Start of the 1 ½ hour lasting excursion through the Canyon. The Canyon
is worn out millions of years ago by the wild river, Río Grijalva, which in
1982, was tamed by the construction of the Chicoasen-dam.
We rent a small boat with considerably horse power and put on our
life-jackets. We see vultures, crocodiles, birds, and very high rock-faces
with beautiful rockeries.
And somewhere in a rock we see a little Maria chapel.
The walls are at some places almost 1000 meters high!!
¡VÁMONOS!!!, going on the
river.
VULTURES...
Through the water that drips smoothly from above downstairs, we see some
beautiful lichens formed in huge dimensions. Very special to see.

On the way back.

After a terrific excursion through the canyon we set off
again.
We keep on driving to San Cristóbal de las casas.
Again beautiful landscapes underway.
From
tehuantepec, on sea level, we enter
the mountains again to go to the, on 2300 meters high city, San
Cristóbal de las Casas
Tot nu toe
betreft het een viertal vakanties: Suriname,
Egypte, Peru, Bolivia en Mexico. Verder een kort
fotoverslag van de zonsverduistering in 1999 te
noord-frankrijk in de buurt van het plaatsje
Spincourt. Er is een mogelijkheid om mijn
gastenboek te tekenen. Deze homepage is
