Our Favourite Restaurantes

This restaurant has the most amazing ambiance. It has windows all around that show off the forest and the gardens that it is set in. They serve amazing local Chiapeneco food gourmet style at super reasonable prices. It is a great experience to dine here. Their most complete breakfast option includes coffee/tea (including refills), hand made tortillas, fruit, a fruit or veggie juice, and your main dish from $95 to $130 MXN. The dinner menu is a little pricier but still extremely reasonable for the value and the experience provided. We highly recommend you treating yourself to this food experience. Please note that they close at 6 pm (1800h) everyday.

If you are looking for a fun spot to spend an evening, this is it!! You get a free "Tapa" with each drink and have a choice of lots of different dishes that pair well with the extensive beer and wine list. There is usually some live music playing on the street in front where you can sit on the terrace and enjoy!! Have fun!

This is a great concept for a Local restaurant!! They serve locally grown and organic food from local recipes, and while you wait for the delicious food, you can browse their array of locally made artisan crafts. The owners of this restaurant are intimately linked to the Indigenous communities of Chiapas and are super interesting people to chat with if you get a chance to meet them. They sell the local goods with no profit to themselves and seek to promote the Indigenous people altruistically. Try the Sopa de Pan!!! It is amazing!!

The owners of this restaurant are passionate supporters of the local indigenous artisans and populations in uncountable ways. The restaurant is full of local artisan objects for sale and the food is sourced from local farmers. The menu is full of typical Chiapenco dishes and drinks. Don´t miss this one!

Although it is a little hard to get to, if you love Plant Medicine and the powers of Mother Nature, it is worth getting yourself there. It is also a great way of supporting the local indigenous groups that are working with Plant Medicine. Take time to walk through the gardens and feel the Magic! They sell different potions, including one for diarrhea and stomach ailments due to parasites! Always something good to have on hand while traveling!

My Favorite Activities

Great place to have a picnic and to explore the caves... we would recommend that you pay the extra to go deeper into the bottom caves... definitely worth the extra 35 pesos!!

Great place to take a picnic lunch to, nice palapa over picnic tables provided by the river. You can rent a rowboat or go into the caves for 10 pesos. As well, there is a Zipline for 100 pesos. There is a soccer field and swings and slides for the children. It is set in a beautiful location and apparently there are some kms of walking trails as well that we want to explore next time we go!

Great day trip! There is a restaurant where you can eat decent food at a decent price. You can swim in the turquoise water and hike up to the falls on well developed, but steep, trails. There are two zip lines that look like a lot of fun!!

A great adventure to take a boat down the river to see this Canyon in Tuxtla!! You can often see Howler Monkies and Crocodiles!! The walls reach up to 1 km high in places!! Unfortunately, the river is full of plastic bottles... try to keep looking up and it will be amazing!!

This is a friend of ours who offers birdwatching clients guided tours on natural areas protected and administered by the local people and private landowners of the communities in Chiapas. Sabes Aves tours also give the visitor a chance to meet and have direct contact with the people and culture of the regions we will visit, including other activities with them.
