Chiapas - Lonely Planet

Chilly pine-forest highlands, sultry rainforest jungles and attractive colonial cities exist side by side within Mexico's southernmost states, a region awash with the legacy of Spanish rule and the remnants of ancient Maya civilization. Palenque and Yaxchilan are evocative vestiges of powerful Maya kingdoms, and the presence of modern Maya is a constant reminder of the region's rich and uninterrupted history.

Chiapas and Tabasco Guide - Rough Guides

Although they're very different states â Chiapas is mountainous, and Tabasco is steamy lowlands â we group them together here, as travellers will usually pass through one or both en route to the YucatÃ¡n. Endowed with a stunning variety of cultures, landscapes and wildlife, Chiapas has much to tempt visitors, but the biggest draw is how many indigenous traditions survive intact, as well as how much pristine wilderness exists.
