San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico is a great place to base yourself for countless adventures throughout Chiapas. It’s a lovely and lively town in Southern Mexico largely inhabited by indigenous people.

Rather than things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico, this travel guide was written to more so to provide travel inspiration for day trips around San Cristobal de las Casas. Here you’ll find activity recommendations, directions on how to get there using a variety of methods, and travel tips along the way. We’ll still provide you with some guidance on things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas yet this is really more of a collection of things to do from San Cristobal de las Casas.

San Cristobal de las Casas rests at an elevation of 2,200 meters high which makes for some chilly nights and even causes shortness of breath for those who have not yet acclimated. We strongly suggest planning the activities in the region to begin with light physical activities to get acclimated. Then work your way up to more strenuous adventures such as a challenging uphill mountain bike excursion or a demanding mountain trek. Exploring around town’s museums and churches is a good low-engergy place to start.

 

1) Things To Do in San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico

If looking for things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico, let us first suggest a visit to the Cathedral, which overlooks the main plaza in the center of town. If you’re in to churches, don’t stop there as you’ll find beautifully adorned structures all around town. Perhaps most notably is the lovely Templo Santo Domingo. For those with extra energy, hoof it up to either of the two churches that are perched atop hills in San Cristobal de las Casas: Iglesia de Guadelupe and Iglesia de San Cristobal. You’ll not only be rewarded by ornate churches but with spectacular views of San Cristobal de las Casas.

You’ll also find over a half dozen museums throughout San Cristobal de las Casas. The Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya is arguably the best, highlighting textile production throughout the region. The intimate Na Balom and Museo de Ambar are also culturally fascinating to many visitors.

Stroll along the many pedestrian-friendly streets. Sip some local Chiapan coffee at a cafe in the morning and switch over to pox, a local liquor, by nightfall. There’s no shortage of shopping opportunities either as you can find an abundance of locally made handcrafts at the market.

Yet what we thought were some of the best things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico were not necessarily these churches and museums in town, but rather the many day trips and activities you can embark on throughout Chiapas. The mountains here contain plentiful natural beauty and countless adventure. There’s actually quite a bit to do just within a short 15-minute drive from the center of town.

So without further ado, the remainder of the article details our favorite things to do around San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico.

 

2) Sumidero Canyon Tour

A boat tour of Sumidero Canyon is the quintessential day trip to take from San Cristobal de las Casas. And that’s for good reason. It’s an extremely beautiful place, it’s not too far to reach, and it’s an inexpensive day trip from San Cristobal de las Casas. This is a must-do activity from San Cristobal de las Casas.

A 45-minute drive will take you to you to the docks on the Grijalva river, where you’ll embark on a small motorboat to take you on a 2-hour ride through this impressive canyon. As you travel deeper and deeper, you’ll notice the canyon seemingly growing, eventually towering nearly a kilometer in height over you!

Along the way, you’ll stop at points of interest such as a waterfall that spans the entire wall of the canyon, which may or may not be dried up during your visit. And if you’re lucky, you may spot some crocodiles or spider monkeys during the 2-hour voyage.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Sumidero Canyon

San Cristobal to Sumidero Canyon Using Public Tranport: It is actually cheaper and far more convenient to go to Sumidero Canyon as part of a tour, so we’d recommend that. But if for some reason you want to go independently, you can catch a colectivo from San Cristobal de las Casas to Chiapa de Corzo. Find colectivos around the market for $50 pesos, one-hour ride, each way. From Chiapa de Corzo, walk a few hundred meters alongside the riverbank to get to the docks where there are frequent boats giving the 2-hour tour for the fixed price of $200 pesos per person.

Tour to Sumidero Canyon: This is a popular tour and hence is sold by nearly every travel agency in town. Prices between operators do vary, so it may be worth your time to ask around. We paid $250 pesos per person using Tours por Chiapas located on Guadelupe near the main plaza. Their tour departs San Cristobal de las Casas at 9:00 and offers complimentary hotel pick-up. Most Sumidero Canyon tours also include an hour stop at Chiapa del Corzo for lunch and sightseeing. Some tours of Sumidero Canyon further include stops at the mirador atop the canyons walls. Ours did not.

