Itinerary

DAY 1 TUXTLA GUTIÉRREZ - SUMIDERO CANYON - SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS           
Welcome to Tuxtla Gutiérrez! Here begins your exciting adventure to the pier, where you will board a boat and sail through the impressive Sumidero Canyon. This majestic place is a geological wonder home to a unique diversity of flora and fauna. Then, we continue to the historic colonial city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, located 2,300 meters above sea level and founded in 1528 by Captain Diego de Mazariegos. Once we arrive in San Cristóbal, we will check into your hotel and you will have time to explore and discover the charms of this beautiful Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town). Accommodation

DAY 2 SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS - SAN JUAN CHAMULA - ZINACANTÁN - CITY TOUR SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS    
Breakfast. In the morning, we begin our journey to the indigenous communities of the Tzotzil ethnic group, immersing ourselves in a world of traditions and unique culture in San Juan Chamula. Here, we appreciate the fusion of contemporary traditions and ancestral characteristics. Later, we head to the community of Zinacantán, where we visit its church and a family cooperative to observe how women work the backstrap loom, an ancient art from pre-Columbian times. We admire the beauty of the looms and then have the opportunity to visit the kitchen, where we enjoy a typical regional drink and, if we're lucky, some delicious handmade tortillas. At the end of our experience in the indigenous communities, we return to San Cristóbal de Las Casas and explore this beautiful city on a walking city tour. We also have free time to enjoy its streets full of history and culture.
Accommodation

DAY 3 SAN CRISTÓBAL DE LAS CASAS - BLUE WATER WATERFALLS - MISOL-HA - PALENQUE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE    
Breakfast. In the morning, we depart for Palenque, stopping at Agua Azul, a group of incredible waterfalls created by the currents of the Otulún, Shumuljá, and Tulijá rivers, forming canyons with vertical cliffs. We then continue to the Misol-Ha waterfalls, which rise majestically 30 meters high, surrounded by lush tropical rainforest that creates a beautiful and refreshing environment. After the visit, we head to the archaeological site of Palenque. This Mayan city stands out for its rich architecture and sculptures that surprise and amaze us. We can admire impressive structures such as "The Palace," "The Temple of the Foliated Cross," "The Temple of the Sun," and many other archaeological gems.
At the end of our exploration of Palenque, we transfer to the hotel located in Palenque. Overnight stay

DAY 4 PALENQUE - LA VENTA MUSEUM - CANCUN AIRPORT
Breakfast. On this beautiful morning, we departed for the city of Villahermosa, thrilled to visit the "La Venta" museum, a place steeped in history and beauty that awakens our curiosity and wonder. Its halls house majestic works from the Olmec culture, an ancient civilization that leaves us a surprising legacy. We contemplated the four categories of pieces: altars, stelae, freestanding sculptures, and impressive colossal heads. Each one immerses us in the grandeur of pre-Columbian culture and connects us with our ancestral past. Finally, we headed to the Villahermosa airport to catch our flight home.
