2015 - MEXICO - Chiapa de Corzo - Zocalo Portals

Chiapa de Corzo has a large plaza surrounded by portals containing shop and restaurants

 

The plaza consists of 17,000 square meters.

 

Most Mexican cities refer to their main square as a plaza, plazuela (a smaller plaza), or jardin (garden) and in many cases its called the Zocalo.

 

The Plaza de Armas of Chiapa de Corzo is called "Square Angel Albino Corzo Castillejos", after a Constituent of the First Chiapas Congress,

 

 

Time to leave Centro Chiapa de Corzo and walk over to the Grijalva River embarkation point for a boat tour of the Sumidero Canyon.
