Important!

We invite you to know the ancient history and culture of the Mayan people of Chiapas. This visit will be an approach to the depth of the magical and mystical tradition of the indigenous people of Chamula and Zinacantan. 15 k.m. away from San Cristobal de Las Casas, both nations jealously guard their ancestral traditions that contrast with Chiapas' modernity.
