Wildlife of the Lacandon Rainforest
Backpacking in the rainforest of Chiapas was an amazing experience. The sound of howler monkeys is pretty much ubiquitous anywhere in the jungle, and it is very intense. The area near Bonampak was particularly impressive, with gigantic trees and hidden ruins. There is also a rich indigenous Mayan culture. This definitely ranks with Oaxaca City as a "must experience" in Mexico!
