Your Travel Experience with Bamba
Be ready in your accommodations to be picked up to start a marvelous journey to Chiapa de Corzo.
After being picked up from your lodging, we reach our first destination and are astounded by this natural canyon.
Kick off your adventure with a breathtaking boat ride along the majestic Sumidero Canyon. Departing from a tranquil jetty away from the crowds, glide between towering cliffs, admire dramatic rock formations, spot wildlife, and soak up epic views that capture Mexico’s wild beauty.
Next, step into the vibrant heart of Chiapa de Corzo:
- Uncover Parachico Legends Discover the stories of the Parachicos, legendary masked dancers recognized by UNESCO for their unique tradition. Wander through the colorful streets, listening to local tales that bring the Fiesta Grande to life.
- Architectural Gems and Artistry Visit the historic Santo Domingo church and climb its bell tower for panoramic town views. Explore the ex-convent and lose yourself in the lacquer museum, where intricate local crafts come to life.
- Meet the Artists & Guardians Depending on local availability and your interests, visit the home of the prioste (spiritual leader), the Chunta’s house, or a mask carver’s workshop, each offering an authentic look into the community’s rich traditions.
Conclude your day with a taste of the region’s ancient recipes. Savor pozole or pepita con tajajo, or try a refreshing cup of pozol. Experience Chiapa de Corzo’s food culture at a local eatery or with homemade snacks shared by artisans.
After admiring the Sumidero Canyon and spending a lovely day in Chiapa de Corzo, it's time to return to our lodging.
