Overview

The town of Chiapa de Corzo is much more than a jetty to take the boat to the Cañon del Sumidero! This town has history and tradition from pre-Hispanic times that its people proudly celebrate every year during the two weeks of JANUARY: the Fiesta Grande. The Parachico dance has been designated an Intangible CULTURAL HERITAGE by UNESCO since 2009. We will start with a tour on the BOAT (2.5 hours NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE) through the Sumidero Canyon. We invite you on a tour all year round to learn about the history of the Parachicos and legends, to visit traditional houses and the ARTISANS who work to prepare the Fiesta Grande. We are going to savor local dishes such as pepita con tasajo and pozol which have their origin in pre-Hispanic times!

Incredible food, place, and people

Published on May, 2024

What a wonderful day we had, swimming in the river, watching a professional chef do his thing, and enjoying what we created. This was a gastronomical experience I certainly won’t forget! The river was beautiful, relaxing, and not touristed. Of course the food was incredible, but so was being able to actually see it being made, and to hang out the group. What an enjoyable day I’ll be reminiscing about for a long time.

Great and personal experience .

Published on Mar, 2024

We had a great time with Rudy visiting Cañon Del Sumidero and Chapa De Corso. He had a great local knowledge as he grew up in the area, and he has a long experience in tourism. The experience was very personal, and Rudy followed our pace, which was really nice. I would highly recommend this tour. In addition I suggest booking multiple tours with him given his big knowledge.

Amazing day with an amazing guide

Published on Mar, 2024

Rudy was an amazing guide the entire day. He had a lot of local knowledge and was very friendly and outgoing. We really enjoyed our small group of three people, which made the tour very relaxed and pleasant. 10/10 recommendation!

Great experience

Published on Feb, 2024

We recently visited Chiapas Mexico, more specifically the area of San Cristobal de las Casas. While visiting we had the pleasure of taking a personal guided tour by Rudy. I can say without hesitation it was an experience of a lifetime, from start to finish. Rudy Exceeded all our expectations turning a memorable trip into an extraordinary adventure. Rudy’s passion for the destinations we visited, as well his personal relationships with many of the community members helped create a perspective visitors rarely get to experience. His extensive knowledge of the area including historical information made every stop on the tour come to life. The fascinating stories and historical facts were an experience like no other. If you are looking for an unforgettable travel experience and not just a copy and paste tour look no further. Our journey was nothing short of magical and we whole heartedly recommend Rudy

Wonderful 2 days in Chiapas!

Published on Jul, 2021

We spent 2 days with Rudy exploring Sumidero Canyon and the villages of Chamula and Zinacantan. Rudy was very laid back and amenable to our needs. We explored a side of Sumidero Canyon few visitors get to see, are delicious food in Chiapa de Corzo and were able to explore several textile workshops in the Indigenous villages. At every point during our tours we were given flexibility to move at our own pace and Rudy was available to answer our questions. Setting up the tours were also a breeze. Monika, Rudy’s wife was very easy to communicate with , and was quick to answer our questions about the tours. We will leave Chiapas with a much greater understanding of its culture, gastronomy and history thanks to Experiencias Chiapas.
