Description

Discover the stunning landscapes of Chiapas, Mexico and learn all about the culture of this region. During one whole day, we’ll take you mountain biking through beautiful mountains and forests and stop at some of the iconic indigenous villages of Chiapas. Join us!

Chiapas is the southernmost state in Mexico. It shares a border with Guatemala and was home to the Mayas. There are still many indigenous groups that descend from the Mayas and keep their traditions intact. Chiapas is also a state full of natural attractions to explore, such as the Sumidero Canyon, the Lagunas de Monte Bello, Palenque, and many others.

For this tour, we can either leave from Tuxtla Gutierrez or San Cristóbal de las Casas. We’ll then begin the 32 moderate, single-track terrain kilometers of this adventure. We’ll visit two magical indigenous villages along the way: San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán. San Juan Chamula is a small town inhabited by Tzotzil, a Mayan indigenous group. You’ll be able to learn all about their traditions and culture and visit the dazzling Church of San Juan Bautista, full of vibrant colors. We’ll then stop at Zinacantán for a traditional quesadilla.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
