Cañón del Sumidero

An hour away from San Cristóbal, my Kiwi buddy, Simon, and I took a two hour long boat tour of Cañón del Sumidero. Upon first entering the canyon, I realized I had more than had my money's worth. While the lake we were on was the result of a dam, I guess the positive of this is that the water provides electricity for the entire state of Chiapas.

With cliffs towering around 1000 meters, Sumidero Canyon reminded me very much of what Yosemite would have looked like with a lake.

Waterfall but it's the dry season, so no water


Reminded me of El Capitan
