Focus on: Canyon de Sumidero, gem of Chiapas

Cañón del Sumidero is an extremely beautiful place. Most people think the boat tour is the only thing worth doing, but surprisingly, there’s a lot more to explore. If you have a car, then take a winding road that goes up to a few viewpoints, and they offer some of the most gorgeous views of the canyon. I loved the drive up, and each viewpoint had a different angle of the canyon, making it feel like I was seeing something new at every stop. The views were absolutely breathtaking—huge cliffs, lush greenery, and the river winding below. Just a few more cars were there, so it was not crowded at all. A tip: there are no stores up the hill, so buy water and snacks before you start this drive up. #nationalparks #mexico #chiapas
