Chiapas offers some of the most breathtaking natural wonders in the world. It's Mexico's
southernmost state and also home to Mexico's largest population of indigenous people.
it's one of the only places in the world where you can visit ancient ruins in the jungle
and a colonial charming town with delicious cuisine all within the same day
so this is the bus that we're taking it's basically a private tour we're going all
around some of the famous sites here
we're in Chiapas and we are about to see the canyon.
we embark on a speedboat that takes us on one of the most
thrilling rides of the majestic Cañón del Sumidero.
Upon entering the canyon we were awestruck at how it was completely covered in jungle-like
vegetation as our boat sped up we kept on the lookout for this area's numerous species of
wildlife.
After getting an up-close view of the river crocodile
we continue through the narrow passageway of the canyon
the walls get higher and higher eventually reaching the height of a thousand meters.
being in the canyon felt as if we'd stepped back in time to a prehistoric era
there was nothing from modern-day in sight just dense rainforest
and dramatic granite cliffs which make the loudest canyon echo
This is on the flag of Chiapas the symbol of these three walls right here
if you like these views as much as we do hit the thumbs up button down below
suddenly we spot something moving in the forest and slow down to get a closer look
there's a monkey in the tree there's another tree oh my god
we spot a spider monkey swinging from branch to branch trying to grab our attention
and then just like that, it was snack time.
the spider monkey was dangling from the tree by its tail which is longer than its entire body
it was truly amazing to see this endangered species up close in its natural environment
what's in there? bats. It's a bat house
during the ride we noticed numerous birds that seemed to just float through the misty canyon
birds are the most common type of animal in the park with about 195 species documented
and after grabbing a snack and some micheladas it is time for us to say goodbye to the canyon

Sumidero. It was so amazing it was one of the coolest canyons I've ever seen just these sheer cliffs in
