About this property

Welcome to Santuario Cocodrilo Tres Lagunas

Santuario Cocodrilo Tres Lagunas stands as a tranquil refuge nestled within the lush forests of Chiapas, Mexico. This serene sanctuary offers visitors a unique opportunity to connect deeply with nature, away from the noise of urban life. Located along the southern border highway at kilometer 115 + 700, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the region’s rich natural and cultural treasures.

With a solid rating of 4.4, the Santuario is praised for its peaceful ambiance and scenic views of the pristine lagoons. Guests like Florent Breiner highlight the quiet, forested setting and suggest a visit to the nearby Yaxchilan ruins, only a 45-minute drive away. The presence of vibrant wildlife, including toucans, adds an enchanting touch to the experience, though visitors are advised to prepare for the local mosquitoes.

The accommodations cater to comfort and rustic charm alike. Cozy bungalows and camping options come equipped with hot showers, ensuring a refreshing stay after a day of exploration. Families will appreciate the kid-friendly environment, where children can safely engage with nature.

This retreat invites travelers seeking calm, inspiration, and a respectful connection with the environment. It leaves a lasting impression—one of peaceful mornings by the water, vibrant wildlife encounters, and the gentle comfort of a secluded haven deep in the heart of Chiapas.

Quiet and relaxing place, within the forest! Don't miss the Yaxchilan ruins in the area, its 45min drive from there. Note that a wonderful toucan is also living here! (Beware the mosquitos also)

Nos quedamos encantados con la vista a las lagunas. Bajamos a otra laguna donde unos locales nos dejaron usar la canoa y el atardecer ahí estuvo perfecto. La comida fue rica (podría tener menor precio) Las cabañas para hospedarse se veían muy comodas.