 

3) El Chiflon Waterfalls

El Chiflon is a stunningly blue series of cascades that culminates with the enormous Velo de Novia waterfall, plunging a dramatic 120 meters. Walk up a path on the bank of the Rio San Vincente for about for about a kilometer and you’ll grow increasingly enamored with the sparklingly blue falls, which reveal themselves one after the next.

As you traverse up the path, you’ll notice just how well manicured this park is, which has hammocks and benches to relax in along the way. Bring a swimsuit if you want to take a dip in the cool blue waters below the waterfalls.

You can bring a picnic but there are also some charming and economical cafes to enjoy a snack in front of the babbling brook. For adventure seekers, we recommend taking a ride on the zipline, which is covered in a subsequent section in this guide.

Plan to spend at least two hours at El Chiflon. And don’t miss it, as a day trip here was one of our favorite things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to El Chiflon

As a day trip, El Chiflon is most easily reached as part of a tour from San Cristobal de las Casas. Otherwise consider basing yourself in Comitan for a few days, which will give you greater accessibility and flexibility to both El Chiflon and Lagunas Montebello. A tour from San Cristobal will include both of these attractions on a long yet packed day. The tour stops at El Chiflon for about two hours, which we found to be ample time to explore the park.

Public Transport to El Chiflon: You can catch a regular bus or colectivo from San Cristobal de las Casas to the town of Comitan, a nearly 2-hour ride. From Comitan, take one of the regular colectivos that depart every hour, which will bring you to a turn-off for the park, where you’ll need to walk about 15 minutes down the road to the actual park entrance.

Day Tour from San Cristobal to El Chiflon: You can book a day trip from San Cristobal de las Casas to El Chiflon that also includes subsequent visits to many of the Montebello Lakes. The price for the 13-hour tour are $300 pesos, making for great value, but just be prepared for long hours in the van due to travel times. We used Tours por Chiapas to book our tour, yet it is offered by many agencies and hostels throughout San Cristobal de las Casas.

 

4) Lagunas de Montebello National Park

In extreme Southern Chiapas, just before the border to Guatemala, there are a series of beautiful lakes tucked amongst the oak & pine forests. These lakes are known for their varying hues of green and blue that glisten in the sunlight. But check the weather before you venture all this way, as the lakes often are misty and overcast.

But go on with the right weather, and you’ll be in for a treat. Either way, it’s a very peaceful and tranquil place to escape into nature. In addition to the lakes themselves, you’ll find hiking trails, caves to explore, cenotes, horseback riding, kayaking, and even some Mayan ruins. So for those who really enjoy the outdoors, plan to spend at least a night at one of the cabañas so you can take in all of these activities and attractions.

You can also slip across the Guatemalan border to poke around the markets and buy some Guatemalan goods.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Lagunas Montebello

San Cristobal de las Casas to Lagunas Montebello by Public Transport: There are numerous buses everyday plying the nearly 2-hour route from San Cristobal de las Casas to Comitan. From Comitan transfer to one of the frequent colectivo vans which stop at all the major points of interest throughout the Lagunas Montebello area. 

Tour to Lagunas Montebello: Many San Cristobal tour agencies book excursions to Lagos Montebello that include a stop at El Chiflon along the way. The 13-hour tour is heavy on driving, which makes stops at the lakes feel rushed. It’s still a decent way to be able to pack in a day quickly touring these picturesque lakes. But we felt this vast area probably deserved more time to explore by way of hiking, horseback riding, and kayaking that is not possible to do during the short tour stops.

We booked through Tours por Chiapas for $300 pesos per person which included transportation and all admissions (Lunch is extra). We thought it was excellent value for all that is packed in during one long day.

 

5) El Arcotete 

This pleasant natural attraction is worth spending a few hours to enjoy. A river carves its way through a mountain to form a natural tunnel. It’s an interesting sight!

At Arcotete you’ll also find a netork of hiking trails, a lookout point, and a swing bridge, which are all included in the modest $10 peso price of admission. Palapa rentals are an additional $30 pesos. Ziplining is 100 pesos. A small boat ride up the river is 20 pesos.

It’s a quick an easy trip to get to from town to Arcotete which makes it a a good option among things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas if you’re running short on time. For a longer outing, take public transportation there and then take a hike on the crude trail along the riverbank, taking you on an alternate route back into town. Or take a bike ride to Arcotete and back.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Arcotete

Taxi to Arcotete: It would be a fairly quick trip to reach Arcotete by taxi. Not sure of the exact price but I’d estimate paying somewhere between $50-$100 each way.

