Chiapas Essentials

Chiapas contains a concentration of Mexico’s most significant Maya archaeological sites and diverse natural landscapes. This collection includes the jungle-shrouded ruins of Palenque and the massive acropolis of Toniná. Natural highlights feature the 1,000-meter limestone walls of Sumidero Canyon, the turquoise cascades of Agua Azul, and the multi-colored Montebello Lakes. Cultural landmarks include the Baroque architecture of San Cristóbal de las Casas and the indigenous syncretic traditions of San Juan Chamula, alongside the expansive Lacandon Jungle biosphere.
