Highlights

Yachilan and Bonampak

Zona Arqueologica de Yaxchilan - The archaeological site of Yaxchilan is one of the most iconic of the Mayan culture. Its origins, peak, and decline have left numerous records that continue to fascinate both researchers and tourists. The deeds of rulers, ritual ceremonies, and daily life are among the episodes depicted in various hieroglyphic series, many of which still await thorough investigation by experts who can unveil new insights into the past.

Zona Arqueologica de Bonampak - Bonampak is situated in the Lacandon jungle of Chiapas, within the Lacanhá river valley, covering an area of over four square kilometers. The main structures were constructed along a chain of hills that traverse the center of the valley, stretching from the Sierra de la Cojolita to the riverbank.

Walk in the Jungle

Lacanja Chansayab - We embarked on a round-trip walk of approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes through the magnificent Lacandon jungle, accompanied by a local guide. It is possible to observe various species of flora and fauna native to the region.

Must do experience!!!!! - Wow This trip was totally worth it. We had a great time visiting the archeological sites, we did pay for a guide. There is just so much history there that is important you absorb all the Information. We had such a blast, we meet new people. We did the walk to the waterfall and another small arqueológicas sure with a great young guide; a Mayan girls called Vania chambor Espinoza. 13 year old who knows her way around the jungle. We learned about animals and medicinal plants; and to top it off we swam for more than an hour in the waterfall. Honestly such of a great adventure. Thing you need to know, there is no internet, you can buy at the small convenience store they give you a code which is for 1 hour and the cost is 25 pesos per hour, keep in mind that if you want to use it you have to be close to the store, I was to far away but I used it the next day; also no TV, the point of this is unplugged from electronics; instead we enjoyed the night sky and a couple of beers. The Lacandon people are super nice and very helpful. We had a blast. I hope you do to.
