The Mayan population of the Lacandon rainforest

Chiapas, in the south-east of Mexico, is one of the most plentiful states in the country, with more different animals and plants than nearly anywhere else in the world. Jayne Constantinis explores the area and the changes that have happened, looking at the ruins of a once lost city. We meet the modern Mayan population of the Lacandon rainforest and find out about their lives as subsistence farmers.
