SUMMER 2022 (Part 2: Chiapas)

Originally this trip was planned with my friend Luis for summer 2020. Unfortunately the pandemic arrived and sadly my friend Luis passed away from Covid-19 complications. Once traveling was allowed, his brother Jorge and I decided we needed to make the trip in Luis' memory. 

If Oaxaca is a state filled with color, music, and folklore, Chiapas is a state filled with nature, archeology, and mysticism. 

We spent so much time traveling from place to place, hiking, swimming, eating indigenous food, drinking artesanales drinks, climbing pyramids (where permitted), visiting churches (when allowed), and so much more, that uploading all my images would take a very long time. 

One of our tours took us all the way to the Guatemalan Border where we ate some of the local food. 

And of course, we ended up buying some great pieces of hand-made art. In this case, wooden masks.

At the end, we paid tribute to our now gone friend Luis, and Miguel and I solidify our friendship with Luis' brother, Jorge. 

May you rest in peace, dear Luis

Next stop: Italy!
