Overview

  • This is not a typical pub crawl. We offer a deeply cultural and sensory immersion into the world of Chiapas' “spiritual spirits”—the traditional POX and Comiteco. These are not just drinks; they are sacred elements of local cosmology, used for centuries in medicine and ceremony. On this walking tour through the vibrant streets of San Cristóbal, you won't just taste; you'll understand. Guided by expert mythologists and local producers, you'll unlock the stories, rituals, and craftsmanship behind every sip. It's a journey for foodies, culture enthusiasts, and families alike—we expertly tailor the experience for all ages.
    Travellers will embark on a curated walking tour to five distinct “Casas Maestras” (Master Houses), each offering a unique chapter in the storey of these spirits.
    Inclusive for All Ages: This is a true family-friendly experience. We seamlessly organise a parallel tasting journey of exceptional local non-alcoholic drinks and foods at a special rate.
