chiapas travel intro BONAMPAK » INTRODUCTION

Bonampak is located in the Lacandon Forest of the Chiapas and in the Lacanha River Valley. This site occupies 1,000 acres. The main buildings were built along the top of a chain of hills that runs through the middle of the valley from the Cojolita Range to the side of the river. However, only the Grand Plaza cluster has been explored and is open to the public. This plaza is at the south end of Bonampak, where you can see the famous building with wall paintings.

 
Once upon a time, there was a little seamstress who sewed mightily on his sewing machine. The other machines in his neighborhood laughed at him, and shouted: "Fairy! Only old women are streamstresses!" So the little seamstress sewed shut the mouths of everyone who made fun of him. That is why, to this day, we do not know how the story ended, because no one could tell it.
