Sumidero Canyon, Natural canyon in Chiapas, Mexico
The Grijalva River flows through vertical limestone walls reaching heights of 1000 meters, creating a 13-kilometer passage within Sumidero Canyon National Park.
The geological formation of Sumidero Canyon began approximately 35 million years ago through tectonic movements and continuous erosion by the Grijalva River.
The Cueva de Colores within the canyon holds a statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe, drawing local pilgrims each December for religious ceremonies.
Boat tours depart from Chiapa de Corzo during daylight hours, requiring visitors to bring water, sunscreen, and cash for entrance fees.
The Christmas Tree formation displays a natural pattern created by water trickling down moss-covered rocks on the canyon walls.
