El Chiflon y Tenam Puente


We visited two sites near the city of Comitan - the prehispanic ruins of Tenam Puente and the waterfall at El Chiflon.




El Chiflon is down in what is called the Central Depression - driving down there we saw a roadside saying 'Danger - Unpopulated Zone' with an image of a cactus and a cow skull!


It's a truly impressive waterfall - though we nearly gave up on the walk up there in about 40 Celcius with Daisy bouncing along in the sling.



Further down we found a spot to go in the water - it was very cold and Daisy cried for a few minutes, then she realised she could touch her feet on the muddy bottom and stand and try and grab leaves floating by - she had a great time!
