What a pleasant surprise of a natural wonder ! I must admit I did come to this trip as part of 15 day tour across Mexico. Due to a bad weather forecast for the day we were supposed to have it, we were called late in the day and asked if we could do it early evening. I must admit we almost said no, but I’m so glad that we went. The team waited for us after the normal closing time and as the result we were the only boat on the lake/ canyon. It was a wonderful evening and we were blown away by the Shere scale and majesty of a towering cliffs and wild life in the canyon. Our driver/guide was excellent even though we couldn’t speak Spanish. He did his best to point out various crocodiles, birds, caves, etc along the way. Our trip lasted 1.5 hours and by the time we returned it was dark. Wonderful evening had by all! An unbelievable well kept secret canyon .See more..

My girlfriend and I went to Montebello and we were a bit concerned about the roads because the bad comments on here, I just wanna let you know guys that these roads are in mint condition, no potholes,no rocks, yes some curves like any other Mexican road but you won't die buddy! Those little curves will make your trip worth it 110%. These lakes are just a piece of art and haven't seen anything better than them. If you ever get the chance to visit, make sure you do the canoe adventure ($250 pesos each). A guide will take you on a Mayan man built canoe through the five lakes giving you details on the history and answers any questions you may have. He will also stop for twenty minutes to allow you to swim in the beautiful lake of changing colours. This is a must see excursion! Highly recommended ! Tip: don't get a guide from the roads outside the national park, get a guide once you pay your entrance fee to the park Thumbs up if you like my comment!!!See more..
