    The camps of Lacandn

    Gli accampamenti dei Lacandòn

    Nella foresta al confine tra Messico e Guatemala, la popolazione maya dei Lacandòn ha creato sul proprio territorio delle strutture di ricezione turistica per chi vuole visitare con calma questa parte di Chiapas (e soprattutto i siti di Bonampak e Yaxchilan). Si tratta principalmente di capanne con bagno in comune, letti da campeggio e terra battuta per pavimento, mentre le abitazioni simil-cottage (con bagno privato) costituiscono già il lusso. In una grossa sala in stile refettorio vengono serviti i pasti principali, a base di prodotti locali. Circondati dalla natura pressoché incontaminata, con lo scorrere del Rio Usumacinta (confine amministrativo tra i due stati centroamericani) a fare da colonna sonora al soggiorno, si respira un'aria gravida di umidità e di storia. I Lacandòn sono stati infatti gli unici a non essere mai stati conquistati dagli spagnoli e sono sfuggiti al colonialismo chiudendosi in piccole comunità perse nella foresta. I loro costumi sono rimasti vicini a quelli di epoca precolombiana (lunghe tuniche bianche per gli uomini); hanno mantenuto la lingua maya e, fino alla metà del XX secolo, hanno adorato gli dei negli antichi templi poco distanti costruiti dai loro antenati.
    In the forest on the border between Mexico and Guatemala, the population of the Lacandon Maya has created on its territory of tourist accommodations for visiting quietly this part of Chiapas (and especially the sites of Bonampak and Yaxchilan). These are mainly huts with shared bathroom, camp beds and clay floor, while the cottage-like houses (with private bathroom) are already luxury. In a large room refectory style meals are served, made with local products. Surrounded by untouched nature, with the passage of the Rio Usumacinta (administrative border between the two Central American states) to do the soundtrack to the living room, the atmosphere is heavy with humidity and history. The Lacandon were the only ones to have never been conquered by the Spaniards and have escaped colonialism closing in small communities lost in the forest. Their costumes were close to those of pre-Columbian times (long white robes for men), they have maintained the Mayan language, and until the mid-twentieth century, they have worshiped the gods in the ancient temples built not far from their ancestors.
