The Mam people live in the Soconusco region in the south of the Mexican state of Chiapas and the north of Guatemala.
Their region is so diverse that it includes both coastline and high mountains. In fact, the Mam are the guardians of the Tacaná volcano in Unión Juárez, a town which is known as the Switzerland of Chiapas. We took Unión Júarez as our base to explore the Mam culture and worldview.
The Mam have a deep relationship with nature. They protect and increase the richness of their land. In Unión Juárez, for example, they grow coffee.
We hiked to the top of the Pico de Loro, Parrot Rock, where we enjoyed panoramic views of the mountains and volcanoes.
