Best Campsite Ever (but the neighbors are kinda noisy) – Las Guacamayas, Chiapas, Mexico
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 12 May 2011
Las Nubes The rough road that leads to Las Nubes in Chiapas, Mexico almost got the better of us, but we finally reached this collection of 18 wooden cabins and a nice camping area on the banks of the Santo Domingo River. The river drops here creating a series of rapids and swimming holes which are the main attraction. When water levels are normal the water is clear and blue and you can swim in the refreshing pools. During our visit we were afraid to even approach the bank and walking across a footbridge over the churning whitewater and tumbling rapids was heart-pounding.

Las Guacamayas (Scarlet Macaws) – Photo of the Day
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 30 July 2010
We spent the past week driving around the the Carretara Fronteriza, a road in the far corner of Chiapas that follows the Guatemalan border. This road encircles the Lacandon Jungle and includes several national parks and the enormous and pristine Monte Azul Biosphere Reserve which is one of the most bio-diverse areas in all of North America. The region is also one of the last places in North and Central America that supports a thriving population of wild scarlet macaws.
