I was in Chiapas Mexico last week and traveled around the areas along the Guatemala border. I was the guest of ATMEX and was checking out  new route for Authentic Mexico Travel for the enchanting state of Mexico.

Highlights were:

• I am rebranding AuthenticMexicoTravel.com with the truth–SAFE
• I was confirmed if we are going to continue to give curious gringos excellent trips there we will need to design the trips and look for the limited number of Mexico providers who will offer a US traveler friendly experience
• I realized that I am part of the problem with workers being paid very low wages at hotels in Mexico and put together a plan for us to change that
• Most refereshingly I ran and ran and ran along the road fro the town of Palenque to the ruins. This is a decent trail and even though it is hot this time of year, early mornings or late afternoons when the rain comes make for a good run.

• 

  I saw red macaws along the road near Palenque as I ran last week.
