What To Expect
We will transfer from the meeting point in Tuxtla Gutierrez to the boarding point which is approximately an hour’s drive away. Meeting time is at ls 5:45 am.
We will embark in the kayaks next to the Chicoasén Dam. From this point we will row approximately 7 km to the waterfall known as Christmas Tree. At this point we will take a moment and take the opportunity to take pictures with a Gopro that we will share without any cost as part of the experience. Then we will row 7 km back to the same point. We loaded the equipment into the van and returned them to the same location where they were picked up.
The kayaks we run are more comfortable, rudder-equipped cross-country kayaks that make it easier to steer the kayak, allowing them to enjoy more of the paddling and scenery.
Transfers are made in a Pick Up 2025 van to ensure your comfort during your trip. This is not a private experience and more people could travel in the vehicle and participate in the experience. Groups are usually 6 to 8 people.
