About Frontera Corozal, Ocosingo
Almost right by the Mexico-Guatemala borderline, there is a magical zone in the east part of the state where ethnic groups like Tzeltzales, Choles, Lacandones and Mestizos protect a great portion of natural richness. The Frontera Corozal (corozal border) is on the limits to the west part of Ocosingo municipality, the largest one in the state, a jungle extension that offers impressive tourist routes near highly valuable cultural attractions. It is located on the left side of the Usumacinta River.
Located 165 km from Palenque, there is a community that settles right among the famous archeological zone that goes by the same name and where the southeast border highway starts stretching, inaugurated in 2000. This highway, side by side and close to the Mexico-Guatemala border line ends in the emerald color waters of the Montebello Lagoons. This road over 400 km long that finds the Corozal Border in its way and the amazing landscapes of the Lacandona Jungle, will make all together an unforgettable route.
The Frontera Corozal was founded in 1976. Its ecological richness and strategic location for tourism facilitate to establish tourist centers known for their good service like Escudo Jaguar, where there is an artificial wall to practice climbing.
The archeological zones that surround this community are: Palenque, Bonampak y Yaxchitlan, as well as Piedras Negras, in Guatemala. Nearby this town one can also visit the Sierra de la Cojolita Natural Reserve and the Montebello Lagoons.
Nevertheless, due the discovery of two Mayan steles (big stone or wooden slabs with inscriptions) in a place called “Dos Caobas”, a Museum was built becoming the main attraction in town.
Given its very convenient encounter point to several tourist zones in the border with Guatemala, Frontera Corozal has been growing as a Chiapas attraction of great importance.
