Walk through Simojovel, Tierra del Ámbar 8 h children

If you are thinking of visiting the Chiapas state soon, we have for you a tour that you can take as a family. We invite you to enjoy this walk through the town of Simojovel where children between between 7 and 11 years old s can apply for this offer special for children.

The 8-hour tour includes a walk through the town to see the mines and the amber workshops , as well as a museum dedicated to this valuable fossil resin that is extracted and worked in this town. The smallest of the house will be able to witness and learn about the extraction of this resin in the mines and then observe how the artisans work it in their homes and workshops until they achieve beautiful pieces of art.

They will also enjoy visiting the Amber Museum where they will complement the experience with the explanations that they will give us in this place. It is an ideal tour for children to value and learn more about the customs and traditions of their country.

The tour begins very early, at 6:00 am in the morning to head to Simojovel. Arriving at our destination we will go to the Barrio de los Pocitos and the community of Pauchil, where we will walk approximately a kilometer and a half towards the mines and then visit the workshops and the museum. On the way back to San Cristóbal de las Casas we will stop in the town of Oventic to observe some wall paintings and then in San Andrés to visit its church.

It is important that the little ones feel comfortable during the tour, that is why it is important to bring water bottles to hydrate them on the way, that they wear comfortable tennis shoes for long walks, sunscreen and a cap or hat to protect them from the sun.

* A group minimum of 4 people is required to carry out the tour. Please check availability when making your reservation.
