    Among the existing wildlife that can be found in the area you can find: iguanas, rabbits, armadillos, snakes and various birds.
  • Parque Nacional Lagunas de Montebello - We continue our way to the Lagunas de Montebello National Park visiting 5 lagoons such as Tziscao, Internacional, Pojoj, 5 Lagos and the main Montebello.
    Where the food will be made after visiting the first two lagoons, lunch time 1 hour, the typical restaurants within the Lagunas de Montebello National Park are recommended, and later the last lagoons are crossed.
    The Lagunas de Montebello National Park, Located in the municipality of La Trinitaria, Chiapas, Mexico, a place characterized by its natural, historical and archaeological tourist attractions], unique natural beauty of its kind, due to its different colored lakes, caused by the same nature that surrounds it, simply a magical place.
  • Lago Pojoj - Lake Pojoj belongs to the Lagunas de Montebello National Park, a network of bodies of water that are located in the Chiapas municipality of Trinitaria. The lagoons also serve as the border between Mexico and Guatemala.

The first thing you should do in Lake Pojoj is take a perfect raft ride, which is made of logs tied with natural fiber ties.

The exciting thing about these navigations is that all the crew must row, which allows you to enjoy the sound of the water, the noises of the forest and, incidentally, do some exercise that immediately revives.

  • Lago internacional - The International Lake is located between the limits of Mexico and Guatemala (border). It is located just 2 km away, starting from the main entrance of Ejido Tziscao.
    Lago Internacional is part of a system of 30 spectacular lagoons where the tourist parador with viewpoints, piers, walkways, trails, restaurants and a handicraft plaza were rehabilitated and expanded to attract more national and Guatemalan visitors, particularly with the old stone path that connects to Mexico and Guatemala.

Beautiful waterfall tour - This was a very long day. But we’ll worth it. The waterfall was spectacular. I also went zip lining for the first time! The lakes were also so beautiful. The roads in all of Chiapas are littered with very large speed bumps. So be prepared for a bumpy bus ride. But we had a good driver. And we got to step into Guatemala!

El Chiflón/Veló de Novia Falls - Being so close to the Chiflón falls was an incredible experience! Worth the hike up there!! 1000 some steps, 1-1/2 kilometers!!

It was a long day…. - Got picked up within the timeframe and hit the road toward the falls! The guide didn’t speak any English (when I booked I had selected the English option though) It’s almost 3 hr drive to the falls, no bathroom breaks, can’t eat on the bus and the seats aren’t the most comfortable. Once we arrived at the falls we had 2 hrs to explore which was a bit rushed if you wanted to see all the falls and also relax and try to grab some food and eat before getting back on the bus. The second stop was at a lake and we were first told it was a 20 minute stop, then 30 minutes then a hr…..You have the option to go on a boat tour but you are expected to paddle the boat so it’s not a relaxing experience but it is beautiful. At this stop you can get lunch but if you don’t speak Spanish it’s impossible to understand what anyone is saying because everyone was speaking very fast. The last stop is another lake that borders Guatemala and it’s very beautiful but we weren’t given a time frame for when to be back at the bus so after wandering around for a bit the driver found all of us and we left for the almost 4 hr drive with no bathroom breaks, got back to hostel at 1030pm. It’s a very long day, the locations are beautiful but be prepared and bring your own lunch!

Waterfalls were great, lakes were very disappointing - The Chiflon waterfalls were great, but we needed to stay with the group while we were there and got a little short time in my opinion. Montebello lakes are definitely not worth the long trip. The food over there was way overpriced (300 pesos for 2 coffee and 2 quesadillas), but you were left no choice. Felt like a tourist trap to me. The lakes themselves are not special. If I would do it again, I would look for an only el Chiflon tour
