This
tour was created to get better knowldege of the wide area
of Maya influence in México. The marvelous and important
State of Tabasco will be explored, from its swamps and
rivers that have more than the 30% of all the water
reserves of México to its archaeological sites, westernmost
border of the Maya influence. We'll also cross Chiapas
from north to center through the "Selva Negra", with
beautiful landscapes very away from the beaten path of
massive tourism.
Many
of the different ethnical Maya groups will be seen: Choles,
Tzotziles, Tzeltales, Lacandones and Yucatec Maya among
others. This tour is special for those willing to have a
complete knowledge of the Maya in this region: All the different
landscapes in which they used to live, from the highlands
to the swamps, from evergreen rainforests to the cloud
forests and savannas; many archaeological sites, excellent
examples of the pre classic, classic and post classic
periods of the pre Columbian Maya culture; many colonial
cities and rural communities in which the Maya of today
live and finally the marvelous Caribbean Sea.
