You only half an hour ago Tuxla Guttierez, Chiapas, Mexico had arrived at the airport. Now you own a 2500 meters above San Cristobal de las side Casas, Zapatistas Chamulas way home and the local indigenous groups in their own way on their way to the central meeting ground, snaking the highway. On your right you the world fall away as you can see the clouds get closer. This is your first time here. Travel guide you read, and searched the internet for work. Everywhere you looked you ran across the same things, Palenque, Chamula, Lagos de Montebello. But if you want something different. You real Chiapas, and visit places that are overflowing not with tour groups want to be. As you look out into the sky, you see two green streaks. As you focus on them you realize that it actually flying to an unknown location a couple of parakeets. "Where they come from?" Makes you wonder ....

De Cima Cottoras

Located 1.5 hours Tuxla (take bus service that leaves from Plaza de Marimbau) Guttierez, Cima de Cotorras (Parakeets) outside a 180 meter deep sink hole. Vicinity of the area during the summer drought under the sink hole, becomes a tropical forest that is moist all year round. But the main attraction of the place to call home thousands of parakeets that sinkhole. For adventure, a daily trip is offered at 5:00 sinkhole down to half off, and thousands of parakeets up there outdoor jungle to see as I ascend in unison. Hotel facilities, including camping grounds and restaurants overlooking the sinkhole. Cotorras site proceeds go to maintain the natural habitat.

... Clouds part, and you find yourself in a green valley surrounded by mountain tops can not see. In the middle of the valley you see signs of life. San Cristobal de las Casas. You already out of San Cristobal and Guadalupe Mountains churches can relate there, looking in the city. It must be the recent rain, the puddle of water on the road all you see. You think to yourself that "they almost look like lakes ...

Lagos de Colon

San Cristobal de las Casas Lagos de Colon 4 hours are located in the south. Comítan take a shuttle from San Cristobal and then a bus transfer to the Lagos de colon is. This string of lakes there is known to smooth surfaces like mirrors. Local Mexico is a popular weekend site, the beautiful lakes are perfect for swimming and relaxing day off. Follow the path off the main lake area and you will find beautiful waterfall, and keep going down this path and you will find a small set of newly discovered Mayan ruins. Features a guest house, free camping area, 3 small family restaurant, and a little something during the day as food vendors selling fried plantains and fresh fruit are included.

... Taxi driver turns off the main road at Ave. Rebels. You just have to enter the historic city of San Cristobal. Colonial-style building around you. As you are driving you an incredible potpourri of humanity pass. European, American, Asian, Mexican and many indigenous groups. As you try to take it all, my thoughts are interrupted by a grumbling sound. It is your stomach. 10 hours before you know you have not eaten since breakfast. "Where can I have a bite to eat?" Makes you wonder ...

Comítan

Just 1 hour south of San Cristobal Comítan of the city. Most tourists only Chiflon him on his way to Lagos de Montebellos or pass through the outskirts of the city. They are missing out. From the bus station a short taxi ride to the beautiful historical center (or 15 minutes walk) to take. Central zocalo is ancient, and world art and sculptures are littered with. Plants and flowers are always in bloom and the weather is always perfect. Comítan highlights of the most local (Chiapas people) Chapanecos, accept that this is the best food in the state. Square, tasty restaurant, but are little more expensive. Zocalo you the best deal just 1-2 blocks away in any direction and want to find a local restaurant.

... You fight down growing hunger. First things first. You need to find a hotel. Fortunately there seems to be dozens on every block in San Cristobal. You cab in front of you that like to leave the driver in feel and fit your budget ask. You pay your rent and your bags get out of the trunk, but as you turn around to enter the hotel, you find you can not. You say dozens of indigenous women and children "comprame" are surrounded by. You do not speak Spanish, but it's hard to figure out that they there is a multi-colored bracelets, belts or sub-commandante Marcos does not want to buy dolls. "Where they all come from?" You ask ...

San Juan del Rio

San Juan del Rio, the small village is not on any map. You Cancuc a collectivo (local public transport) take and make the entrance to the village for a local taxi (probably behind a pickup) to take. This 1.5 hour walk from the entrance you get to the village. Village, no roads, electricity or have been. 500 people growing the coffee comes out of the city. A right to see how life is for the Chapanecos place. Traditional food, cooked over an open fire. Spend some time relaxing in a Mayan steam room, and then go down the local river and a swim. Foreigners are very rare here, the children in the river and any outsiders who might stare in wonder at the show will talk. You find here for a tour with local villagers to arrange. Money from these tours go to fund road construction in the village.

... Bounded out of the crowd that you fought your way through. You are now the proud owner of 5 colorful bracelets and a clay figure that you feel like a turtle. You ask whether a room is available. In broken English girl at the reception says "yes", and gives you a list of prices. Prices were fair. Paper prepared as a receptionist at the front desk you tour outside the scan prescription lain. Hundreds, the same place for each sale are tours. Then one catches my eye. Others like a bright or not professional, it's black and on the cover is white with nothing more than a pyramid. "Toniná? Where" you ask the receptionist ...
