The Cheese Route runs through farms and ranches located in the municipality of Ocosingo, Chiapas, where it is possible to learn about the production process of the famous pelota cheese and the unique Chiapas cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The route invites you to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of cheese production in the region that is combined with nature and archaeology, as it also takes us to see the different tourist centers of the municipality and its majestic archaeological zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheese ball is one of the most representative edible products of the region and has become one of the main ingredients of Chiapas cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This cheese has been placed in the category of highly aged artisanal cheeses. Its main feature is that it comes wrapped in two layers of skim and fat-free cheese that is 100 percent edible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the recommendation is that the first layer is not consumed due to the handling given to it, as it is like its wrapping, with the second layer it is possible to prepare a delicious grilled cheese when placed on the griddle. The internal part of the cheese is soft and double cream, suitable for the most demanding palates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The route combines gastronomy with a visit to the Nah\u00e1, Metzabok and Campamentos Lacandones tourist centers, as well as impressive natural attractions such as the Las Golondrinas waterfall, the Sibal lagoon and, of course, the Lacandona Jungle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To close with a flourish, this route integrates archeology in Bonampak, Yaxchil\u00e1n and especially Tonin\u00e1, which is located just 12 kilometers from Ocosingo and also has its own on-site museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tonin\u00e1 is the place to discover one of the most important pre-Hispanic acropolis in Mexico: 260 steps on the central staircase that cross seven platforms and 13 temples to reach the top of a pyramid 74 meters high, higher than that of the Sun in Teotihuacan. The best thing about this route is that there is no time limit to visit it, since the production of the cheese is continuous, but it is important to book in advance with your trusted travel agent to schedule the visit.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
