Chamula Travel Guide

pueblo de tzotzil mayas, san juan chamula, mercado, iglesia

This is a particular place in Mexico (Chiapas), I don´t like it but its good to coment that its a comunity who lives in the highest place of Chiapas, the people there are very closed and they have their customs and culture really strong. The goverment let them make their own rules, rules that are strange but they are agree with that. Attractives??? theres a Church that is used for "chamans" to cure people with plants, they kill chikens inside ant its completely full of smoke and candles inside. Its really strange (you must pay to get into). How to get there??? First you have to arrive to San Cristobal de las Casas, then ask for a special taxi that goes to "San Juan Chamula" its near from San Cristobal (like 15mins). So if you want to stay in San Cristobal you will find everything you need there, its full of foreing people (I don´t like that) and the nightlife its not so bad. 

Very interesting church with a mixture of local and catholic religion. A pure indigenous place.
