The six of us were impressed by the scope of the itinerary, the variety of experiences and the professional way in which the tour was conducted. The accommodations were well chosen and very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>We so enjoyed the luxury of sitting back and relaxing as each new day unfolded. And each day brought a new adventure \u2014 thanks to our wonderful guide, Javier. His knowledge of Maya history, architecture and culture is extensive and his fluency in English is remarkable. He was patient, unhurried and always courteous. He went out of his way to make sure that we had a positive experience and came away with a deeper knowledge of the Maya people&#8217;s past and their lives today.<\/p>\n<p>This was a trip I&#8217;ll never forget. I had an extraordinary experience in Chiapas and Yucatan and hope to return to continue to study and improve my Spanish! In a very significant way the success of it was due to the excellent service and professionalism provided by CalNative.<\/p>\n<p>Best Regards,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"guest_author\">Mardis Nenno<\/span><br \/>\nInstructor, Fine Arts<br \/>\nSchool of Design and Construction<br \/>\nSpokane Falls Community College<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4634\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4634\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-agua-azul.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4634\" alt=\"Agua Azul Falls in Chiapas\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-agua-azul.jpg\" width=\"490\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-agua-azul.jpg 490w, http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-agua-azul-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-agua-azul-399x300.jpg 399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4634\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beautiful Aqua Azul Falls in the Mexican state of Chiapas are located 40 miles from the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Palenque.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4637\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4637\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-weaver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-weaver.jpg\" alt=\"Weaver in Chiapas\" width=\"490\" height=\"378\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4637\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-weaver.jpg 490w, http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-weaver-300x231.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-weaver-388x300.jpg 388w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young lady weaves patterns on a hand loom in Mexico&#8217;s state of Chiapas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4640\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4640\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-san-cristobal-marke.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-san-cristobal-marke.jpg\" alt=\"Market in San Cristobal de las Casas\" width=\"490\" height=\"368\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-san-cristobal-marke.jpg 490w, http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-san-cristobal-marke-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chiapas-san-cristobal-marke-399x300.jpg 399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunday is market day in the lovely town of San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico&#8217;s Chiapas state.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We appreciate it when our guests share their stories with us and allow us to post them on our blog.
