The better place that you should visit is Palenque, here you can learn about the culture in Chiapas. There you must use hot clothes because it’s a very hot place, it has hotels where you can rest and eat in the restaurants. This place is cultural but you can buy more things like necklaces, bracelets, etc. One of the most important things to remember is that these places are a cultural and we should take care of because is a patrimony for the people that live there and for the world. One thing visitors often don't realize is throw them garbage and destroy the constructions because it is a patrimony of the humanity

Chiapas is a nice place in the south of Mexico, in this place, you can find some animals, and you can look some jungles… One of the most important things to remember is going to visit to San Cristobal City… this place is very cold in the winter, and in the summer, the weather is nice but a little cold, so if you go, Dress properly.
This city is a colonial place, where you can find some crafts and you can eat the most delicious food in the south of the country…its gastronomy, is based on foods such as pork and vegetables… now, this city is considered cultural heritage of the humanity, due to your architecture, your food, your crafts and your ethnic groups…also by their traditions… so if you do not forget to bring your camera to take pictures and money to buy some gifts to give to friends.Another thing to keep is mind is the archaeological zones that are in this beautiful state; the principal attraction for the people is Palenque and Bonampak. Palenque is a place where you can see the principals Mayan temples… Several investigations indicate that Palenque was the most powerful Maya city of all time, and also in this city lived the powerful Maya governor: The king PAKAL II… (Son of the Sun and the moon, according to priests and Mayan mythology). In Bonampak, you can look at the murals of Mayan culture, which have remained for many years with their original colors…One thing visitors often don't realize is that the capital (Tuxtla Gutierrez) is a city where there are many shops and you can go shopping at the malls that exist in the commercial area of the city. In conclusion, Chiapas is a natural paradise, hidden in the south of the country ... see and know Chiapas!
