A Modern Journey into the Past, Chiapas Beckons

An essay in photos. Remembering a fourteen-hour bus ride across Mexico to the colonial Mayan town of San Cristobal de Las Casas, San Juan Chamula on one side and a challenging bus ride to Palenque on the other. A modern journey into the past.

Such evocative photos: earthy, charming, awe-inspiring, with the old and new melding beautifully, reminding us that we are all one. Thank you for these, Daniel Cano; and thanks to La Bloga for edifying us.
