Crossing the Chipas in 15 days · Guide

About this experience

Set off on an immersive journey through Chiapas, designed to make you live a secret, authentic Mexico entirely free of logistical constraints. From the mythical Mayan cities of Palenque, Bonampak and Yaxchilán to the dizzying cliffs of Sumidero Canyon, let yourself be amazed by wild scenery of striking beauty.

Let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Selva Lacandona, the crystal-clear freshness of the Montebello lagoons and the mesmerizing atmosphere of the colonial streets of San Cristóbal de las Casas. Between the mysticism of San Juan Chamula, the richness of craft traditions and the warmth of local encounters, every day offers a true emotion and a change of scenery out of time.

This exceptional journey takes you where time seems suspended: along the Lacantún River, in the heart of the Lacandone jungle, in the footsteps of the last guardians of Mayan culture, and in unspoilt places that only the most curious travellers dare to explore.
