Introducing Tenosique
On the voluminous Río Usumacinta, amid farmland in far southeastern Tabasco, Tenosique is, for travelers, primarily a halt on a route into Guatemala. From the small border town of El Ceibo, 60km southeast of Tenosique, boats head along the Río San Pedro to El Naranjo, Guatemala, where you can catch onward transportation to Flores. A new road between El Ceibo and El Naranjo might be open by the time you get there.

The mighty Usumacinta issues from jungle-clad hills at Boca del Cerro, 8km southwest of Tenosique on Hwy 203. Lancha (fast, open, outboard boat) operators, at the embarcadero on the west side of the bridge, charge around M$400 per boat for a 1½-hour trip up the river to the start of the rapids-strewn San José canyon and back.
