Information

The historic center of San Cristobal de las Casas, is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful in the country.

It retains its small town feeling, with cobblestone streets, park benches for resting, the zocalo (town square) with a tradition kiosk, and colonial buildings, that make us feel as if we were in Mexico in the 18th century.

In each block, we are witnesses to a mix of ethnicities, races, and nationalities that live in this town in the highlands of Chiapas.
