Tours are operated directly by members of the communities of San Juan Chamula, Zinacantán, Tenejapa, and Amatenango del Valle, with 100% of income staying within the communities. Experiences include visits to textile workshops, participation in healing rituals with traditional healers (with community permission), and hikes through the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve.
