Luxury Travel to San Cristobal de las Casas made for you
Mexico
Highland life, Mayan villages and fascinating folklore
Lying in a typically lush valley of the Chiapas province, San Cristobal sums up the charming highland life of Mexico.
Having long been a symbolic place for the country’s indigenous peoples and culture, this colonial town and its surrounding Mayan villages makes it one of Mexico’s most ethnically diverse areas, pastoral in character, with a hint of the bohemian too.
The picture is a familiar one of multi-coloured colonial stucco houses lining its cobbled streets where the lifestyle is rustic and simple. However, the main draw here is the extraordinary melting pot of customs and cultures intensified by the long-standing Mayan traditions, and Christian religions and settlers that have shaped this region.
The town is a good base for exploring the ruins of Palenque, the waterfalls of Agua Azul, or perhaps some hiking or horse-riding to the surrounding mountain villages of San Juan Chamula, for a real insight into indigenous communities and highland life that has resisted the tides of time. San Cristobal is also an incredibly enchanting place to just stroll around its downtown streets and plazas, stopping at the market places to buy some of the best locally-made handicrafts and textiles made in all of Mexico.
