Bordered by two oceans and the Caribbean Sea, Mexico is reputed for its heavenly beaches. But that’s not all: more than half of the territory is situated above 5,000 feet in altitude and offers mountain landscapes to die for. To travel to Mexico is also to discover its northern deserts, covered in cacti, or a south-east lush&nbsp;with tropical forests. Mexico City, the country`s capital, is one of the highest capitals in the world situated at more than 6,500 feet as well as one of the largest metropolises on Earth! So many experiences await you in this country: going for walks in tiny fishing ports bordering the ocean, or deep sea diving in some of the most beautiful reefs in the world. However, it isn’t only for the flora that you will be travelling to Mexico, but also for its unique culture. The country is steeped in archaeological ruins, such as the famous Chichen Itzà. The pre-Colombian era saw extraordinary civilizations flourish; and many locations in Mexico still hold remnants of the time period still exist all around … The Spanish settlers also left a sumptuous heritage: their baroque architecture has been well preserved in several towns… For all of these reasons, as well as its gastronomy, music and lovely climate all year around. Clearly, Mexico can't be beat!

Located a few kilometers from the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez in southern Mexico, Sumidero Canyon, which reaches 1,000 meters in depth in places, is one of the wonders of the state of Chiapas. Once at the landing stage, I climbed aboard a little motorboat with space for around twenty people. As we followed the contours of this natural fault this little jaunt along the water gave me the opportunity to see and admire crocodiles, all kinds of species of birds, and the various wildlife that populates the banks.

Arranging an excursion to the Sumidero Canyon is easy. Numerous tour operators/travel agencies organise trips there on a daily basis from the very trendy town of San Cristobal de las Casas, or even from Tuxtla. So don't expect to find yourself on your own in a wild, natural environment. In fact it can even seem as if the numerous boats here (lanchas) are actually an integral part of the scenery!
