One of the army bases dismantled on the orders of
President Fox. The Zapatistas have demanded all troops to be removed
from Chiapas. After the uprising as many as 70,000 troops were moved
into Chiapas, this is about 1 soldier for every 3 people in Chiapas.
The site had been cleared so carefully by the army that this small
insignia was the only sign that, up until a few weeks before, this
had been a heavily fortified army base.

One of graffiti artist Banksy's trademark
stencils sprayed onto the remains of a house that belonged to
one of the land owners ousted by the Zapatistas. Before the uprising
this land owner controlled a massive area of land including the
valley stretching out into the distance.
