Magic of Chiapas
Naomi Castañeda
Let me share with you the hidden gems Chiapas has to offer (I'll be sharing with you a big gift, the GEM of the GEMS! but promise me, we'll keep it secret) + all those places/things you can't miss
You'll find recommendations not just on where to go, but also on where to indulge in delicious food (because I'm a foodie!) and how to get around.
Chiapas is the first place in my Country I explored as a traveler and is one of my favorite states of México because I feel it has it all.. culture, nature, food, people, colors, and more!
During my first time there I got to experience it with locals / indigenous people and every time I went back I tried to experience it in different ways, with tours, public transportation, traveling solo, and taking my friends to the gems!
Today is your turn, so let's go!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Naomi Castañeda
¡Hola!
I am Naomi, the "creative dreamer" as my friends would describe me.
México is where I am from, but I've been traveling full-time since I finished college; I got a tourism degree which showed me the impact and power we have as travelers, and since then I've trying to LIVE in every place I visit, my rule is to stay at least 1 month in each place, but I usually end up staying 3-6 months (jiji)
I am also a: Photographer and marketing manager! Which is what allows me to keep traveling.
My main interests are:
Nature ( I am like a fish and love being by the water and also looooove to hike)
Food (I love exploring beautiful and yummy places + getting to experience the local dishes everywhere I go)
Growth and Connections <3 This means I love adventures and exploring things outside of the usual path, connecting not only with travelers but with locals and inspiring people to go out there...(especially women from my and those countries where traveling solo as a female is not a thing at all)
