To Exhaust vs. To Experience

Most travelers who pass through the state of Chiapas have said the following: “Wow! There’s so much to do here! If I had known, I would have stayed at least another week.” The reason is that Israelis often view San Cristóbal as a small town, but what they don’t realize is that this amazing town is located on a mountain in the center of a state that is three times the size of their country. It’s essentially a whole country with so much to see. Chiapas is one of the most stunning regions in Mexico, offering everything from jungles and rainforests filled with waterfalls, unique colors and shapes of lagoons, and every possible activity—including waterfall rappelling, zip-lining over lagoons, simple trails or long treks, and even a rocky area that resembles Africa, canyon cliffs a kilometer high, and craters with breathtaking wildlife from parrots to eagles, crocodiles, and monkeys.

The state of Chiapas is known for its deep connection to the Maya people, from the many villages and rare authenticity you can find there [depending on how much you come to experience the place and terrain], to the ancient Maya ruins of entire cities in the jungle, including temples, fields, aqueducts, houses, and the tallest pyramid in Central America. The authenticity is so profound that, as of writing these lines, you can actually reach out and touch the artifacts with no one stopping you!

• When we saw that there was no one guiding travelers to this hidden treasure, and that the many rental cars scattered around the city did not suit the Israeli traveler’s adventurous and experiential nature but rather a more wholesale approach, we decided to expand the spectrum and let you choose 😉

We have already chosen, so we are here—for you!
