Beautiful Sumidero Canyon

In general, up to this moment, practically everything has gone well: 24-hour service, they notify us in advance about the next day's tour with suggestions on what to bring, and the service from the drivers who have taken us around. My observation on what they can improve is that at the Hotel La Antigua, the girls in the restaurant could be more organized for breakfast; the seasoning is good, but they are a bit disorganized, meaning they don't serve in order or they leave one table half-finished and serve another, and the problem is that then one ends up rushing because the tours start, so some get annoyed and others of us half-eat breakfast and leave because otherwise we delay everything, but in general it has been worth it, plus the places in Chiapas are beautiful 😍😍

Trip to Sumidero Canyon.

The journey was very good, with a certain number of curves on the road; I recommend bringing sunscreen or cool clothing that covers the skin since there are moments where you are exposed to the sun continuously, as well as drinks. The views are incredible, whether from the viewpoints or the boats. The boat trip was very cool; it lasts about 2 hours. For the hats you wear, I recommend that they have a strap to hold them on (it can fly off when the boat accelerates); there are moments of shade, and you can see crocodiles, birds, and spider monkeys. The drivers are also the tour guides themselves and share many facts about Sumidero Canyon. It is a calm and entertaining ride.

Operator response

They never leave you alone.

Excellent service, very safe, constant communication before, during, and after regarding each of the points to visit. We had an unexpected issue and they resolved it instantly, sending a guide to assist us personally at each of the points to visit throughout the day. That detail makes me trust them absolutely to contact them again in the future.
