Explore the Cultural Wealth of Chiapas: San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán

Welcome to a journey filled with history, tradition, and authenticity in the heart of Chiapas. Our tour begins in San Cristóbal, where the magic of indigenous culture awaits you at the reception of your hotel at 9:30 a.m.

San Juan Chamula: Where Tzotzil Tradition Captivates the Senses

Our first destination is the fascinating indigenous village of San Juan Chamula, home to the Tzotzil community. This corner of pre-Hispanic origin is governed by ancestral customs and traditions. Divided into three neighborhoods: San Juan Bautista, San Pedro, and San Sebastián, each with its own cemetery, this place will immerse you in a unique experience.

The seat of authority and the temple of San Juan Bautista are witnesses to the religious syncretism that characterizes the region, merging Christian tradition with pre-Hispanic roots. Giant crosses representing Chul Metic (Mother God) and Chul Totic (Father God) preside over these sacred spaces, creating a mystical and revealing atmosphere.

Zinacantán: The "Place of Bats" and its Floral Wealth

Continuing our journey, we head to the picturesque Tzotzil village of Zinacantán, also known as the "Place of Bats." Its sacred spaces are highlighted by the hills surrounding the valley and the imposing colonial church of San Lorenzo, remodeled in the early 20th century.

In this enclave, the Tzotzil ethnicity flourishes, and floriculture stands out as one of its main productive activities. Discover the harmony between indigenous culture and the natural beauty that envelops this place, adding to an enriching experience.
