It honestly felt like I was in Jurassic park with the 1000m high rock walls surrounding us, the pelicans and other species of birds flying over and the crocodiles basking in the sun. Although as far as I know, as opposed to Jurassic park, humans are not at risk as every year there is a major international open water competition where swimmers from all over the world swim through the canyon and there have never been incidents of the crocodiles attacking the swimmers. This beautiful canyon is only 1h30 or so from San Cristobal de Las Casas it's definitely worth a visit. Impressive figure: apprently every year they need to clean about 3000 tons of waste that accumulate in the canon due to its location downstream from many big cities.
