Rancho Nuevo & El Arcotete Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in San Cristóbal de las Casas at your chosen time and set off on our tour of the Rancho Nuevo Ecopark and El Arcotete.

In 20 minutes, we will arrive at the Rancho Nuevo Ecotourism Park, where you'll enjoy views of conifer-lined trails. During our tour, we will visit caves discovered in 1547, which have a gallery extending more than 10 kilometres underground, full of stalactites and stalagmites. A 750-metre long walkway will allow us to learn about the origins of this rock formation.

After exploring the caves, there will be 40 minutes of free time to see more of the area at your leisure. Following this, we will head to the El Arcotete Ecotourism Park, characterized by its pines, cypresses, and oaks.

Here, we will discover the 50-metre-high limestone arch over the Fogótico River, a natural wonder. If you look closely, you can spot caves above the arch and admire their unique shapes.

At the end of the four-hour tour, we will return you to your hotel in San Cristóbal de las Casas.
