Overview

We present two of the most representative Carnivals in the Zoque Zone of Chiapas. Choose one in your reservation. They are on different dates.

1. San Fernando - February 14th. GET YOUR CAMERA READY!
2. COITA - February 15th. The most colorful Carnival in Chiapas!

All the activity takes place in the streets, and we'll mingle with the masses of people. It's chaotic and intense. Not recommended for young children. We'll visit the Cohinas (Traditional Houses) and witness ceremonies that make them unique.

The experience is more than just visual: it becomes unforgettable thanks to my explanations about the roots of the customs and the legends you'll hear. Thanks to that, you'll see it from a different perspective. It's not just a parade or a mask: there's a lot of history and faith behind it.
