This tour offers a perfect combination of historical exploration and relaxation, providing a deep dive into the rich cultural and natural heritage of the region. Part 1: Exploration of the Zona Arqueológica Toniná Your adventure begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring Zona Arqueológica Toniná, an extraordinary yet lesser-known Maya site nestled in the lush highlands of Chiapas. Toniná is famed for its towering acropolis, a magnificent multi-level structure rising over 70 meters, making it one of the tallest ancient buildings in Mesoamerica. As you ascend its seven platforms, you will explore intricately carved temples, palaces, and plazas that reveal the grandeur of a once-powerful city-state. At the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across the verdant Chiapas landscape, providing a stunning backdrop for understanding the city’s historical context. Your guide will illuminate the site’s significance as a major political and military power during the Maya Classic Period (6th to 9th centuries AD), explaining the stories behind the remarkable stone carvings that depict powerful rulers, legendary battles, and sacred ceremonies. Part 2: Relaxation at Cascada El Corralito Following your exploration of Toniná, the tour takes you to Cascada El Corralito, a tranquil waterfall hidden in a lush tropical forest. Here, you can unwind and soak in the serene atmosphere as you listen to the calming sound of cascading waters. The waterfall flows over multiple levels, forming natural pools perfect for a refreshing swim. Surrounded by dense greenery and vibrant wildlife, this secluded spot offers a perfect retreat to relax and connect with nature after a day of historical discovery. Why Take This Tour?
