At the waterfalls of Agua Azul (cascadas de Agua Azul), we can observe the different colors in the water ranging from green to sky blue water. The river has been formed by the river spills from the highlands of Chiapas.
The Montebello Lakes (Lagos de Montebello). Although the lakes are situated in the mountain region of Chiapas, these lakes were formed in cenote style; underground rivers from which the roofs have collapsed. The variety of organic matter gives different shades to the water.

 

The Sumidero Canyon (Cañón del Sumidero) is traveled by boat and during the transfer one can admire crocodiles, spider monkeys and birds. It is said that the indigenous people of Chiapas refused to convert to the Catholic religion when the Spaniards arrived, while defending their lands and properties they were cornered at the top of the mountains that overlook the canyon, which have a height of 800 to 1000 meters. They preferred to die jumping in the rushing river, than remain subject to the conquerors.
San Cristobal de las Casas is a town that preserves its colonial houses and buildings from the porphyritic phase of the early twentieth century. The peculiar urban physiognomy of this place is given by typical houses of white walls with “guardapolvos” of rust color, wide rooftops and portals and balconies. The city’s cathedral dates of the XVI century, is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and is part of the former convent of Santo Domingo, it has baroque ornaments and the altarpieces are covered with gold foil.
The nearby villages of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán are inhabited by Tzeltal Indians who still preserve the indigenous traditions and clothing. The church of San Juan Chamula has no priest serving mass, instead an autonomous religion has been developed where offers are being placed to the Virgin Mary, Christ and the saints San Juan and Santiago.
