Luxury holidays in Chiapas

Chiapas – Mexico’s southernmost state – is blanketed in emerald hues from verdant mountainsides and mystic blues that reflect off fresh water cascadas. But beyond its impressive natural scenery, this region is rife with a history that lives on in the walls of its Mayan ruins and colonial cities. Nature lovers can gawk at the toucans, tapirs, and scarlet macaws that wander through the Lacandón Jungle and cool off in the limpid waters of the Agua Azul waterfalls. Meanwhile, culture seekers can stroll the vibrant streets of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, or visit the ancient Palenque Ruins and the towering temples of Toniná. Bursting with options, Chiapas may be one of Mexico’s lesser-known regions but it certainly delivers.
