The most sought-after adventures in Chiapas are located in the deep jungle, but the small colonial towns are appealing in their own right, and can be an excellent base to explore the rest of the region, relax or learn more about the rich history of Southern Mexico.

A collection of our favourite memories from Mexico:
White towns of Al Andalus: top 4 for a daytrip
Once the last frontier of Christian Europe, the snow-white towns sitting atop the rolling hills of Southern Spain are a charming contrast to the hustle and bustle of Seville, Granada and Cordoba. Filled with history and traditions, these towns and villages offer an authentic off the beaten path experience. The towns are not the easiest […]
Guadix and its cave houses: a quick escape from Granada
No one can deny the splendour of Granada and the magnificent Alhambra, but those who want a break from countless tourists can head to the nearby and much more laid-back district of Guadix. The eroded landscape around Guadix alone is enough to justify a visit, but you should not miss the numerous cave dwellings, emblematic […]
Granada: The roots of flamenco
Rich in history and culture, Granada is one of the top tourist destinations in Spain and one of the most vibrant university towns in Andalusia. In addition to the impressive Alhambra, the city is a stone throw’s away from the Sierra Nevada, which offers great skiing options in the winter and great hikes in the […]
El Rocío: Horse haven and marshes
The sleepy town of El Rocío is like something out of a Wild West movie. Here, the neighing horses replace the sound of busy traffic, sand replaces the tarmac of busy cities, and horse-tying sticks replace parking spaces. At night, when horsemen come back from their fields, they stop at the tall tables at the […]

Cordoba was probably one of the most populous cities in the world in its heyday (in the 10th century). And though today it is a much smaller city, Cordoba is […]
Antequera: The land of bandits and romance
Boasting a history dating to the prehistoric era, Antequera is a hidden gem between the tourist hotspots of Malaga and Granada. A city with a white village charm and more churches than you would expect in a place this size (33 to be exact!). What’s more, the town is surrounded by some of the most […]
The Alhambra palace: The jewel in the crown
Overlooking the city of Granada from the majestic Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra is one of Spain‘s top attractions – and rightly so. For centuries, this saffron castle has been inspiring artists from all over the world – some of the best guitar compositions and poetry were written with the Alhambra in mind. One day inside […]
Mundo Perdido or the Lost World of Timor-Leste
For a weekend trip out of Timor-Leste’s capital Dili, one can travel back in time to the Jurassic period while walking through the thick foliage of Mundo Perdido (literally, ‘Lost World’) Protected Area. Ancient succulents, thick forests, and sharp rocks rising through the soil are home to several shy wild animals such as snakes and […]
