Tapijulapa

Small, austere church built in the 17th century. Briefly was used as a military barracks during the Mexican War of Independence. Set on a hilltop, it provides excellent views of the town.

Small historical museum in the home of former state governor Tomas Garrido Canabal. The home was built in 1931 and has period furnishings, exhibits about Governor Garrido, and an exhibit about the local Zoque culture (one of Mexico's less-studied indigenous cultures).

The park is a unique environment with sulfurous springs producing chalky blue waters that fill several natural pools and a robust stream that drops 12 meters over the picturesque waterfalls, Cascada de Villa Luz. A karst cave called the Cueva de Villa Luz (or Cueva de Sardinas) is famous for its poisonous hydrogen sulfide atmosphere inside the cave (very hazardous to enter). Local folklore has it that indigenous Zoque shaman would enter the cave and fish for sardines on one day of the year. Access to the park is via a boat or bridge crossing the Oxolotán River to the park. The park features a swinging bridge, hiking trails, sheer cliffs with climbing and rappeling opportunities, and natural spa-like pools where you can soak your tired bones while you assault your nose with the scent of sulfuric mineral waters.
