Chiapa de Corzo

Nestled on the northern banks of the Grijalva River, Chiapa de Corzo stands as one of the region’s oldest Spanish settlements, enriched by a deep indigenous history. This town serves as a gateway for excursions into the breathtaking Sumidero Canyon. Among its highlights, visitors can explore a well-preserved 16th-century church, which is one of the finest in Chiapas, and the distinctive La Pila fountain, shaped like a crown. These landmarks offer a glimpse into the area’s colonial past and continue to be central to the town’s cultural identity.
