport.
“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…”
