Chiflón is one of the many natural places that we can visit in the beautiful region of Chiapas. The passage of the San Vicente River gives us several waterfalls falling and whistling as it passed through these mountains, the Central Depression began.
How do you get to the waterfalls of Chiflón?
The Chiflón Waterfalls are located close to Comitan of Dominguez. Through a tour of wooden walkways we can visit this natural place of waterfalls and pools where to bathe, as long as the flow and strength of the river allow it. Everything is perfectly marked, it is a place within everyone's reach.
El Sigh It is the first waterfall we see, about 25 meters high, then the Angel wing, 60 meters high and if we complete the 970 steps we will reach the Veil, the impressive queen of the place with its 120 fall meters.
Why are the waters of Chiapas turquoise?
The rivers of Chiapas, due to the karstic terrain, they give it the peculiar Turquoise Color to the area, as we see in Agua Azul, Lagunas Montebello, Las Nubes or any place of water in Chiapas that is formed in this type of soil. The karst mantle has minerals his soluble in water. When sunlight falls on water, part of its radiation is absorbed and transformed into heat, and the other part is scattered by its own water molecules, where the minerals are dissolved, which help to tint it a special intense turquoise.
When it rains the landscape changes completely in Chiapas: the waters are dyed in color chocolate, creating other landscapes. The rains wash away the sediments from the bottom, and stir the beautiful turquoise colors of Chiapas. From February to July it rains very little in Chiapas, but we already know that the weather is going the way it is, and more so with climate changes.
Chiflón It offers a pleasant stop on your way, the impressive nature of Chiapas within reach of the visitor. In the place we find the El Chiflón Waterfall Chain Ecotourism Center, where they offer us comfortable cabins to sleep with the murmur of the river once the visitors left.
Chiapas it's talking about nature, and Chiflón is about the stops.

Respectfully remember that the Chiflon is from the Municipality of Tzimol, on both sides, it is said that it is from Socoltenango because of an unfounded political strategy, more territorially the Sabinal is annexed to the Ochusjob Ejido of this municipality. To clarify doubts in this regard, the Secretary of the Interior will appeal.
