Sima de las Cotorras & El Aguacero Waterfall Tour

At 4 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in San Cristóbal de las Casas and head west to discover the Sima de las Cotorras and El Aguacero Waterfall.

After a two and a half hour drive, we'll arrive at the Sima de las Cotorras, a 140-meter deep karst chasm. We'll enter the viewpoint and walk around part of the perimeter to admire the cave paintings, trees up to 30 meters high, and unique species of tropical forest. Keep your eyes peeled for parrots, known for their unique circular flight pattern!

Next, we'll head to the El Ocote Biosphere Reserve, where we'll take a short hike through the jungle. During the trek, we'll descend 740 steps with views of the La Venta River and caves. At the bottom, we'll enter the river to approach the El Aguacero Waterfall, a 75-meter high waterfall where you can enjoy a refreshing dip!

Afterwards, we'll return, stopping in Tuxtla Gutierrez for lunch, and finally drop you off at your hotel in San Cristóbal de las Casas between 5 pm and 6 pm.
