What people are saying about Central Mexico

We kwamen sochtends toe aan het ado station ipv de luchthaven maar dit was geen enkel probleem en we werden daar mooi op tijd opgehaald door een enthousiaste chaufeur Saoul. Hij sprak enkel spaans maar kon vertalen met z’n telefoon. De tocht door Sumidero was prachtig, en Saoul maakte duidelijke afspraken met ons over het trefpunt in Chiapa de Corzo, waar hij ook stipt op tijd verscheen. We zouden dit iedereen aanraden!

Great day out from Tuxtla. Managed to see a family of spider monkeys and baby croc. Not many croc today because it was a bit cooler. But that didn’t matter because the scenery was the star of the show. Great to have an English translator for the tour. We even managed a ride to San Cristobal de las Casas at the end of the day with one of the other groups.

Splendid site, good organization and good atmosphere Friendly but unqualified guide /fauna and flora Meal at the landing stage in a boui boui filled to bursting with rather mediocre buffet-type food (but it was possible to eat elsewhere)

Highly recommended experience, very friendly driver and very nice visits. Recommend bringing water, hat and sunscreen.

Great activity. Amazing Canyon and great vibe from the professionals. Very nice!
