The canoe slips forward as the canyon walls close in and the Tampaón River tightens its current; sunlight slices between limestone cliffs and the river dares you to match its pace. On this full-day canoe tour from Ciudad Valles, travelers paddle roughly 4.5 km upstream in a traditional panga to reach Tamul, a 105-meter waterfall that dumps into a green pool and throws mist like a curtain across the canyon.

Children can join (infants must sit on a lap), and non‑swimmers can participate with a life jacket; discuss any concerns with the operator when booking.
Typical inclusions are guide service, transport in air‑conditioned vehicle, entrance fees, safety gear, medical insurance, and a full meal at the end of the tour.
