00:19Sierra says
00:21We want to hug this family
00:24adores us
00:25and the sandwich
00:26And well friends
00:28our time has come
00:29to leave San Cristobal de las casas
00:32we do not want to leave
00:33but it can't be helped
00:34now we have to continue on our journey
00:37and a very sad goodbye trough all of us
00:39because we spent a month and ten days having a great time in the camping with all the travelers
00:45that were there and the farewell was very sad. We didn't always party but we worked together in the
00:52common area, we shared food, yogurt, drink, a billiard from time to time, coffee, so we
00:59knew that we were our neighbors and that there we were, they ended up becoming a family,
01:03even pirating through Mexico that was not always in the camping, but honestly everything became
01:08a family for us and we are going to miss them a lot, we are going with a lot of sadness, but
01:13no way, this is this life of travelers and we are going to follow it. And now we are going to a new destination,
01:19we are going to Tuxla Gutierrez to visit the Sumidero Canyon, so let's go. It is 60 kilometers
01:26that separate San Cristóbal de las Casas from the capital of Chiapas, which is Tuxla Gutiérrez,
01:30and it is not only those 60 kilometers of road, we also add the change in height since
01:36San Cristóbal is 2,200 meters above sea level and Tuxla Gutiérrez is only
01:41520 meters high. You start the way up the clouds with pine trees, cool and foggy,
01:47and you continue down to find a warm climate where you reach one of the
01:51most caudal rivers in Mexico where the Sumidero Canyon is located.
02:00We have already arrived in Tuxla, you can already feel the heat, Chinchulín is already hot, and the first thing we are going to do is go
02:11directly to the house where we are going to stay because today we are not going to stay on the street,
02:16or in a camping, or anything like that. Our friends Angie and Luis lent us a house. They are
02:22our followers on our channel and they said that we would gladly lend them a house in Tuxla Gutiérrez,
02:27so let's go there. We have already arrived at the house that Angie and Luis lent us. See how beautiful this
02:34courtyard is, full of plants, many colors, there are even banana plants there. Here is everything that
02:40is the house and Chinchulín is there, which is also the reason why we needed a house, it was
02:48for Chinchulín, because if we are going to visit the Sumidero Canyon, Chinchulín cannot go on the tour
02:54and we are going to have to leave it here alone. And what better place than this large courtyard full of plants
03:00to leave Chinchulín alone. So thank you very much Angie and Luis for lending us this beautiful
03:05house. And tomorrow very early we get up to go on tour. And well friends, we are already here
03:12ready to go, Nico already with his mates, I with my bag, we are already super ready, we already leave
03:19the provisions to Chinchulín, he already knows, he already intuits that he is going to stay, he is already half desperate there at the door, he knows that we are going to leave without him, but hey, no way, it's just a little while and we'll be back for him later.
03:31Look at him, there he is already very desperate, he already thinks he is going to leave, but no, my son, you stay here today, okay? Your job is going to be to protect the house, behave well.
03:49Well, we are already in Chiapa de Corzo and we are looking for our tour operator, they told us that on this little road next to the river and over there we are already seeing their boats, which are the blue boats, there are blue, red and green.
04:12They recommended us the blue ones and we have to wait for ten people to get together to be able to go on the tour. And the heat is felt, the heat is felt a lot. And from what I see, the boats have no roof, so if the rain catches us, we get wet and the sun is going to hit us hard for two hours that the tour takes.
04:34Hello, hello! Look, we had to get on the boat first. Are you excited? Yes, I am excited to see the false crocodiles. They told us that there are false crocodiles, we don't know.
04:50A lot of people complain that crocodiles are always seen in the same places and that they don't move, so a lot of people have said that they are false, but it is not true. But hey, we will finally get to see them and I don't know, let's see what else we get to see and how impressive the canyon is too, I am very excited to see it.
05:20There is the first crocodile, it is small, it is like the one who wanted to eat Chinchu.
05:45And if we are seeing if it is real or if it is a robot, but I don't think so. It was small, it was like it wanted to attack Chinchu.
05:59We are literally at the entrance of the canyon, very excited, the landscapes are wow, very good. Let's see how this continues.
06:29Look at this, how impressive. We are all open-mouthed above the boat.
06:52Well, now we are observing another crocodile, it is not seen much, it is more or less the same size as the other, there it is. And for now it is not seen if it is a lie or if it is real.
