Chiapa de Corzo

A few kilometers from Tuxtla Gutierrez, this geological fault formed millions of years ago is one of the most spectacular works of nature. Its walls reach almost the thousand meters of height, and in them there are caves and waterfalls. There are also monkeys, birds and even crocodiles. You can travel the canyon by boat or, if you prefer solid floor, there are several viewpoints with facilities to camp or spend a picnic. If you like rappel practice you can hire the services of an operator, to descend the walls of the canyon.

Considered one of the most important monuments of America, is the only Mudejar style brick made statewide. It was built in the sixteenth century by the Spaniards with the aim that people gather in one place for water. This monumental fountain appears to be unique in Latin America. Muslim art meets a Renaissance-inspired dome and a Gothic structure.
