Travelogues Chiapas

Yes, we are still alive and haven't forgotten about you! So here's an update on how we're currently doing. We have been in San Cristóbal de las Casas for 6 weeks now. It's a...

Our return journey to Mexico goes back through San Cristobal. The 12-hour drive with the tourist shuttle from Antigua Guatemala to San Cristobal in Chiapas is tough. It takes...

In the middle of the jungle in Chiapas are the ruins of a once powerful Mayan dynasty. Given the size of the ruins, it's hard to believe that only a fraction has been uncovered....

When a tour guide offered to give us a tour of the jungle and we politely declined, he rudely replied: 'No guide, no fun!' With those words in mind, we set off to explore....

Wake up relaxed, hostel coffee, a short chat with the roommates and then at 11 am for the city tour... my schedule for Saturday was quite straightforward. The weather was also...

We hope you all had a good start to the new year! Since we had a lot of experiences in Playa del Carmen at the end of December, today we have a little review of how we...

From the city of Comitan, we take a day trip to the El Chiflon waterfalls. The public Colectivo (minibus) that takes us there is like the expensive tourist shuttle in...

I will stay two nights in Palenque and book a tour to the Misol Ha and Agua Azul waterfalls. After that, the participants will be taken to my next destination, San Cristobal....

After a more or less pleasant overnight bus ride, we arrive in Palenque around 8am in the morning. Tropical heat awaits us - the temperature difference compared to San Cristobal...

After breakfast, we take a stroll through the old town for the first time in daylight. Sancris looks colorful, multicultural, and I have never seen so many vegetarian/vegan...

We visited the famous ruins the day before in two hours, the museum was closed, and the guide described the city itself as 'a sweaty, humdrum place without much appeal'... there...

Summary of 39 days in Mexico: - I visited 4 out of 32 regions, the country is really huge and has a lot to offer - Visited 5 ruins - Got to know 6 different beach destinations -...

Selva Lacandona

There is not much to say about Palenque. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I didn't even visit the city itself. Our cabins are on the edge of the jungle near the...

02/27/2018 I decided to abandon the plan of staying in Palenque after the horrible night. I just wanted to get away from the disgusting room and didn't feel like looking for a...

San Cristobal was great. We had (again) lots of good food (including vegan restaurants), visited the huge market, watched an Easter parade, met Vinnie again and visited the Na...

Palenque itself was not very interesting, the city is considered boring and not worth a visit, so I stayed at a hostel a little outside in the jungle, which was recommended to...

Words cannot describe the greatness of these Mayan ruins which are so famous and important that they were declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 2015. How much more beautiful...

El Chiflon was our last excursion of our South Mexico-Guatemala trip. I can't believe it's already been 1 month since we left Tlaxcala - time flew by. With many interesting and...

1 Year on the road!!! 2020 - What a year - It is impossible to describe what we have experienced in these 12 months. It all started with a one-way ticket to Bangkok and 3...

After Puerto Escondido, San Cristóbal de las casas was a nice change. Due to its altitude of about 2100m, it was a bit cooler, especially at night. The town reminded me a bit of...

26.02.2018 Mi first time tramp. Mi first time tramp. For the stretch of 500 km it took us almost 11 hours. Once we got stuck on a road where it felt like no cars were passing...
