I grew up with the traditions and legends of indigenous and mestizo peoples of Chiapas, where I come from. I learned them from my grandparents, parents and later, during my university career, I delved into diferent historical and social aspects. I also lived a historical moment in my town, witnessing the armed revolution of the EZLN (Zapatistas). My passion for traditions and legends continues to be more and more alive and I enjoy sharing it with visitors from Chiapas. I have shared it for 10 years, receiving very positive comments.

Our tour with Rudy en San Juan de Chamula and Zinacantan was one of the highlights of our five weeks trip in Mexico for sure. He is an incredible guide. He gave us so much information on the communities we visited. He shows so much respect to them and their rituals and beliefs. He knows the history of Chiapas very well. He is very friendly, funny and it was a true pleasure to spend the day with him. We feel very lucky for this special experience and highly recommend it!

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Rudi qui connait et aime sa région et ses coutumes. Nous avons appris beaucoup sur l histoire et les habitudes des habitants de Chamula et Zinacantan. Nous avons partagé avec lui un très bon moment de convivialité avec le repas. Merci aussi d avoir convié Karine qui a fait une excellente traductrice. De très belles rencontres.

I highly recommend this tour of Chamula and Zinacantan! Over the course of 5 hours, we learned so much about Chiapas, Mayan culture and the syncretism between catholicism and Mayan beliefs. This was the perfect way to end our 2 weeks in Chiapas. Rudy was not only extremely knowledgeable, he was also very kind and understanding. Unlike other tours, this did not feel rushed. We had plenty of time to visit and ask questions. Food-wise: We stopped for hot chocolate for breakfast and went to a restaurant with delicious food (and an amazing view over Chamula).
