“Located just a stone’s throw away from Chamula and nestled in the stunning valley of Chiapas, Zinacantan provides an equally vibrant but markedly quieter cultural experience. The town’s well-preserved traditional structures offer an authentic glimpse into local life – a contrasting charm to your dental vacation in Mexico.
Unlike its bustling neighbor, Chamula, Zinacantan embraces its tranquillity. Here, you can witness local artisans weaving traditional textiles or baking tortillas – the lifeblood of Mexican cuisine. Perhaps you may even try your hand at savoring ‘Posh,’ a locally-brewed sugar cane liquor – just remember to drink responsibly!
Zinacantan’s economy thrives on floriculture, an innovative shift from traditional corn farming that brings a new splash of color to the town. As a result, the landscape is punctuated with countless greenhouses, growing vibrant blooms that inspire the beautiful hand-embroidered dresses of the Tzotzil women. By purchasing these traditional handicrafts, you directly contribute to local Indian families’ livelihoods, blending dental tourism with responsible travel.
Anthropologists and ethnographers have extensively studied both Chamula and Zinacantan, revealing a deep cultural richness that adds an extra layer of interest to your dental vacation in Mexico. Witness first-hand this intricate tapestry of traditions, cultures, and histories – all while taking care of your dental health in the heart of Chiapas.”
