Tuxtla Gutierrez Active Vacation and Tuxtla Gutierrez Active Luxury Travel Package

<<< Back To Tuxtla Gutierrez Overview

Archaeology
Although it has indigenous roots, there are no nearby archaeological complexes.


Architecture
One of the finest examples of architecture in this hot city in the state of Chiapas is the Cathedral of San Marcos, built in the mid-16th century. It has been remodeled several times, meaning that some of its original style has been lost. Its current facade is reminiscent of the local colonial churches. Just 15 km away, in Chiapa de Coroz, stands the Mudéjar fountain built in the mid-16h century by Fr. Rodrigo de León. Its characteristic features include its brick arches and a turret containing a spiral staircase.

Church and former Monastery of Santo Domingo

The left tower of this monument, erected in the 16th century, contains an impressive bell weighing 5,168 kg made from a gold, silver and copper alloy.


La Pila

The Colonial Fountain or La Pila as it is known by the locals, built in the mudéjar style, whose magnificent arches were designed to imitate the crown of the Catholic monarchs.


Art & Handcrafts
Handicrafts can be purchased in shops in the center, craft markets and the Chiapa de Corzo jetty.


Festivals
The Fiesta of San Marcos is important because he is the local patron saint. The Chiapas Fair, celebrated in conjunction with the Feast of Guadalupe in December, brings the city to life, while the expressions of Zoque culture lend the Carnival a touch of color and folklore.


Historical Interest
The Cañón del Sumidero , 15 km away from the city, is one of the main attractions, together with the Plaza Cívica and the Miguel Álvarez del Toro Zoo, regarded as one of the finest in Latin America .

Church and former Monastery of Santo Domingo
The left tower of this monument, erected in the 16th century, contains an impressive bell weighing 5,168 kg made from a gold, silver and copper alloy.

Sumidero Canyon
It is said that the Chiapas Indians preferred throwing themselves into this canyon to being captured by the Spanish and forced into slavery when the Spanish troops, led by Captain Diego de Mazariegos , cornered them at the Tepetchía crag in 1527.


Golf
In Tuxtla Gutiérrez , there is wonderful place for playing golf called Club Campestre Tuxtla . This 9-hole golf course, par 72, has a length of 3,374 yards.

Club Campestre de Tuxtla
Rancho el Arenal, Colonia Terán.
This course has 9 holes and offers equipment rental, caddy service and golf lessons.


Extreme Sports
The Parque Nacional El Sumidero is the setting of choice for rappel enthusiasts. The impressive vertical walls of the ravine are only suitable for professionals.


Hiking & Climbing
The Cañón del Sumidero is suitable for climbing and mountaineering. Its vertical walls attract professionals from all over the world who come here to rappel. Walkers can tour the observation points and enjoy the wonderful scenery.


Sailing
Ever year, a speedboat race is held in the waters of the Presa Manuel Moreno, known as Chicoasén, located at one end of the Cañón del Sumidero.

The Chicoasén dam
The best place to start a boating adventure is at Cahuaré or at Chiapa del Corzo. The Grijalva River will take you down through a mountain pass to the reservoir, which is 32 km long. The view of the canyon walls from the riverbed among waterfalls and caves is quite spectacular.

Water Sports
Depending on the time of the year, Presa Chicoasén is the scene of all kinds of water sports and competitions that attract participants from all over the world.