Arcotete by bike: Cycling to Arcotete can be a tough incline to tackle on the way up but a fun cruise back into town on the return. Bike rentals are $50 pesos per hour. Expect it to take one to two hours to get there and perhaps about 20 minutes to get back.

 

6) Huitepec Ecological Reserve

Here you’ll find a pleasant hike on the outskirts of San Cristobal de las Casas. The trail goes up the side of a mountain and winds through a lush forest. It’s known as a good place for birding yet we saw more avian life from our backyard in San Cristobal. Still, it’s a nice hike with big, beautiful trees full of dangling air plants. We’re in relatively good shape and it took us about an hour to complete the circuit trail.

Huitepec isn’t one of the “must” things to do in San Cristobal but we’d recommend it as a pleasant diversion to get some exercise for those with a prolonged stay in the area. We were charged $30 pesos per person to enter the reserve, although reports about the entrance fee varies.

You can get to Huitepec by walking, taxi, or collectivo. We’d recommend taking a taxi there and catching one of the many passing colectivos back into town. Or walk back. There is a trail along the side of the road for pedestrians, yet there’s nothing too particularly interesting on the route to Huitepec.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Huitepec Ecological Reserve

Taxi to Huitepec: A taxi costs 50 pesos, one way from the center of San Cristobal de las Casas to Huitepec.

Colectivo to Huitepec: will run about 10 pesos and departs from the market heading on 190 towards Navenchauc.

 

7) Templo de San Juan in San Juan de Chamula

We highly recommend a visit to San Juan de Chamula to experience its extremely unique and fascinating church, which oddly blends together indigenous Tzotzil Mayan traditions with Catholicism. Among all of the cultural things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico, this is our top recommendation.

From the outside, the Templo de San Juan appears to be just like any other church we’ve seen in Mexico. But inside the church of San Juan, it’s completely different from anything we’ve ever experienced and it remains the most interesting church we’ve ever stepped foot inside.

There are no pews inside Templo de San Juan. Instead, dry pine needles covered the tile floor. Soft rhythmic music and clouds of incense filled the air, as light beamed in from the few windows on the east side. Mismatched tables lined the walls of the church, topped with thousands of flickering candles of all shapes and sizes.

Worshipers kneel down on the pine needle covered floor. Men dressed in black wool tunics that look as if they came fresh off a sheep. Don’t be alarmed by the ear-piercing blasts shaking the church. Outside, it was powerful firecrackers (dynamite?) that was being lit, another bizarre ritual.

Each churchgoer to Templo de San Juan has their own assortment of dozens tall skinny candles, big wide pillar candles, and small votive candles all dripping with wax onto the floor. They chant prayers in their native tongue. Yet perhaps most peculiar was watching them gulp carbonated orange sodas so that they could loudly burp into the incense filled air. Apparently this is how they rid their evil spirits. If you’re really lucky (or unlucky depending on your perspective), you’ll also witness some sacrifices at the alter, which often involves chickens.

It’s all very strange yet somehow remains peaceful. It’s a very intriguing place in the world that we’d recommend to any curious travelers throughout Chiapas. There is a $20 peso entrance fee for visitors that you can pay directly at the church’s entrance. There are a few other points of interest to poke around in San Juan Chamula too but they are all afterthoughts in comparison to the captivating Templo de San Juan.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to San Juan de Chamula

This neighboring town is only 10 kilometers from San Cristobal de las Casas and thereby can be reached by a variety of methods including hiking, biking, horseback, colectivo, taxi, or tour.

Hiking to San Juan Chamula: It’s about a two-hour trek each way. Follow the road or ask around town for directions on a path.

Cycling to San Juan Chamula: Feel the burn as you pedal up the mountainous roads but it’s a very doable cycle trip from San Cristobal to Chamula. Bike rentals start at about $50 peso per hour.

Horseback from San Cristobal to San Juan Chamula: Go for a horseback ride between the two towns for $150 pesos. It takes about 60-90 minutes each way and you’ll have an hour to explore San Juan Chamula.

Colectivo to San Juan Chamula: Colectivos depart near the market and cost $15 pesos each way for the 30-minute drive.

Taxi to San Juan Chamula: You can hire a private taxi from San Cristobal to Chamula at negotiable prices.

