When we finished up in Palenque we caught a bus to San Cristobal de Las Casas, a beautiful town sitting at 2220 metres above sea level. The temperature here is a lot more moderate- to the extent that we've needed jumpers at night. We've spent 4 nights here and have done some riding in the hills for some training. We visited a town by the name of Chamula and witnessed some incredible religious praying, blessing and sacrificing. No photos, as it is disrespectful and many of the traditional Mayas still believe photos take their soul. It was a very moving experience.
We took a day trip to Canyon del Sumidreo, a beautiful waterway with plenty of wildlife including birds, monkeys and crocodiles.
Tomorrow we venture off on a 90 km ride back through the mountains to Ocosingo...should be good.
