Ua ʻike ka poʻe hele wāwae he waiwai pau ʻole ka mokuʻāina ʻo Chiapas i nā mea hoihoi no ka poʻe e ʻimi ana i ka maʻemaʻe o ka ʻāina, nā meheu o ka mōʻaukala a me ka leʻaleʻa pono ʻole o ka hoʻokipa. ʻO Mosaic o ka wai a me ka ululāʻau, o nā mauna pine a me nā kahakai me nā mangrove.
ʻĀina o ka hoʻohiwahiwa millenary a me ka hōʻike o nā moʻomeheu kūpuna. He paʻakikī e hele ma waena o kāna panalāʻau a hoʻi ʻole, no ka mea aia mau nā mea pūʻiwa e ʻike ai a me nā hālāwai e hoʻokō ai.
Ma waho o Agua Azul a me Palenque, ka Cañón del Sumidero a i ʻole San Cristóbal de las Casas, he palapala huakaʻi ʻo Chiapas i kākau ʻole ʻia, ʻo ke almanac wale nō o kāna mau hoʻolauleʻa e kuhikuhi ana i 300 mau wahi ʻokoʻa, ʻaneʻane hoʻokahi i kēlā me kēia lā. A pehea e pili ana i kāna mau panakō he nui, kona mau ala archaeological, kona piko a me nā chasms, e huakaʻi a mākaʻikaʻi i ke ola holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka lepo o Chiapas i ulana ʻia e ʻeono mau wahi ʻāina, hui pū ʻia ma lalo o ka mea like akā me nā ʻano kino ʻokoʻa. Ua like kēlā me kēia wahi me kahi mokuʻāina kaʻawale, i noho ʻia e nā lāhui like ʻole.
No laila, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaka me ka kahakai kahakai, ma laila e pili ana i ka Moana Pākīpika, me 303 km o nā kahakai kai ākea, nā kahawai a me nā kahawai mangrove e pili ana i nā wahi o ka nani nui e like me Boca del Cielo, Barra Zacapulco, Playa Azul a me Puerto Arista, e haʻi i kekahi o nā wahi i ʻike ʻia e nā kamaʻāina.
Ma ke kahakai he mau kūlanakauhale hoihoi pū kekahi e like me Huhuetán, ke "kūlanakauhale kahiko"; ʻO Tuxtla Chico, kahi kaona kiʻi, kahi noho o ka kontroversial "Jalada de Patos", kahi hanana kaulana e hui pū me nā lio me ka mōhai o kēia mau manu, a me ke kapakai kahakai nani, ʻo Tapachula, kahi e hui pū ai ʻo Mexico a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
I ka Sierra Madre ka Tacaná, "ka hale kukui o ka Hema", me 4,000 mau mika ma luna aʻe o ka ʻilikai, ke aupuni. Ma kona mau wāwae ʻo Unión Juárez e hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mahiʻai kope, kahi e kū ai ʻo Santo Domingo, i kēia manawa hāmama a maʻalahi hoʻi no ka poʻe makemake e ʻike i ka moʻaukala o ke kofe e ulu nei ma Chiapas. Nui ka Sierra holoʻokoʻa i nā wailele a me nā mālama kūlohelohe, ʻoiai aia kekahi mau kūlanakauhale me kahi ʻano leʻaleʻa e like me Motozintla a i ʻole El Porvenir, kahi e hau ai ka hau i nā kahawai.
Ma ka ʻāina o ke kaumaha waena, ka ʻāina o ka muliwai Grijalva ikaika, nui nā kahawai o nā wai crystalline a ma nā kapa e piʻi ana nā kūlanakauhale i waiwai i ka mōʻaukala a me nā kuʻuna e like me Acala, Tecpatán, Copainalá a me nā wahi o nā kahawai nui o ke ala kahiko. mai Chiapas a Guatemala e like me nā Coneta, Aquespala a me Copanahuastla.
Ma ka moku ʻo Los Altos, ka panalāʻau o Chiapas Maya i hala aku nei, noho like ʻole nā Tzotziles a me Tzeltales, kēlā me kēia me ko lākou lole a me nā loina ʻē i nā mea o ko lākou mau hoanoho, me nā ʻahaʻaina a me nā hoʻolauleʻa e haʻalulu a ʻokoʻa ke kani i kēlā me kēia kaona: Chenalhó a me Mitontic, Chanal a me Oxchuc, Chalchihuitán a i ʻole Larráinzar, Chamula a me Zinacantán, pili loa a ʻokoʻa loa hoʻi.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Northern Mountains a me ke Kai Kūʻono ʻo Gulf, ʻo ia ka honua o ka pōhaku a me ka wai, ʻo ia ka wahi o ka lua pele Chichón a me kāna mau mea pohihihi a pau. I kēia wahi kihi liʻiliʻi o Chiapas, aia ʻo Simojovel, me nā kaha o ka amber i nui i nā insect petrified. A i ke kuahiwi i hoʻomaʻalili ʻia e nā makani Kolo, nui nā wailele a me nā kaona maikaʻi e like me Jitotol, Tapilula a me Rayón. ʻO ke ala wili e lawe iā ʻoe i Pueblo Nuevo Solistahuacán kahi e loaʻa ai nā chasms hohonu a mamao iki aku, ma ke kaona liʻiliʻi o Chapultenango kahi luakini Dominican temple i wāwahi ʻia.
Ma ka hopena haʻalele mākou i ka wahi nahele, kahi o nā kaona ʻo Lacandon a me nā kūlanakauhale Maya kahiko e kali nei e ʻike ʻia, kahi wahi o nā loko wai maikaʻi a me nā paradisa ʻike ʻole ʻia he nui nā moʻolelo e haʻi aku no nā mea aloha kūlohelohe a me nā huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻole. ʻike lākou i ka Chiapas, ʻaʻole pau nā haʻohaʻo a me nā huakaʻi.
