Sumidero Canyon Essentials

Sumidero Canyon is a massive geological rift in Chiapas carved by the Grijalva River, with vertical limestone walls reaching heights of up to 1,000 meters. This collection features the primary land-based viewpoints along the canyon's rim and essential river-level landmarks accessible by boat. Highlights include the moss-covered 'Christmas Tree' rock formation, mineral-stained caves, and the Chicoasén Dam, one of Mexico's largest hydroelectric projects.
