Wasn't available in English but but Spanish wasn't needed, except understanding a clock.
It's a long ride from San Cris but that should be obvious.
Chiflon:
I loved the hike up to the waterfall and I cant describe how good the mist felt.
The outside temp + the wind + the mist from the falls = The best feeling ever
It is a lot of steps to the top. Not brutal, but not easy. Plenty of benches on the way to stop and break if needed.
Montebello;
Ehhh....
It's cool. Very pretty....
It's at the border and stop at a place with a cool view and can get a decent lunch.
You also get a chance to walk to Guatemala. Nothing special but its neat.
The only issue I had was the island you see in all the pics.
You can go there, and to me it's worth it......but you gotta pay an extra 200 pesos for a boat ride. A boat trip you probably arent used to (not gonna spoil it)
But you can take a swim on the island if you want, I did. they got changing rooms if you're shy.
Final thought: To me, the trip was worth the money. 350 pesos,. I get other expenses happen on a tour, but was pretty annoyed that I had to pay another 200 pesos for a .5 KM boat ride that required me to paddle.
