It was a special privilege to be allowed to witness the rituals of the tzotzil at iglesia de San Juan Chamula. A very special and moving experience. The guide was respectful and extremely informative. Learning about the Labour involved in the creation of textiles in Zinacantàn was really interesting and the women at the collective were so very lovely.

Fascinating to see how the textiles are woven in Zinacantan. Lots of beautiful items to buy. You know that everything is genuinely made by hand and you are supporting a local Co-operative. Chamula was a fantastic experience. We were there on Easter Sunday so there was a lot of rituals taking place inside the church. I loved the whole trip and our guide Miguel was excellent.

A different visit! We went to San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan. In both there is beautiful craftsmanship and speak Tsotsil, they retain much of the customs of their ancestors. San Juan Chamula caught our eye. The syncretism comes into view, a mixture of religions and a visible hermeticism in your temple is what makes your visit extremely interesting. They allow you to take videos or photographs outside the church, inside they even fine you if you get to do it. We were respectful and limited to knowing a little more about their customs. The townspeople are friendly, all wearing their typical costumes sticking out skirts and pure wool coats. Zinacantán is a picturesque and more flexible village that chamula have a beauty of crafts especially textile made in looms, or hand embroidered.
