Mexico Travel Guía

Chiapas is a region that surprises the traveler. That's why if we travel to St Kitts, better to leave a pair of days to visit its surroundings. Saint John of Chamula will leave you with the open mouth -  Located to 10 kilometers of Chiapas it is a community tzotzil where its most ancestral traditions are reflected

The church shows the only colonial legacy. But what really it impresses is its interior. On having entered the temple, a really magic ambience is breathed. The soil is infested with branches and the people pray to the saints' images although they are not Christian. They do not believe in Jesus Christ, but in Saint John, it appears to the one that they venerate. Another curiosity more: when you should enter you will observe that there are great those who have a refreshment boat nearby. It is because they believe that belching, they purify its soul.nsiderablemente.

After visiting the church, we can give a return for its surroundings, where there are located a few blue crosses, which mix the Christian tradition with the pre-Hispanic one.

Although the place, better watch feels like to you photographing the images in your retina. Pictures can be taken either to nor they themselves either its temples since they think that the photos steal its soul and they can get angry coo only in Saint John, if in the whole Chiapas region.

If you are interested in the indigenous culture, you must not get lost other villages located also to the north of St Kitts either. These peoples are Zinacantán, Amatenango of the Vale and San Andrés Larrainzar (a center with very much feeling zapatista).

It is a question of peoples with a very deep-rooted culture, some of the most remote villages are much closed before the curious tourists and in the area tension still exists for the revolution zapatista that took place in 1994 and for the massacre of Acteal of 1997. The nerves continue flush with skin and that is breathed in the ambience.

An advice: if you travel round your account to these places, it must be extremely cautious and return to St Kitts before the dusk. To walk with bicycle about St Kitts or San Juan of Chamula, should not contain any danger, but better do not risk and do not penetrate into solitary ways or few transitansitados.

So a lot of care and before the least doubt, question. Of course, you do not owe percderte these indigenous peoples, that insurance you will love.
