Itinerary
The Lacandon Jungle is located in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The region is populated by the Lacandon Mayan people, hence its name. At the beginning of 1990, the jungle had approximately 200,000 people distributed among 200 indigenous communities (Tojolabales, Choles, Tzeltales, Tzotziles, among others) .1 This became notorious with the appearance of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation in 1994. The vegetation cover in the Lacandon Forest is highly diverse at the level of species, communities and ecosystems. In particular, the Lacandon Community shows one of the largest extensions in the country of high evergreen forests, one of the most complex and diverse ecosystems known, but at the same time, one of the most vulnerable and fragile to human manipulation.
Lacanja Chansayab, is a Lacandon subcommunity that bases its subsistence on the natural resources provided by the biodiversity of the Blue Mountains, the only natural site inhabited by the Mayan descendants, who still preserve their cultural traditions, faithful guardians of the vestiges of the Mayan culture. In this magical and exclusive place is the Rio Lacanja Camp, where we offer lodging and food services in the middle of a natural environment and surrounded by exuberant vegetation. The camp has cabins on the riverbank, restaurant, visitor center, swimming area, sale of handicrafts, satellite internet, and an interpretive trail where you will learn more about this fragile ecosystem.

About Palenque
Palenque is a small town in Chiapas beside a Maya city of temples and a palace set on a rainforest hillside, near the waterfalls of Misol-Ha and Agua Azul.
The Maya city of Palenque reached its height in the seventh century, in a hillside of rainforest in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Its stone buildings, with steep pyramids, roof combs and carved stucco, are a World Heritage site. The Temple of the Inscriptions, a stepped pyramid, holds the tomb of the ruler K'inich Janaab' Pakal, found inside in 1952, and the Palace, with its tower, stands in the heart of the site.
