What you can expect

Culture and traditions in millenary environment. The Mayan Cultures at San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan will impress you by their churches, religion, myths and customs full of color. We’ll have a guided visit at one of their churches and the local market of San Juan Chamula, getting to know the customs and religion, visiting the interior of the San Juan Bautista Church, full of rituals and millenary customs, admiring the setups in the altars and the dressing of their saint according to the indigenous customs. We’ll have a walk around the town and you’ll have time to buy artisanry and souvenirs from the region. After we are finished we’ll go the community of Zinacantan, famous for their hip loom, visiting the looms where we’ll enjoy a delicious mini lunch consisting of beans, organic coffee, handmade tortillas and a typical drink from the region, everything in company of a local family. We’ll also be able to observe the syncretism between the Catholic religion and the mayan customs inside the Church of San Lorenzo. We’ll finish our visit at the Samuel Taktik Museum.
