Mexico (Chiapas)

Located in the southern part of Mexico, Chiapas is made up of mountainous highlands and dense rainforests, creating a beautifully diverse landscape. This state is filled with Mayan historical sights and Spanish colonial towns and is known for its production of cacao. The state of Chiapas has the highest poverty rate in all of Mexico, partially due to the marginalization of the large indigenous population in the state.
