Canyon del Sumidero

Besides all the advertisements about the Canyon del Sumidero, I recently had a friend go and it looked amazing. Her pictures had not only boasted a gorgeous boat ride through a canyon but lot’s of wildlife. So given the chance of a weekend off, I started my research and planned a trip to Tuxtla, Chiapas, […]

Lagos de Colon

The Colonial lakes are located 73 kilometers from Comitán in the small town of Cristóbal Colón. This area known as the municipality of La Trinitaria is not only warmer, but increasingly scenic as you continue towards Guatemala. The lakes are composed of the Lagartero river and provide 44 very different pools from clear to bright […]

Agua Azules, Palenque.

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog your probably laughing. Yes, but once again, I have visited the blue water. However back in the States isn’t there three Deer Park’s in Wa? The waters blue, lets keep it simple. I think most people who visit Chiapas, Mexico try to hit up Agua Azules. It […]

The Misol-ha Waterfall.

Though not well-preserved and with various replicas the ruins were massively awe-inspiring. From Comitan we took a collectivo to San Cristobal the cost was 70 pesos or $4 usd. Then boarded the night bus […]

El Arcotete

Plans change, and for those of you that know me well, know how flexible I am. Of course when looking into going to San Cristobal I had researched lot’s of things, so I had a mixed bag swimming in my head when we left the first set of caves. El Arcotete is literally a couple […]

Grutas del Mamut

The caves of the Mammoth, was like a step back in time. Besides the welcoming cool air the cavern was the biggest I have ever seen. Caving in Mexico is definitely different from in the states as the safety standards are not the same. However walking on slippery dim-lit paths where holes and gaps may […]

Tenam Puente

Tenam Puente is a Mayan ruin very close to Comitan. Though the ruin itself dates to the classical era 300ad to 600ad, the place was more inhabited during the early post classic time frame 900ad to 1200ad. So far in Mexico and Central America I have been to four different mayan ruins. To get to […]
