The magic of Chiapas & why you should visit 🫶🏽✨🌿 Chiapas: The southernmost state of Mexico. I remember my dad speaking about this region so much, on how he used to go into the archaeological sites & just wander about in the wild jungle next to the ruins 🍃A place that everybody who went to couldn’t find anything similar to other places they had been before: spectacular wildlife & flowing with endless water, with unique rich cultures that spoke their own languages- untamed nature at its best 💛 These words stayed with me: wild, rich, untamed ✨ 🌳 A region with some of the wildest and most beautiful natural places I have ever seen, with indigenous cultures that have thousands of years of history and are still strong— each place with their unique traditions and their own particular language that is so different from anything I’ve ever heard. 🌳 The evergreen jungle, the endless pine forests, the gorgeous small towns, the friendliest and most generous local people. I keep falling in love with the beauty and magic of Mexico. And this has become, without a doubt, one of my favourite states in the whole country. Chiapas 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!
