Lacanjá Chansayab Tourist Camp
Lacanja Chansayab is a Lacandon sub-community that bases its subsistence on the natural resources provided by the biodiversity of Montes Azules. It is the only natural site inhabited by the Maya descendants, who still preserve their cultural traditions, faithful guardians of the vestiges of the Maya Culture, located in the vicinity of the Bonampak Archaeological Site.
Flora
Constituting the largest expanse of evergreen rainforest in the country, the Lacandon Jungle is home to more plant species than all the states of northern Mexico combined. It is estimated that in a single hectare of the Lacandon Jungle there are 267 plant species, of which 160 are trees.
Notable trees include mahogany, rosewood, and cedar; among the plants, I can mention tree ferns, bromeliads, orchids, and many epiphytic plants.
Fauna
In the Lacandon Jungle there are many species endemic to Mesoamerican humid forests and several threatened or endangered animal species such as the jaguar (Panthera oncal), the harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja), and the scarlet macaw (Ara macao), among other animals.
Cultural Aspects
On the edges of the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve lies the only natural site inhabited by the Maya descendants, who still preserve their cultural traditions, faithful guardians of the vestiges of the Maya culture, located in the vicinity of the Bonampak archaeological site.
