“The Routes of Mexico flow through Mexico’s cultural routes, including Copper Canyon RR, Tequila, Wine, Mole and Mundo Maya Routes.” COURTESY OF CHIAPAS TOURISM BOARD –theroutesofmexico.com Argovia Finca Resort in Chiapas Located in the southern part of the country, Chiapas is a remarkable montage of climates and ecosystems, rich in archaeological treasures and predominantly indigenous. Stays in rustic cabins deep in the Lacandon jungle can include cave explorations or river excursions. A point of departure for many a trek is the town of San Cristobal de las Casas, a lovely colonial town that is a vivid representation of a curious mix of Catholicism and indigenous beliefs. Surrounding towns such as San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan offer their own captivating glimpses into the lives of the Tzotzil and Tzeltal Indians, each with their own traditions and their own language—just two of the many tribes that call Chiapas home. This is also the site of the ruins of Palenque, Yaxchilan and Bonampak, the latter famous for its brightly colored murals, the best preserved in the Mayan World. Adventure Life (adventure-life. com)—committed to providing quality small group tours—takes active couples and their wedding party on a 9-day active trip that combines mountain biking, rafting, and hiking with visits to local villages, Mayan ruins, and remote rainforest. Weather: Yucatan, Campeche and Chiapas share similar tropical weather patterns, with a humid climate with a deﬁned rainy season and a relatively dry season from late winter to early spring. The temperature drops a bit in the winter, with winds making it chilly enough for a sweater at night. However, on the several mountain ranges near the center of the state of Chiapas (where San Cristobal de las Casas is located), it can be temperate to quite cold at night. 12 / march 2013 10-13 SouthColonial.indd 12 recommend.com 2/21/13 9:19 AM http://www.theroutesofmexico.com http://www.haciendamisne.com.mx http://www.haciendasanantonio.com.mx http://www.puertacalakmul.com.mx http://www.pakaldmc.com.mx/paquetes/index.htm http://www.tourschiapas.com http://www.bakuevents.com http://www.destinochiapas.com/ http://www.soireeventos.com http://www.yucatanlove.com http://www.mayanature.com.mx http://www.catherwoodtravel.com http://www.cieloytierratours.com http://www.hispanoamerica.travel/ http://www.kankabiok.com http://edzna.com.mx http://orbitur.com.mx http://viajeschiapas.com http://journeymexico.com http://www.recommend.com
