Sumidero Canyon

Visited Cañón del Sumidero, an hour an a half or so from San Cristobal de Las Casas, which was beautiful place but it was sad to see all the pollution in the reservoir and the excessive tourism (to which I contributed). Felt guilty riding in one of the many tour boats spewing the toxic chemicals into the lake. However, it was good to see this as an example of eco-tourism run amok. There's a cleanup project underway to remove the trash but this doesn't appear to be very serious since plastic bottles are being removed by hand without even basic equipment like nets.
