We loved it! Awe inspiring views and the wildlife viewing was fantastic. Our driver and guide were also excellent. We weren't staying in the same area as the other guests and our guide made sure we had transport to get home safe. The service was above and beyond!

I recently returned from a week at a Spanish Language school in this town near the Guatemalan border. I stayed in the private house of a woman recommended by the school, Instituto Jovel, which I also recommend. Flory Burguete owns a four bedroom home in the middle of town, about a three block walk from the school. You do not need to be attending the school to stay with her. You can book directly through her. You can pay her to prepare meals if you wish. I did and was very happy with her cooking. She intentionally prepares meals well known in the area. She does not speak English but is very quick with her translation app. She is a delightful, helpful woman and added so much to my time in San Cristóbal. The home itself is authentically local, has two separate toilets and a separate shower. The yard is a lovely garden. The altitude in the city is 7,000 feet so the temperature is usually cool. If you're going to that area, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a stay with her. Cell: +52 967 169-1002. Email: lacasadeflorsc@gmail.com or maryfloryballinasruis@gmail.com

We prepaid for our trip online at TripAdvisor. But we were never picked up! The local office said we would be reimbursed.

Be careful when booking with this company. I booked the English tour with included dinner and got a fully Spanish tour without dinner. When I complained I got no explanation and only a partial refund of 23 dollars, which is basically just the price difference to the Spanish tour. I obviously didn't understand a single word during the whole tour and had problems communicating about time schedules and pickup times with the drivers. The whole experience was unpleasant. Would not recommend this company.

Sumidero Canyon itself is quite nice. My review is specifically in regards to the tour operator Ecoexperiences. This company advertises, and charges more for, a tour with an English speaking guide and a buffet meal. Neither of those things were provided on my tour, yet the fee remained significantly higher than the normal cost. Trying to get an adjustment from them has resulted in one lie in which they stated they would make an unspecified adjustment that never transpired. My advice, shop price only, the added value features are a scam. You will find I am not the only reviewer here with similar experiences.

We recommend 100% the Lacandona Rafting experience. Alejandro was our fun, acknowledgeable and experienced guide for the day. We had a misunderstanding regarding lunch which was nicely solved by Ecotours. There is approximately 3.5 hours between the activity and the pick up time which can be used to visit Bonampak. We suggest organising this with the agency in advance.

Beautiful waterfalls! Not too far from Palenque and not overly crowded. Several tour companies at the bus terminal run tours for 300 pesos a person.

My companion was extremely ill with a shattered hip and let someone stay in his room for the night because he's kind and always supports those who have nothing. Unfortunately this person turned out to have a drug addiction and a major bipolar disorder and ended up destroying part of the hotels furniture. Robert, whose name was the reservation was in, could do nothing about this man he couldn't even get out of bed to see what was happening with this crazy person he had let stay in his room. As they were taking Robert to the emergency room, and we were trying to remove his belongings from his room, the hotel would not let us take his things unless I gave them something in return which I did I gave them my $800 phone. Now they will not give it back and are claiming damages from this couch which was worth maybe $50 saying it was apraised is over 2,000! What kind of establishment does this to a man who was nothing but kind, had nothing to do with the damage done to the silly old couch worth probably nothing, and the police have the guy's name and the incident on record of who did actually damage the property yet they're still holding robert, who is still in the hospital, accountable for it. I want my phone back for I had nothing to do with this and was not a guest in the hostel to begin with. I would never stay here again for they will steal your possessions and then claim you owe them thousands of more money than you do! This is the worst place you could ever stay! I'm bringing a lawsuit up against them to get my phone back and taking the police there as well. Don't make a reservation because it'll probably be shut down by the time you get there.

This experience takes you approximately 30km through the entire canyon from Lake Chicoasén to the dock at Chiapas de Corzo. The tour guide was well-informed and you get to see the towering canon walls, wildlife (birds, crocodiles, monkeys!). I would highly recommend this for anyone who's interested in experiencing Mexico's natural beauty.

Worth every penny. One of the most beautiful trips I’ve ever taken, and if you are going to see Mexico, this is the way to do it. Oh and be sure to bring your swim trunks!

Just breathtaking. I wish I could stop it there but I cannot. You will see crocodiles and spider monkeys. The mountains are unbelievable high and you navigate it on high speed. Prepare a drink and food as you will not get it and sit down for 2 hours at least. But t is worth it

The guide, Jaïr, was awesome, the tour was amazing too! Really recommend. Great service, great care.

Long bumpy drive but unique site if you are into Mayan archeology and related history. The tour provider contracted with an excellent local guide, ‘Mech.’ His explanations of the site’s history and the culture of the city’s inhabitants made the visit worthwhile.

A nice, short, outing to two different Tzotzil villages. Our visit to Zinacantan happened to correspond to the Festival of San Sebastian, so the streets were crowded with local people wearing traditional special occasion clothing characteristic of that village. Our driver, Francisco, was not an official guide but was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He speaks Spanish and Tzotzil but not English. By coincidence he was also our driver from the Tuxtla airport to San Cristobal. Shuttle van was new and comfortable, with just 5 people in the group.

My daughter and I took this trip together. We went in December and that was a great time to go. The canyon tour started with viewing from above. Then we drove down to the bottom where we went on the boat tour. We both thought is was beautiful and very informative. It is a long day but we’ll worth it.
