from the Pacific Ocean. It also bears a strong resemblance to the<br />

Hvittserkur arch in Iceland.<br />

beach of love is formed because you can pass underneath.<br />

Los Cabos. The arch is a rock formation that comes out of the<br />

ocean at the tip of the peninsula. Also called “The End of the<br />

Earth”, this spot is a popular tourist attraction and the focal point<br />

of a large number of photographs. The name of “The end of the<br />

earth” is because, if from this point you draw a line towards the<br />

kilometers is Antarctica”.<br />

The rocks that we see today in the walls of the Sumidero Canyon,<br />

began to form about 136 million years ago based on sediments<br />

and calcium minerals (limestone), which is formed by the action o<br />

some marine animals such as corals. This supposes that, in<br />

antiquity, this region of Chiapas was submerged by a shallow sea.<br />

The Canyon as such began to form 70 million years ago thanks to<br />

the action of tectonic movements called tectonic pillar and<br />

tectonic fossa respectively 15 million years ago the marine waters<br />

withdrew from this region thanks to geological movements that<br />

formed the important mountains of Chiapas, including the<br />

Sumidero Canyon mountains, which began to suffer dissolution<br />

and erosion due to the same water, here was born the Canyon<br />

and began its formation which continues today.<br />
