The Heron Sanctuary in Cintalapa is an area where around 300 herons live and nest in trees in an area of 500 square meters, where the couple takes care of the eggs until they hatch and then fly away. For visitors it is a very important natural attraction.
Cintalapa is one of the municipalities of the Mexican state of Chiapas. Its name is of Nahuatl origin and means "water underground."
