Description

Explore Sumidero Canyon and craft traditional Pozol de Cacao with a local expert on this immersive cultural tour.
Begin your adventure with a breathtaking boat tour through the majestic Sumidero Canyon, where you'll marvel at towering cliffs and lush scenery. This iconic natural wonder of Chiapas sets the perfect tone for your day of exploration and cultural immersion.

Next, visit a unique, single-employee business where the owner single-handedly crafts traditional Pozol de Cacao, a beloved Mexican beverage from the southern states of Chiapas and Tabasco. Made from corn dough (masa), cacao, and a touch of Chiapanecan sugar, Pozol de Cacao is known for its refreshing qualities, especially in hot climates.

During your visit, you'll have the opportunity to assist in the artisanal process of creating Pozol de Cacao. This hands-on experience provides insight into the traditional craft and allows you to enjoy a homemade Pozol break. Following this, accompany the owner to sell her products in the charming, non-touristic town of Chicoasen, near the Chicoasen Hydroelectric Dam.

The tour concludes with a scenic drive back to San Cristobal de las Casas, offering a peaceful end to a day rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage.
