DESCRIPTION: in the morning we will leave for the indigenous communities of the Tzotzil ethnic group; visiting San Juan Chamula first, to learn, and thus understand the fusion of contemporary traditions and Mayan ancestral characteristics that identify this place. Later we will continue to Zinacantán, where we will visit the church and house of a family cooperative in which we will be received with a regional drink and observe how women work the waist loom of the pre-Columbian era. After seeing the samples of what they produce, we will be invited to go to their kitchen and if we are lucky, they will offer us to try handmade tortillas. We will end by giving a tour of the Historic center of San Cristóbal de las Casas which is one of the most romantic cities in the world, listed as Pueblo the most Magical town in the entire Mexican republic. City whose wealth lies in its ethnic diversity and colonial tradition, which shows its architectural treasures in various buildings of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. |
