ARMINAS TRAVEL

Fam Trip Chiapas, Chapter II.
We continued our extraordinary journey through Chiapas, taking a small aircraft with Aerobalam from Tuxtla Gutiérrez to Palenque — a flight that already feels like stepping into another world.
Palenque… a legendary ancient city hidden deep in the jungle. Mystical, powerful, and alive. A place of kings and secrets, where the great Pakal still seems to whisper through the temples. (You can explore it further in our dedicated reel.)

From there, we ventured even deeper — along the majestic Usumacinta River, the natural border between worlds. The only way to reach Yaxchilán is by boat, cutting through dense jungle, surrounded by silence and mist. And then it appears… a forgotten Maya city, embraced by the rainforest, where howler monkeys echo like ancient guardians. Raw, untouched, sacred.

And then — Bonampak.
Simply… the Louvre of Maya civilization.

Inside its temples lie some of the most extraordinary murals ever discovered in the ancient world. Vivid, powerful, almost alive — telling stories of rituals, rulers, victories, and bloodlines. Standing there, you don’t observe history — you feel it breathing.

This journey made one thing absolutely clear:
if you truly seek deep immersion into anthropology, indigenous cultures, and the most breathtaking ancient cities of Mexico — Chiapas is not optional. It is essential.

With immense gratitude to the Ministry of Tourism of Chiapas .mx and to every person who made this journey possible.

We cannot wait to share this magic with our dear clients.

Today we turn 19 years old.
Every year is a miracle.
Every year is the result of tremendous work and the incredible professionalism of our team.
The past four years have been especially challenging, as we had to reinvent ourselves completely — rebuilding, restructuring toward new markets, learning new languages, and beginning an entirely new chapter, far more international and effective.

We thank everyone who has crossed our path.
We thank those who worked with us in the past and those who continue this journey with us today, those who supported us in the most difficult moments, our suppliers, and our wonderful hoteliers who have always stood by us through every challenge.

We are grateful for every problem, as each one became a source of learning for us.
We are grateful for every success that brought us a sense of fulfillment. We look ahead, and we have a great future before us.
Feliz cumpleaños, Arminas Travel!
