Tour to the indigenous towns of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán (PK)

No trip to Chiapas would be complete without visiting San Juan Chamula, the home of the Tzotzil community in the Chiapas Highlands. This place is renowned for its religious syncretism, where pre-Hispanic traditions blend with Catholic influence to create a distinct and unparalleled culture.

One of the main attractions of San Juan Chamula is its church and atrium, located in the central square of the town. Here, you can witness religious ceremonies that are highly representative of Tzotzil culture, such as the use of candles, incense, and other elements in rituals and offerings.

Next, we'll visit Zinacantán, another Tzotzil town that is famous for its textile arts and traditional cuisine. Here, you'll learn about the tradition of weaving wool and cotton on waist looms, as well as the preparation of typical dishes such as mole and tamales.

Finally, we'll return to San Cristóbal de las Casas for a brief guided tour of the town. In summary, this tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the cultural and religious richness of Chiapas' indigenous communities and delve into their ancestral traditions and customs. Don't miss out on this extraordinary journey!

Excelente atención casi personalizada, los choferes y guías siempre fueron muy amables, nuestro agradecimiento a DON Antonio, a Mariano al sr Arturo que nos dejó ya de regreso en el aeropuerto, solo un pequeño inconveniente, el tercer chófer, el sr Manuel no es nada delicado para manejar, y sobretodo, considero que debería de tener más cuidado porq precisamente el le toco conducir rumbo a Palenqe, Misol ha y cascadade agua azul, lo cual solo KOs dejaba en la entrada ; nunca tan amable como los anteriores choferes que nos iban explicando la historia orígenes y costumbres de los lugares, este señor solo manejaba y muuuy recio por curvas muy cerradas y aveces en sentido contrario rebasaba.
Fuera d esta persona, todo excelente.
