Puerto Chiapas is a good starting point for Archeological excursions, as there are a great number of Aztec, Inca, Mayan and earlier Civilization artifacts in the state of Chiapas...lots of pyramids...and lots of Vulcanoes. One very tall cone towers at the horizon beyond the coastal flats.
Chiapas is also famous for the best coffee in Mexico, as well as for absolutely great 'homemade' chocolate..all grown in this Mexican state.
I took the shuttle bus to 'town' and wandered through the busy markets and the town square in paralysing heat.
Everything, from piles of dead chickens, fruit, vegetables, plastic everything could be had on the markets, where some stalls were so small - there was only a chair and something like a hat stand covered with goods for sale. One could hardly squeeze through the throng of people and sales stands.
And across the street, the 'Palacio de Bodas' (Wedding Palace), one of many over-the-top wedding shops which display the most elaborate wedding gowns known to humankind. Glitzy enough to stand out during a carnival parade or a beauty pageant.
