Sima de Las Cotorras - Waterfall "El Aguacero"
Overview
We will go at 4:30 in the morning from San Cristóbal de Las Casas to the spectacular sinkhole formed thousands of years ago, with 160 meters in diameter and 140 meters deep, it will not leave you fascinated. At dawn we will experience the natural spectacle for which the “Sima de las Cotorras” is named. When the first rays of the sun arrive, dozens of Parakeets will take flight, momentarily leaving their natural enclosure, an experience that you cannot miss. We will have time to have breakfast and walk around the Sima. We will continue our extraordinary journey towards “La Cascada el Aguacero”, a waterfall that rises from the “Cueva del Encanto” and how not to leave us enchanted if when colliding with the rocks it will spread its refreshing breeze over us in the form of a downpour, a unique natural combination.
