Mexico June 07 Part one: Puebla, Oaxaca, Mazunte, San Cristobal de las Casas and the mountains of Chiapas
And again, i happen to visit a country in the rainy season which might help to explain the fairly grey skies in most of the pics.

A tropical shower on the road from Oaxaca to Puerto Angel. The road across the Sierra Sur was spectacular, but unfortunately i was stuck in the middle of a minibus so i couldn't take any pictures. Damn shame.

The Rio Grijalva, a river that flows through the impressive Caņon de Sumidero, a canyon that in places has walls that drop 800 M to the waterline.
Photos do not do this natural wonder justice. But at least i gave it a try.

The next set of pictures is taken from the bus that took us from San Cristobal to Palenque. These are the highlands of Chiapas, very poor but with some excellent coffee. And beautiful.
