Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 8th Nov'09Sumidero Canyon (Spanish: Cañón del Sumidero) is a canyon located about 40 km from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, capital of the Mexican state of Chiapas. Its cliffs are 900 meters above sea level and overlook the Grijalva River, which extends across the states of Chiapas and Tabasco and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. In its southern entrance, the canyon begins near the city of Chiapa de Corzo, and flows into the reservoir of the hydroelectric dam–Manuel Moreno Torres, best known as Chicoasén.
This was one of the most amazing places I have seen in Mexico.The walls just tower upon you and make you feel so insignificant. It is a two hour trip by a motor boat which zips you through the river and leaves you spellbound. The past two or three posts on this blog are from the same place.
