Comitán de Domínguez, located in the state of Chiapas, is the oldest city of the region, founded in 1528, and it is considered to be a Magic Town that echoes the colonial voices of the pre-Colombus era; this is the birthplace of Dr.
Belisario Domínguez and writer Rosario Castellanos.
The most important festivities take place during the month of February, honouring the saint patron San Caralampio; this popular celebration is very peculiar, as you will see children running around the main plazas and streets with masks carved in wood resembling symbolisms of their patron.
During these parties, you will definitely have the chance to try the broad gastronomy of the state.
We recommend you to try “chalupas” (stuffed tortillas), butifarra (Catalan sausage), pitual, patsito and “lengua en pebre” (tongue stew with mild vinegar sauce).
Don’t worry about the strange names because we assure you that everything will taste absolutely delicious.
If you are looking for refreshments, try the fruit drink Tzilacayote, sweetened with a hint of brown sugar.
In front of the Junchavín Theatre, you can board the touristic streetcar that will take you through the steep streets of the region, allowing you to discover the most representative architectural achievements of Comitán.
One of the most important monuments is the Santo Domingo de Guzmán Temple, El Calvario, San Sebastián and San José.

The Mayan remains lie within 2 interesting cities.
The first one is called Chinkultic, and it is have been barely excavated, filled with natural wells; it is a true architectural complex that counts with an acropolis at the top of the hill, where a spectacular view awaits you.
