Acerca de este lugar
Uninajab, which means "New Water" in the Tojolabal language, is one of the most refreshing and lesser-known natural oases in the Llanos region of Chiapas.
Located in the municipality of Comitán de Domínguez, this spot is distinguished by its crystal-clear springs that emerge from the ground to form a series of canals, pools, and small cascades snaking through lush vegetation. Unlike the state's massive waterfalls, Uninajab offers a serene, family-friendly experience where the main attraction is the pale turquoise color and absolute transparency of the water.
The site serves as a local gathering point where time passes slowly.
The natural pools...
are ideal for swimming due to their moderate depth and gentle currents, making them safe for visitors of all ages. The complex features rustic facilities, including palapas, grills, and camping areas, allowing travelers to enjoy an authentic picnic. Uninajab's environment is particularly special for its warm-temperate climate, which invites you to dive into the cool waters even when the midday sun is at its strongest in the lowlands.
Uninajab is the perfect alternative for those seeking a quiet break from the crowds at Montebello Lakes or El Chiflón, both located a short distance away. Here, the connection with nature is simple; it’s a place to listen to the murmur of the water, watch local birds, and enjoy regional cuisine. Visiting Uninajab is a chance to discover the "everyday" Chiapas—the one locals cherish as their own secret Garden of Eden.
💡 Consejos:
Total Accessibility: Unlike Las Tzimoleras, Uninajab is easy to reach and 100% family-oriented. You can arrive in a compact car, and the paths within the resort are suitable for children and seniors.
Comitecan Gastronomy: Take advantage of the proximity to Comitán to bring or buy local snacks like butifarras (traditional sausages)...
or pan compuesto. Eating under a palapa by the river is the full local experience.
Timing is Everything: Visit during the week if you are looking for absolute solitude. Sundays are a day of deep family tradition, and the place fills up with music and local community life.
Proximity: Since it is very close to Comitán, you can easily visit this spring in the morning and spend the afternoon exploring the city's historic center.
