Corrozal Border
Corrozal Border is a border town between Mexico and Guatemala, at the height of the Lacandon Jungle. I arrived at night, and the next day was supposed to cross the river to reach the Guatemalan border. First thing is that the boats come with a 20 person minimum, and no one in town wanted to cross! The price to rent the entire boat only for me was ridiculous, so I had to wait until the afternoon, when, thanks to fate a group of 40 Mexican guides arrived who wanted to visit the Mayan ruins of the region to learn more. Then, they agreed to take me, but first we went to visit the nearby ruins of Yaxchilan, a beautiful place along the promenade of the river when you arrive.
In Frontera Corrozal, there's almost nothing - one ugly and expensive hotel. I slept in a house that had some tables to eat at, a roof, and some strung hammocks. They charged 2 euros a night, but it's not worth more! Usually you have to visit the immigration offices in Corrozal to leave the country, but there was no one when we left at 6am the next morning, and when we reached Bethel, Guatemala, some 10 km away, we weren't asked for any proof of departure from Mexico.