07:10And now we enter the imposing canyon, this cliff whose height goes beyond 1,000 meters over the Grijalva River, opened approximately 12 million years ago and in 1980, thanks to its great ecological wealth, it was declared a national park.
07:26On the way you can see the variation of microclimates in the area, above you can see pines and figs, on the soft slopes you can see ceibas and ocotes, and at the height of the river a medium-low jungle, where many species of monkeys and a wide variety of birds inhabit.
07:40Before the construction of the dam in 1980, it was impossible to navigate this river, causing many people to die trying.
07:48To continue through the canyon, we have to cross a wooden and garbage plug, which is supposedly done in the rainy season, and this is a two-day training, I don't know, because it is a lot, but hey, we have to cross it, it is like a river of garbage.
08:04Well, this canyon is horrible.
08:07Well, it's not that the garbage is from here, but this river is a very large one that comes from Guatemala, it comes from the Sierra de Guatemala, 4,000 meters high more or less, and look at this garbage plug that is from here.
08:23We are going to try to pass, see what this is, they are pure plastic bottles, always the same problem, and the instructor is telling us that we have to move a lot to get through here, so we are all moving.
08:50The boat had stopped due to so much garbage, and we thought we were not going to have to live here, but no, we can continue, we are almost finishing, it is only a piece, it will be 100, 200 meters, as the river stagnates here, so once we manage to pass it, we are already on the other side, only that on the way back we have to go through here again.
09:13There are the parks, they are putting together trunks and some things, but to clean all that, look back there, it is not for 5 people to do it.
09:25For big problems they need big strategies, big solutions, and here with 5 people on a boat it cannot be solved.
09:34Look, after going through all the garbage, what you have to do is, as he is doing, clean the motor blades well, because everything can get stuck and here we can stay.
09:43Music
09:55Once the garbage cap has passed, continue the tour of the majestic canyon until you reach a very peculiar cave.
10:03Well, in this cave there is like an honor to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and on December 12 they come to do pilgrimage here, and they bring flowers, lights and a little bit of things, and see the colors that are seen in the cave, they look like very strange red colors, it is very beautiful, and it is the first shadow we have received since we left.
10:26We continue the tour and we reach the famous waterfall of the Christmas tree, this natural jewel of which few speak has a height of more than 200 meters, an underground river is the one that feeds it.
10:41Over the years, this waterfall has accumulated a large amount of green moss below, which makes it look like a great Christmas tree, a unique spectacle, and passing under it is the greatest attraction, since they tell the stories that this water is miraculous and rejuvenates you for 10 years.
10:56Music
11:06After more than an hour of navigation, doing almost 30 kilometers on the boat, we reached the end of the tour, reaching the Chico Azén dam.
11:13This hydroelectric power plant is the highest in America and the sixth in the world, inaugurated in 1980 and with its 261 meters high, it is the dam that produces the most energy in Mexico, and also made this great river of the Sumidero Canyon navigable.
11:29And a curious fact is that for parts the depth of the river reaches 280 meters, it is very impressive.
11:36Music
12:06Here the house is fresh, delicious.
12:08Well, you can't imagine how hot it is and that's why we came, we already did the tour of the boat, very good, incredible, but we missed the tour of the viewpoints.
12:19With this bracelet that we have, we can enter the viewpoints for free, but it will be tomorrow because right now it is very hot and see the storm that is back there, it looks like a storm and it will probably start to rain, so stay tuned.
12:36So stay tuned tomorrow, visit the viewpoints.
12:39And apart today, today we are having a birthday party.
12:46The sun, the afternoons, with a lot of heat without ...
12:53My birthday gift was a sunny day, a walk through the Sumidero Canyon, and right now a well-deserved rest.
13:01The truth is that we would have loved to go out to celebrate, but ...
13:04There I am devastated.
13:06We are going through something that we will tell you later, besides that we are very sunny, tired, devastated, so we prefer to rest and do something here later, a delicious dinner and that's it.
13:19And tomorrow, the viewpoints.
13:20See, it was not a lie about the rain.
13:31Day 2
13:39Well friends, we are already here at the viewpoints.
13:43The mandatory tour, that is, once you come here to Tuxla, is the Sumidero Canyon and the tour of the viewpoints.
13:50When you pay for your tour of the canyon, they give you a bracelet of protected areas that lasts 24 hours and gives you access to the viewpoints.
