I really enjoyed this tour, first of all because I felt really safe, me at the moment traveling solo, and second of all because of the gorgeous scenery!!! I couldn't recommend it more, if you really want to know the true meaning of the customs and rituals of the locals. Thank you Rudy for the generous hospitality in San Cristóbal! Will definitely come back!.
A unique cultural experience!

Had an excellent experience on the textiles and mysticism tour with Rudy. He was very knowledgeable about the history and practices of the indigenous people of Chiapas, we learned a lot! Seeing the rituals performed in the church of Chamula was my favorite part. He even took us to a local cantina restaurant once we got back to San Cristobal. The restaurant manager was so happy to have tourists in his restaurant they brought us a round of Mezcalinas! 🍹
We enjoyed talking with...

Our guide Rudy did an incredible job for which we are grateful. This tour allowed us to visit native Mayans in their homes where they taught us the process of weaving and creating their indigenous clothing, while allowing us to weave using a backstrap loom, and trying on traditional clothing. The families were kind and forthcoming about their culture and craft. Rudy’s explanation of the what we saw at the San Juan Baptiste Church in Chamula was thoughtful and complete. We felt honored to have experienced this. A day that will always be remembered.
