Chiapa de Corzo
Only 12km from state capital Tuxtla Gutiérrez lies one of the most beautiful colonial towns in southern Mexico’s Chiapas state. Nestled on the northern bank of the Río Grijalva, Chiapa de Corzo is the main starting point for trips to nearby Cañón del Sumidero, and is home to the vivacious UNESCO-listed Fiesta Grande de Enero celebrations, which take place every January.
