They are called "Cañones". There are two in Mexico: The Cañon del Sumidero in the state of Chiapas and the Cañon del Cobre in the state of Chihuahua. The Cañon del Cobre is bigger, deeper and in some places more spectacular than the US Great Canyon.

What canyons are there in the tropical rainforest?

Canyons are not a common landform in tropical rainforests due to the dense vegetation and lack of significant geological processes that typically create canyons. However, some rainforests may have small, narrow canyons formed by erosion from rivers or streams cutting through the terrain over a long period of time. These canyons are usually not as prominent or extensive as those found in arid or mountainous regions. Overall, the presence of canyons in tropical rainforests is limited compared to other types of environments.
