Join a city walking tour
One of the best things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas to get to grips with the beautiful city is to join a walking tour. You could opt to simply follow your own self-made tour around the pedestrian-friendly streets, wandering the Real de Guadalupe. Make sure not to miss the Arco del Carmen, the 17th-century gateway to San Cristobal – you can’t miss it, as it is bright ochre! Alternatively, you could join a free walking tour. These leave from Plaza de la Paz every day, in front of the cat...

Drop by the Museo de Trajes Regionales de Sergio Castro

San Juan Chamula
San Juan Chamulais a very unique place and one of the best day trips from San Cristobal de las Casas you could take. Only 20 minutes by road, this highland village is proud of its culture and independent spirit, with most of the population being Tzotzil. This village stood up against the Spanish colonizers and, even after being subjugated by them, retained many Maya spiritual and religious practices. This can be seen most prominently at the church. More of a temple than a church, don’t come i...