13:58If you let those 24 hours pass, you take off your bracelet or I don't know, you don't bring a bracelet, they charge you 60 pesos to enter the viewpoints.
14:06There are 5 and well, here we are.
14:09And they don't accept pets either, so again we had to leave our dog alone.
14:15It is 17 kilometers to get to the last viewpoint, all uphill and well, let's see what we find.
14:22There are a lot of people who come walking, we saw a lot of people who came walking and Nico says, oh no, if it's walking, I'll go back.
14:29But no, you can do everything by car.
14:31Yes, it's all by car, all the viewpoints have direct access, tables, there is only one viewpoint where you have to walk 300 meters to get to the viewpoint, but the truth is that it looks good, everything looks very nice.
14:42And see the view there is for Tuxla.
14:52And we are going to go down to see how it looks, it looks very nice, we are very high, you can see the river down there.
15:09See the beautiful view from here.
15:16And think that yesterday we were down there on the boat.
15:19This is the entrance to the canyon, the canyon begins a little further there, but the view is already beautiful.
15:26Hey, I love this place because you really feel at peace, no matter how many people there are and everything.
15:31The sound is super peaceful.
15:33It's cool.
15:34You can see the canyon, there are a lot of birds flying here, butterflies.
15:39For me it's like, okay, if you visit the canyon, but you have to come to the viewpoints.
15:44I mean, it's the first one we've taken and it's beautiful.
15:47I wish I had brought things to eat here and be here for a long time, but we didn't come prepared.
15:52But hey, I loved it.
16:05Viewpoint, we finally arrived.
16:07And let's see the view.
16:10Wow!
16:14Wow!
16:15To think that this river is maybe like 200 meters wide.
16:20I mean, when we passed through the middle of the river, there were parts that were the narrowest were like 100 meters wide.
16:27But the river is sometimes up to 500 meters wide.
16:31Oh, from here it looks very small.
16:35Look how beautiful.
16:37And look at the amount of birds.
16:59Look, the camera is moving a lot, but there is a crocodile in the middle...
17:03In the middle of the river.
17:07Another crocodile.
17:09Did it get in? Look, it got in.
17:11There are two, there are two. Look, look, look.
17:13No, no, no, no.
17:15I can't hear, I can't see.
17:17They kind of fought.
17:19And well, we arrived at the third viewpoint, and this is the one we have to walk?
17:35About 300 meters to get to the viewpoint.
17:49Literally, this trail is very natural.
17:52The bugs are screaming more and more, what's wrong with them?
17:56And luckily for now there are not many descents or climbs.
18:00No, it's the only trail that is a bit complicated to access, but the truth is that the trail is quite easy.
18:05We saw that there were two, a bifurcation where there was this trail that is kind of stoned,
18:10and it said natural trail that looked very wild, so we decided to go for the stoned one.
18:16Yes, because it is wild, there must be a lot of mosquitos and everything.
18:19And we don't bring sneakers, we walk in crocs and flip-flops, so I don't think we were prepared for such a wild trail.
18:25No, apart from that, it was raining yesterday and there is all the mud.
18:29Apparently we have already arrived.
18:33Let's see, let's see how it is.
18:36Look how the clouds look.
18:47It is not the best view, but it is beautiful.
18:52Hey, they say that it is not the best view viewpoint, but I really like that we are here at the height of many clouds, so it looks beautiful.
19:00Look, there is one, there is another, here is another.
19:03It looks like steam, but it is really beautiful.
19:06Hey, they say that it is not the best view viewpoint, but I really like that we are here at the height of many clouds, so it looks beautiful.
19:11Look, there is one, there is another, here is another.
19:14It looks like steam, but it is really beautiful.
19:17And well, yes, it is true that it is not the best view of the canyon and the Urijalva river, but the truth is that it is very beautiful.
19:24It is worth walking, the little bit that you have to walk to get here.
19:36This is the fourth viewpoint, the Tepehuaje, and this is the one that is 1,000 meters above sea level.
19:50And it looks beautiful.
19:52The truth is that the third one was beautiful, but it was the one I liked the least.
19:56This was very cloudy.
19:57Yes, too.
19:58But let's see how lucky we are with this one, because it is the most promising.
20:021,000 meters high sounds good.
20:04It looks very good.
20:06Let's see, let's see, let's see.
20:08Let's see if ...
20:10Oh, how beautiful.
20:12Yes.
