		Exploring Chiapas Land of the Maya
With its dramatic Mayan ruins, Spanish-Colonial architecture, wild jungle rivers, deep canyons and thick rain forest brimming with exotic flora and fauna, Chiapas is the heartland of the ancient Mayan world. The southern-most state of Mexico, lying between Oaxaca and Guatemala, Chiapas developed and thrived in ancient times as the crossroads between Teotihuacan (Mexico City), the Yucatan Peninsula and Central America. Join us as we experience the rich heritage, crafts and cuisine of the vibrant Maya culture and the spirit of its modern descendants.
