Tuxla

1.       After our time at the seaside we headed to Chiapas. Its state situated in the south of Mexico, pretty close to the Guatemalan border. It is said, the Chiapas used to be a part of Guatemala and kind of resamble Guatemala. It is also said that Chiapas is the poorest state of Mexico with the biggest percentage of indigenous population.

After looong way by hitchihiking (main road in Mexico are excellent by the way) we came to Chiapas’ capital – Tuxla Guiteierezz. After night spending with two guys who gave us a lift and huge dog in their minibus we headed Chiapa de Corzo, and very closely situated huge canyon called Sumidero. Unfortunetelly the only way to see the canyon was to buy a tour with bunch of people, and see it from the river (its impossible to see it from the land, unless you don’t have rented car, cause walls of the canyon are almost 1km high). The canyon itself was really impressive, extremely high, we could also have seen the alligators laying around. It wasn’t so spectacular as in the rain season, but you cant have everything...it didn’t rain, so its fine ;).
