Chiapa de Corzo: tradition, gastronomy and Cañon del Sumidero

The town of Chiapa de Corzo is much more than a jetty to take the boat to the Cañon del Sumidero! This town has history and tradition from pre-Hispanic times that its people proudly celebrate every year during the two weeks of JANUARY: the Fiesta Grande.
The Parachico dance has been designated an Intangible CULTURAL HERITAGE by UNESCO since 2009.

We invite you on a tour all year round to learn about the history of the Parachicos and legends, to visit traditional houses and the ARTISANS who work to prepare the Fiesta Grande.
