FSX – Scenery MMTB-Tuxtla-Gutierrez

FSX – Scenery MMTB-Tuxtla-Gutierrez, Canon del Sumidero photoreal, Mexico. Sumidero Canyon (Spanish: Canon del Sumidero) is a narrow and deep canyon surrounded by a national park located just north of the city of Chiapa de Corzo in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The canyon’s creation began around the same time as the Grand Canyon, by a crack in the area’s crust and erosion by the Grijalva River, which still runs through it. The canyon has vertical walls which reach as high as 1000 meters, with the river turning up to ninety degrees during the thirteen kilometers that the narrow passage runs. At the north end of the canyon is the Chicoasen Dam, one of several on the Grijalva River and important for water storage and the generation of hydroelectricity. By Fernando Angel G.
