Río Celeste Maya, Chiapas, México
Just down the road from Las Nubes outside of the ejido Gallo Giro sits Rio Celeste Maya, a more economical option to Las Nubes. As with Las Nubes, the land in the care of Río Celeste Maya, along with a few extremely basic cabins (essentially wooden shacks), is situated right on the river, albeit on a pleasantly quieter part. If Las Nubes is upscale, Río Celeste Maya is roughing it, but really all this means is that you will be…

Las Nubes, Chiapas, México
Las Nubes (The Clouds) is an area which affords you access to views of one of the most beautiful rivers with cascades and rapids that you might ever see.

We went during one of the busiest tourist weekends of the entire year, Semana Santa, and we still enjoyed ourselves…

All you do is cross to the other side of the canal or river. There is a parking area next to…

Laguna Miramar, Chiapas, México
If you had told me there was a heaven and asked me what it included, I would have told you that it came with an ocean, with nice waves near the shore to body surf in and a soft beach where the sand didn’t burn your feet. After spending time in the water at Laguna Miramar, I think I’ve changed my mind. I now believe it probably would include something along the lines of this lake in the western part of Chiapas, Mexico. After…
