Description

Day 1: Departing from San Cristóbal de las Casas at 6:00 am, you'll travel to the General Lázaro Cárdenas community near the Grand Canyon of La Venta. Enjoy breakfast in the community before beginning your journey through the Ocote Biosphere Reserve. At 10:00 am, start your expedition to the Arc of Time, a 3-hour hike with porters and mules transporting equipment. Arrive around 1:00 pm at the majestic Arch of Time, where you'll camp on 'Playa del Tiempo' beach and rappel down a 25-meter wall. Spend the night by a bonfire inside the canyon. Day 2: After breakfast, pack up and prepare to ascend. Using harnesses, carabiners, and ropes, climb out individually with team support.
