The great variety of mountains and valleys, the climatologic and edafologic factor, give the State an unequalled flora variety, which enriches and leave us with a final and unique landscape. Mexico's natural treasure and its correct development mean a vital issue in state's biodiversity preservation. Few places in Mexico or over the world show Chiapas geographical characteristics, making it in a reference for scientists, students or people interested in any of all the disciplines that can be developed in more than 74 thousand square kilometers of surface. Chiapas has three zones declared as National Parks by Protected Natural areas National Commission: El Sumidero Canyon, Montebello Lagoons and Palenque.
A Park created in 1980 with a 21,789 hectares guarded surface and a geological age over 12 million years, Chiapas' principal icon, scenery from the essential historic battle between Spain Soldiers and Chiapas warriors at XVI century, reason why it was placed into the State's coat of arms.
Montebello Lagoons are the most famous of all in the whole territory and has won this fame based on the colour present in each one of them and complemented by the surrounding beautiful forest. Created in 1959, was Chiapas' first National Park, has State's most important substructure, having a easy access from Comitan de Dominguez city.
