Conclusion


The best trip in my life
Chiapas is the most beautiful place that I have visited. I have had the opportunity to know many places which have amazing things to talk about but Chiapas, this interesting and cultural place left me a lot of reasons by which I would return
I had the great memory of people that become an important element in this trip. When I arrived at the huge, crowded and noisy bus station I immediately thought it would be really difficult to get, at least, the hotel where I would  be hosted besides I was hungry and weary, suddenly, I felt that a person was getting close to me by my back, I was really afraid because I just watched his mysterious shadow, it reflected a tall, thin man with glasses and a black shelter, when I turned  to him he, very kindly asked me.. “Can I help you? You look lost” and his words gave me confidence, so I told him my trouble and this gentle and helpful man got me a homely, peaceful room to my sojourn in this beautiful place.
I could not believe what I was seeing. After I got a room I decided to take a walk around touristic places in Chiapas since it is characterized by its nature in special the waterfalls that fell over the crystalline, blue water source, it was marvelous to feel the cold water’s breeze to fall on y face at the same time that I felt the wind’s whisper that was making bristle my body while I listened to the birds song; it  made me feel like in heaven, around me there were lovely, tall green threes that showed me what a splendid nature had there, it allowed me to breath the most fresh air I ever breathed. On the other hand the large clear river that ran in a rush and seeing the fluorescent fish swimming over there stunned me.
Each day something new to know. During my visit in Chiapas I also knew some typical dishes but the most emblem is “tamal”; it is prepared in its different varieties like, “tamal de armadillo”, “tamal de iguana”, etc. it may be considered like exotic dishes but, in fact, they are really good. The flavor of all of them is delicious, those are prepared with a sour mass and corn, it is mixed and spread on a green corn sheet, after that put i ton fire for an hour and that is all. I added a Little of spicy sauce and it was really tasty.
My fascination with this fantastic place is growing inside of me. To know some important aspects about Chiapas left me a desire to know more about it and although I do not have enough time to travel, these interesting things motivate me to go in order to know more wonder about this state.
