墨西哥好去處－Vamos a Chiapas (I)

Chiapas is located at south of Mexico and has many tourists attracted for the famous sceneries like Palenque, Canyon, Waterfall.

Chiapas州位於墨西哥的南部,吸引了不少遊客到訪Palenque，峽谷，瀑布等著名的風景。


Lets go to see the beautiful great canyon and  Sima de los Cotorros.
It can be a whole day trip with the start at climbing up and through the waterfall (Be careful, its an all-wet activities and get prepared)

讓我們一起去看看美麗的峽谷和Sima de los Cotorros。
一日遊首先從攀爬和穿越整個瀑布開始（小心準備好會全身濕透！）

Then you will be able to walk and cool yourself up in the river inside the canyon.
然後，你能夠在峽谷的河裡游泳消暑。

After that, take a snack to prepare for a climb at the cliff of  Sima de los Cotorros!
(It  is 160 meters across and a stomach-lurching 140 meters straight down. At the bottom is a small forest, a naturally protected summer nesting area for the sinkhole’s namesake residents: thousands of cotorras, or green parrots.
They enter and leave the sinkhole in an awesome cacophonous hurricane, flying in broad wheeling spirals and squawking incessantly.)

在此之後，是小吃的時間，準備攀登 Sima de los Cotorros懸崖，！
（這是160米寬和140米深的大深淵，底部是一個小森林，是成千上萬的cotorras，或綠鸚鵡的夏季巢區。
牠們如噪雜的龍捲風進入和離開，在隨心所欲的螺旋飛行和嘎嘎叫個不停。）

At night, this is time for an easy walk in the central area to appreciate the performance in park and enjoy coffee.  Dont forget that Chiapas is famous for its coffee! 
晚上，這是在市中心地區輕鬆散步欣賞公園中的表現和享受咖啡的好時機。不要忘記， Chiapas的咖啡是很有名的！
