Chiapas gastronomy
Aromas in Chiapas lead through a road of gastronomic fusions and exotic tastes. Unforgettable dishes with slight signs of pre Hispanic and Spanish cuisines, besides some peculiar ingredients, reserved only for daring travellers who wish to regale their palates with bites of iguana, turtle or armadillo; a true adventure.
Those reluctant to cross the border of traditional tastes, will be fully delighted with dishes they cannot turn down, such as the tamal chiapaneco, based on maize and seasoned with sweet, salty and spicy condiments and dressed with regional fruits; the most delicious beef or lamb barbeque; and the mouth watering cochinito (baked pork) or the peculiar chanfaina (elaborated with pig and cow innards).
