Strategic region since it is the most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the country and was decreed in 1998 as a natural area for the protection of flora and fauna. The area spills across the Usumacinta River into Guatemala from Mexico’s southernmost state, Chiapas.

It is known for the extraordinary diversity of its flora and fauna. The region also holds some of the last viable populations of emblematic endangered species, such as the jaguar, the white-lipped peccary, the Central American tapir, the scarlet macaw and the white turtle.

The Montes Azules reserve is the best preserved part and in order to explore it you need equipment, training, experience guide and authorization.

If you are adventurous and a nature lover, this place will captivate you, since you can overcome the rapids of a river, or take a canoe ride in one of its lagoons quietly enjoying all its majestic beauty. This is so Indiana Jones experience.

Another of its great attractions is that you can live with its inhabitants, ancient Lacandon communities that have wonderfully preserved all their ancestral traditions. Inside the jungle, there are several archaeological remains that will surprise you, starting with Bonampak, which has amazing murals.
