EL CHIFLON


About 30 minutes drive from the colonial city of Comitan Chiapas is El Chiflon, a waterfall that seemingly protrudes from the mountainside and as you drive towards it, it has the shape of angel’s wings.
There is an Eco Center at the entrance to the Chiflon Reserve, and a paved walkway that hugs the edge of the river. There are small huts and BBQ areas where you can bring your own food to enjoy a picnic, the center also offers cabins, shops, a restaurant, a parking lot, a camping site and activities such as the zip-line, mountain biking, wall climbing and a nature path, where you can take nice pictures.
