Lagos de Montebello

Less than an hour's drive from Comitan, on the border with Guatemala, are the Lagos de Montebello (Lakes of Montebello).
There are over 50 lakes here, one of which is half in Mexican Territory and half in Guatemalan; around 8 of the lakes are easily accessible via some roads and lots of vehicle tracks that run through the forest surrounding the lakes.
At the western edge of this lake district you'll find the impressive and worth-while Mayan Ruins of Chinkultic: see the Mexperience Guide and Photo Gallery for details.
You can arrange a tour of the lakes from Comitan or (further away from here) San Cristobal de las Casas, although if you have a rental car, you can explore this area most effectively, take your time in the areas you want to see more of and travel at your preferred pace.
The lakes themselves are well worth experiencing; they all reflect turquoise blues and greens, and coupled with the scenic backdrop of the surrounding mountains and forests, the area is great for a whole day's exploration.
You can bring your own food and drink, or eat locally at one of the many food stalls, cafes and restaurants dotted around the main lakes.
Small boats and makeshift rafts, made from tree trunks tied together are available for hire at most of the larger lakes, in case you want to go out on the water and get a view from the lakes themselves. Ask locally for details and barter your price as fees are not fixed.
It's an easy day-trip from Comitan, although if you're not staying in Comitan, you may want to consider staying there or at nearby Museo Parador Santa Maria to really have enough time to enjoy the lakes fully during daylight hours and make your journey less tiring.
You are allowed to bathe in the lakes, so if you like swimming in natural waters, pack your swimming gear, although changing facilities are limited, so you'll have to 'rough it' in that respect.
If you're traveling in this area, the Lakes of Montebello are well worth a day trip. The lakes have a calm, serene and relaxing atmosphere; the air is sweet and pure, and even during busy times, because of the expanse of the area, you'll always be able to find a quiet corner to just contemplate, surrounded by some of nature's most wonderful creations.

Chiflón

The Chiflón Falls are surrounded by canefields, mountains and jungle. The Bride’s Veil (Velo de Novia), the most impressive waterfall at the site, is a curtain of water formed by the tumbling San Vicente River. This flows into turquoise pools ideal for swimming.

Comitán de Domínguez.

Inside the Culural House

The cultural city of Chiapas is Comitán. A city full of testimonies to its many centuries of history and replete with gardens. Walking through its streets means returning to its colorful past, while taking in the fragrance of its flowers. One should not neglect to visit the famous neighborhood of Seven Corners (las Siete Esquinas), a section with its own special characteristics, where many examples of the traditional culture of the natives of Comitán are preserved. Two of famous mexicans were born here, Belizario Dominguez (a politician who revolutionated the mexican senate during the Revolution in 1909 and the famous writer Rosario Castellanos, known for her sadistic style and defender of the indigenous rights).

San Juan Chamula

A community of Tzotzil-Maya Indians, the name of which means “Thick Water”, it has become well-known because of the participation of its inhabitants (“Chamulas”) in syncretistic rituals with singular devotion and solemnity. It is important not to take photos within the village, though one may outside of it, but never of the religious authorities. If one takes pictures of the townspeople, one must do so with respect and with their permission.

Zinacantán

The Tzotzil name means “Place of Bats”. The sacred spaces that make up this place are marked by hills that surround a small valley and the complex formed by the Church of San Lorenzo and the chapels dedicated to the Christ of Esquipulas and Saint Sebastian. The community museum Sna Jsotz’Lebetik (Home to Bats) is a traditional building made of mud and straw, where the cultural hoard of the natives of Zinacatán is presented in synthesis. Guides are provided for visitors, and local craftsmen demonstrate their way of working.

San Cristóbal de las Casas.

The old core of this stately and unforgettable city is the setting for thousands of legends and, as many of its visitors have said, it is one of the world’s most romantic places in a magical city.
