OTISA runs this full-day trip out of San Cristóbal de las Casas, pairing the main viewpoints above Sumidero Canyon with a visit to Chiapa de Corzo.
The whole thing runs about 8 hours, travelling in tourist vehicles with a guide who also drives. Entry tickets for the places on the itinerary are covered in the price.
The day is built around ground transport between stops rather than hiking. You are taken to the canyon viewpoints and to Chiapa de Corzo itself, following the itinerary set out by the operator. It suits travellers who want the viewpoints and the town in one organised outing without arranging their own transport or tickets.
Two things shape whether it fits you. The tour is conducted in Spanish only, with no bilingual guide available, so non-Spanish speakers will miss the commentary even if the sights carry the day. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included either, so you make your own way to the departure arrangement set out on the booking page. Children from two years old pay the normal rate, and the group can run to as many as 35 travellers.
A few practical points from the listing are worth knowing before you book, since several of them catch people out.
