The state of Chiapas gives a true sense of Mexico’s cultural diversity. It is a reservoir of still vibrant Mayan customs: Tzotzil communities in San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán, Tzeltal people in Amatenango, and Lacandons from Lacanha in the Chiapas forest. On the high plateaus, the descendants of the Maya tell the story of their civilisation by weaving together its history. Palenque, Yaxchilan, Bonampak and Tonina are the highlights, nestled in the Chiapas jungle. Between mountains and tropical forest, Chiapas can also be explored on foot, by boat, by kayak or by rafting. The Sumidero Canyon, the Montebello lagoons, the Misol-Ha or Agua Azul waterfalls, so many natural beauties not to be missed.
