Comitán

Comitán

After a string of dusty little towns, Comitán comes as a surprise. The road into the city is lined with laurels and masses of red and purple bougainvillea. Founded by the Spanish in 1527, the city flourished early on as a major center linking the lowland villages to the highland towns. Even today it serves as a trading hub for the Tzeltal people.
