where will you be on 12-21-12
CHIAPAS
Anyone ever been to Chiapas. I am planning ahead for next December, and want to spend the 21st hanging around at some Mayan ruins somewhere or other.
Looks like Volaris only flies to Oaxaca.

It has been several years but I spent a couple weeks there back in 2004. I too checked out some of the ruins and explored the countryside. I would
do it again in a heartbeat. I think when I went we flew to Oaxaca and then took a smaller commuter flight to Ocosingo?

Wouldn't you think there would be all kinds of special flights, special prices, one way? Time to shop for sure.

Spent years around San Cristobal de Las Casas, and Lagos de Montebello. Check out the MAYABEL campground in Palenque as a long term hangout. it's
gonna be a freakin' zoo! "Uh hey man, uh hey you wanna, you know, like score some shrooms?" i would get there early. At my age I probably would get a
room in Palenque town a month in advance and then be there to make sure it hasn't been rented out several more times.

Brings back memories, walked across the Bridge into
Mex from Guatemala yrs. back, I think the Mex city was Tapachula, before the internet
there was so little info on places things to see, just
some out of date travel book, I missed a lot . Wonder how many US Gringo types of travellers still get out and wander.
although things were different then, like a
decent room in Guat was $2.50, lots of Euros there,
they may be a little more adventerous than us
in the US

I expect I could camp for a couple of days somewhere if needed.
I will fly down, so no car. Is Chiapas much like Baja, no one cares where you camp? Would you recomend a hammock or tent for this trip? Have yet to
check the weather, not to cold?
