The whole church has over thousand candles lit and kept on the floor. There is no place to sit other than on the dry pine grass on the floor. Even the town of Chamula is deep routed in Mayan traditions, where they believe that taking a picture of a local is like stealing his soul, so no pictures are allowed neither in the church or in the entire town. In the evening, enjoy walking in the old town, San Cristobal, which is perhaps the most colourful town in Mexico.

  • San Cristobal - Aqua Azul - Misol’ha - Palenque

    After an early breakfast, it is time to bid farewell to this mountain town. We'll drive for three hours and enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way.

After visiting the ruins, we'll begin our journey to a town that appears as if it belongs in the 17th century.

    We will further explore the beautiful landscape of Yucatan with our first stop being the 3 Cenotes at Cuzama. The ancient Mayan people used the fresh water from these cave ponds of Yucatan as there is no river here. Each Cenote has clear water and if you wish to swim it would be a wonderful experience.

See the most stunning squares – the Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza San Francisco de Asis and Plaza Vieja. Visit a Mercado Agropecuario, a local market with fresh fruits and vegetables. Now you can take a break from walking, take a ride in one of those classic cars that parade through the streets of the city On a Convertible Classic Car Tour, you’ll be whisked out of Old Havana and will clearly be able to see the contrast with the newer parts of central Havana, Havana Vedado and the faded grandeur of Miramar.
