Sumidero Canyon National Park ligger mellan Tuxtla Gutiérrez och Chiapa de Corzo och besöks vanligtvis med båt från Chiapa de Corzo för cirka 160 pesos per person.
The easiest way to explore Sumidero Canyon National Park is on a guided tour. If you prefer to get there on your own, you can drive, or take a bus or group taxi (colectivo). Frequent tours, buses, and colectivos depart both San Cristóbal de las Casas and Tuxtla Gutiérrez for Chiapa de Corzo.
The canyon is open year-round, but rainy days (Chiapas’ wet season is July through October) can make for an unpleasant ride on the uncovered speedboat. To beat the crowds, get to the docks early in the day.
Boat tours of Sumidero Canyon start in historic Chiapa de Corzo, which has been designated a “magic town” and often hosts special events. Most tours to Sumidero Canyon include free time after the boat ride to experience the village’s dynamic culture. Grab lunch at one of the many food stalls or restaurants, and pick up souvenirs from the craft stands along the cobblestone streets.
