Lagos de Montebello



A couple of youth paddle by on a makeshift raft dragging fishing lines through the turquoise water. A couple women are spending the afternoon washing clothes. Not a building is in sight on the opposite shore of this remote local.

To get away from it all for a day, Jorge and I headed to the Lagos of Montebello region of Chiapas near the Guatemala border.

A coffee cooperative in the village of Tziscao, where Choj is spoken, wants a website and we needed to present possibilities.

I was more interested in swimming with some of the local youth and basking in the sun by the largest of the Montebello Lakes.

I am going to write up a travel article for this area soon with more photos, but for now, these will have to do.
