Excellent customer service from start to finish. Bryan in the office was really helpful with our booking. We chose to leave from their office ( which gave us an extra half an hour for breakfast) on the day trip to the Sumidero Canyon and Chiapa de Corzo. The minibus driver, Miguel, was friendly, helpful and informative from the start. We drove to the departure point for the boats to the canyon. It's a two hour boat journey so it was pointed out that there was a loo ( 5 pesos) by the quay incase we needed it. We were all given life jackets and helped on board. The captain introduced himself, gave us a safety briefing and we set off. What an absolutely fantastic trip along the canyon. Within minutes we'd seen a couple of crocodiles basking in the sun on the shore, a female spider monkey and her babe jumping in the trees, Turkey Vultures, various heron species and cormorants. We got to spot faces in the rocks, learnt a little about the history of the place and shared the captain's enthusiasm for his canyon. When we reached the dam there was a little boat bar where we could by drinks and crisps. The boat then heads back to base at speed ( so be careful with those drinks) but not so fast that we didn't stop whenever we passed more crocodiles and monkeys. We then drove through the city of Tuxtla and up into the mountain to various miradors to see the canyon from above. Amazing views.
Then onto Chiapas de Corzo, colorful and bright and cheerful. You can get some lunch here or mooch around the shops. Worth a little walk to the front of the church and then down to the waters edge. A very different laid back approach to shopping after San Cristobal, the stall/shop owners acknowledged my presence , told me to ask them if I needed any help and then let me browse. Back to the bus, back to San Cristobal , fabulous time, thoroughly recommend it.
