Chiapas (pt2)

There is a different atmosphere in Chiapas. Outside of the main tourist attractions there seems to be a lot of tension in the air.

San Cristobal is a picturesque city, but it is overrun by tourists and stores selling jade jewlery.

One day was enough for me and I continued south for Guatemala.

The border crossing into Guatemala at La Mesilla was relatively easy once I found the right building. The border town is chaotic but I didn’t have any problems with the border officials on either side.
