San Cristóbal to Palenque: Following the Mayan route
Fernanda Cortina
This 12-day road trip will take you on a journey through the heart of Mexico's southernmost state. Beginning in the colonial city of San Cristóbal de las Casas, we will venture deep into the Lacandon Jungle, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. Along the way, you'll find ancient Mayan ruins, swim in crystal clear waterfalls, and experience the unique culture of the indigenous communities that call this region home.
