Those sticks in the water that you can see in the photos below, are crocodiles. When we took a boat ride in the Canon Del Sumidera we saw crocodiles and two different varieties of iguanas. Prior to seeing them these scaly creatures swimming in the water was happily putting my hand in the water but once we approached them Kenzo and I agreed it was not a good idea to have my hand in the water. Unfortunately there was a lot of rubbish in this area, I guess no-one wants to clean up so close to these crocodiles 😉
We took a trek on the outskirts of San Cristobal De Las Casas and found ourselves in a forest of mainly pine trees. As we reached nearer the peak we saw many bromeliads (usually red) and orchids growing high up on the branches of the tall trees.
We were lucky enough to visit Palenque ruins and see some of the beautiful jungle with its entangled vines.
