Getting there & away
The road to Reforma Agraria turns west off the Carretera Fronteriza 8km south of Benemérito. It’s paved as far as Pico de Oro (25km from the highway), then mostly unpaved for 16km. Beyond Reforma Agraria the road continues unpaved for 33km to rejoin the Carretera Fronteriza 5km south of Chajul. It’s normally perfectly passable (if very jarring in places) in an ordinary car, but in the rainy season you should ask ahead about its condition.
From a small terminal near the Maya Head statue in Palenque, hourly combisrun to Pico de Oro (M$92, four to five hours), leaving from 8am to 4pm. Occasional camionetas also run from Benemérito to Pico de Oro (M$25, 40 minutes). Camionetas run from Pico de Oro to Reforma Agraria (M$15, one hour), and vice versa, about hourly from 6am or 7am till early afternoon. A taxi from Benemérito to Reforma Agraria costs around M$200.
From Comitán, around eight vans a day run to Reforma Agraria (M$150, 4½ hours), passing through the Lagos de Montebello en route.
