Description

Experience a captivating full-day tour that combines the rich history of the ancient Mayan civilization with the breathtaking natural beauty of Chiapas. This journey takes you from the fascinating archaeological ruins of Chincultik to the serene and colorful lakes of Montebello. Archaeological Zone of Chincultik: Your day begins with a visit to the Archaeological Zone of Chincultik, a hidden gem nestled in the lush jungles of Chiapas. This ancient Mayan site, less frequented by tourists, offers a peaceful and intimate exploration of impressive ruins that include pyramids, plazas, and stelae adorned with intricate carvings. Wander through the remnants of this once-thriving city and learn about the fascinating history and culture of the Mayan civilization while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding jungle and the nearby Cenote Azul, a stunning natural sinkhole that adds to the mystical atmosphere of the site. Lagos de Montebello: Next, the tour continues to the breathtaking Lagos de Montebello, a series of over 50 lakes known for their strikingly vibrant colors. These lakes, varying in hues from emerald green to deep blue, owe their unique colors to differences in mineral content, water depth, and surrounding vegetation. You’ll have the opportunity to explore several of these picturesque lakes, each offering its own charm and beauty. Enjoy leisurely walks along the shorelines, take stunning photographs, or simply relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings. Some of the lakes are also great spots for a refreshing swim or a scenic boat ride. Why Take This Tour? This full-day tour offers a unique blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty. You’ll explore the lesser-known archaeological wonders of Chincultik and experience the enchanting landscapes of Lagos de Montebello, creating a memorable adventure filled with history, nature, and tranquility. Prepare for a day of discovery by wearing comfortable walking shoes, bringing a hat and sunscreen, and having a camera ready to capture the unforgettable sights!
