We began the last day of sightseeing on our Chiapas trip with Road Scholar with a cruise in the Sumidero Canyon near Chiapa de Corzo city. Lots of interesting things to see.

 

A Colorful Morning in San Cristobal de las Casas

 In a museum, and on the street.

Sergio Castro Museum

 Museo de Trajes Regionales de Sergio Castro is a museum in San Cristóbal de las Casas. It's a one-man show, and Sr. Castro regales visitors with his encyclopedic knowledge of the cultural meaning of the clothing and other artifacts that he has collected.

Indigenous Towns in Chiapas

 Indigenous Towns in Chiapas zealously guard their cultural roots and independence. We went to two - San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan - and were treated nicely, since we were careful to obey their restrictions.

Pieces Along the Way

 I don't remember where these photos were taken - probably at a lunch stop on our drive though the mountains to San Cristobal de las Casas.

Across the Mountains to San Cristobal de las Casas

 A long but scenic drive. The pictures were taken at rest stops.
