The Joy of Low Expectations
My expectations for the small town of Comitan were of such little substance that they barely ceased to exist. The only reason we were staying there was to be closer to El Chiflon Waterwalls and Montebello Lakes. Most people do a tour from the popular highland town of San Cristobal, but, we wanted to avoid the exceptionally long day trip. I had read that you spend 80% of your time just driving there and back, with little time to enjoy the falls and lakes themselves. We wanted full days and the freedom to explore. We thought that staying in a nothing town would be the trade-off that we had to make to do that.

Every Moment, I am Reinvented
In every moment, I am reinvented. My eyes are closed. The waves are crashing only 150 feet away from me. Seven other beautiful souls are circled up on the sand. We are each meditating on our own personal mantras. Our teacher, Carrie, has just guided us through a perfect weekend of yoga overlooking the ocean, nourishing gourmet vegan meals, breathwork, hiking, and my first ever surf lesson. We’re closing out the weekend with silent meditation on our personal mantras.

Most stunning waterfalls on earth
People go from all over the world to witness waterfalls, one of the most amazing natural wonders on earth, since they are powerful and inspiring forces of nature. There are many hundreds of waterfalls in the world, including the Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, the Niagara Falls on the US/Canada border, and Maine. However, the most stunning waterfalls are not always the tallest. Take Croatia's Plitvice Waterfalls, which feature 16 lakes that merge to form a succession of waterfalls and cascades.