20:13Well, there is a very good view here, to the front, although you can't see anything over there.
20:19But as you go up, I think you can see it better.
20:21Let's see, let's see up here.
20:23If you go up a little bit, you already have a view to the right and to the left.
20:30Yes, it looks very nice.
20:32The amount of butterflies there are.
20:34There are more butterflies than in the monarch butterfly in Michoacán.
20:40And of all colors.
20:42Look, this one is very small, but it is very beautiful.
20:45There is one flying around.
20:47Look, here's another one.
20:49The truth is, the dimensions are very impressive.
20:52You see the mountain up here, this one, and you say, ah, it's just here, 100 meters, 200 meters.
20:58No.
20:59There must be like a kilometer of this mountain and the other, more or less.
21:03A kilometer forward, a kilometer down.
21:07The boats, there is a boat, you can't even see it.
21:10You can't even see the boat there.
21:13Literally, I mean, the dimensions of this place are very impressive.
21:20I think that jumping like this I throw it.
21:22Oh yes.
21:25No, the truth is, it does give vertigo.
21:27A nail of a thousand meters.
21:29No, no.
21:30No, it does give vertigo to be so high, but it looks beautiful, incredible.
21:35Yes.
21:36And well, it's time for the last viewpoint.
21:41Let's go.
21:42And the rooster is saying, enough with the viewpoints, enough.
21:45Leave me alone for a while here.
21:47And well, we are already in the last viewpoint, which is called the Los Chiapa viewpoint.
21:51And it is the last one, there are restaurants, bathrooms, viewpoint, games for children.
21:56Memories.
21:57Memories, it's like a point to rest for a while.
21:59But hey, what matters to us is the viewpoint.
22:02Let's go.
22:03And clearly it is the one that has the most people.
22:06I don't know, because all the other viewpoints we went to, most of them were alone.
22:10And here you can see many tour trucks.
22:13Here, to that side.
22:15And we affirm that you can come on a tour from Tuscla Gutiérrez.
22:19And therefore, I imagine that this must be the one with the best view.
22:23Or not?
22:24It's up there.
22:25In that tower that looks like a UFO up to the other.
22:30There is the wave to see.
22:32See what a beautiful view.
22:34It is very similar to the previous one.
22:36The previous one was just around here.
22:38I think it was.
22:40And you can see it.
22:41But here it looks more up and the river looks more complete.
22:43Yes, it looks more complete.
22:44It looks everywhere.
22:45And we are not only a thousand meters high.
22:47Remember that the depth of the river is terrible.
22:50Because when they made the Chicoasén dam, the level of the river went up almost 250 meters.
22:56The river down here can have 150 meters deep, 200 meters deep, 250 meters deep.
23:02The water level went up a lot because before this river it was not navigable.
23:06And now it is thanks to the dam.
23:08Before this river it was pure fast.
23:10It was fast, fast, fast until it reached the dam next door.
23:14But now you can navigate and everything.
23:17And the waters are calmer.
23:19That's why what we saw yesterday about the garbage that is all stuck in one place.
23:22Because the river does not run very fast through this area, through the dam.
23:26Here on the second floor of the viewpoint there is an exhibition where there are dissected animals.
23:32There is a bit of art, photos and more souvenirs.
23:37Well, we finished the tour of the viewpoints.
23:39I think it's time to go back, have breakfast and meet our dog again.
23:44Our dog would have been very happy here.
23:47We thought about it when we were on the path of the third viewpoint that we had to walk a lot.
23:52We imagined him running.
23:54Yes, he could have done all that running.
23:56But it is also a dangerous place for him because there are many animals, a lot of jungle and they are dangerous.
24:02These are his favorite places but we understand that he cannot be here.
24:05But well, we are leaving with him.
24:06Let's go to the reunion.
24:09We wanted to tell you that the tour is completely worth it.
24:13Whether it is the tour that goes by boat or going to the viewpoints, it is completely worth it.
24:18The boat tour is a very beautiful tour.
24:21Although it is a bit long, the truth is that I had tears at some point.
24:26Besides that it was my birthday, the beautiful landscapes, everything was very nice.
24:30We highly recommend it.
24:32Despite the problem of the garbage that you already saw, the problem of the tap, it is something that impacts a lot.
24:38But it is also good as a reminder that as human beings we have to produce less garbage.
24:44And be more aware of where to throw the garbage because the garbage has a place.