Tour to San Juan Chamula: Many agencies in town offer tours from San Cristobal to San Chamula that also visits the indigenous town of Zinacantan. Such guided tours costs around $250 pesos per person and last about 5 hours total. If you want an English-speaking guide, be sure to ask in advance.

 

8) Chiapa de Corzo

Chiapa de Corzo is listed as a one of the Pueblos Magicos (Magical Towns) by the Mexico Tourism board and is less than an hour drive from San Cristobal de las Casas. The plaza acts as a focal point of small colonial town. Here you can check out the clock tower. Be sure to poke around the big tree – La Pochota – and the La Pila fountain which is said to pay tribute to the Spanish crown.

And like most towns in Mexico, there’s an impressive cathedral, of course. In Chiapa de Corzo, you can admire the Templo Santo Domingo, built in the late 1500’s.

Chiapa de Corzo’s position on the the Rio Grijava makes it an ideal jumping off point for boat trips up the Sumidero Canyon. You can easily locate the docks for this trip by strolling down the riverside walkway. There are many restaurants and cafes lining the riverbank to have a meal or just relax with a drink.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Chiapa de Corzo

Sumidero Canyon Tour including Stop at Chiapa de Corzo: Chiapa de Corzo is best visited in combination with Sumidero Canyon, given its proximity to the docks for the boat tours. Many day tours from San Cristobal de las Casas to Sumidero Canyon include an hour stop at Chiapa de Corzo. Confirm this before booking as not all tours include this stop. Price for such tours start at $250 pesos. If you desire more time, consider taking a collective instead.

San Cristobal to Chiapa de Corzo by Colectivo: Find collectives to Chiapa de Corzo at the market for the $50 pesos, one-hour ride, each way.

 

9) Caving – Grutas de Rancho Nuevo

Just a short drive from San Cristobal de las Casas, you can find a caving system in a park that is set amongst towering pine trees. With entrance to the park a mere $5 pesos, it’s a bargain that’s waiting to be explored just outside of town.

The cave itself is nice and has a seprate entrance fee of $20 pesos. If you’ve done much spelunking in the past, you may be underwhelmed by Grutas de Rancho Nuevo. But we found these caves to definitely be worth the modest price of admission. And if you haven’t done much caving before, you’ll likely be fascinated. The smooth trail that winds through the cave is an easy walk and contains guardrails making it very safe.

After a 5-10 minute leisurely stroll through the cave, the pathway ends and you’ll proceed on rougher terrain after being outfitted with a flashlight & helmet, and you’ll be led by a guide. This optional extension takes you another 5 minutes or so deeper into the cave for an additional 35 pesos plus tip for the guide. For the uninitiated, it gives you a tiny glimpse of what it’s like to traverse through a wild cave.

Just outside the mouth of the cave are a number of restaurants serving giant quesadillas. If not for the unexceptional caves, just come Grutas de Rancho Nuevo for the huge quesadillas alone. They are been the best quesadillas we’ve had in Mexico!

Grutas de Rancho Nuevo also has some big slides to slip down too, included with your admission. Additional for fee activities at Grutas de Rancho Nuevo are a zip-line and horseback riding. You could easily spend a half-day here filled with activities and it seemed like an ideal place for things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas for those traveling with kids.

If you’re looking you’re looking for a more intense caving experience in San Cristobal de las Casas, you could consider an excursion with PETRA Vertical adventures, who has more intense caving excursions throughout the San Cristobal de las Casas area.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Grutas de Rancho Nuevo

San Cristobal de las Casas to Grutas de Rancho Nuevo by Colectivo: You can find frequent colectivos at the market that pass by Grutas de Rancho Nuevo. Look for the colectivos heading to Teopisca and ask the driver to drop you off at the caves along the way. Expect to pay $10-$20 pesos per person each way.

San Cristobal de las Casas to Grutas de Rancho Nuevo by Taxi: A taxi to Grutas de Rancho Nuevo should cost about $50 pesos from the center of town the to the caves. The drive takes about 15 minutes.

 

10) Zip-lining near San Cristobal de las Casas

The mountains around San Cristobal de las Casas hold numerous opportunities for those who seek the thrill of soaring through the tall trees that grow throughout this rugged landscape. Three places to zip-line near San Cristobal are:

• Grutas de Rancho Nuevo
• El Arcocete
• El Chiflon

Our recommendation on where to zip line near San Cristobal de las Casas is definitely El Chiflon! You soar above those spectacular blue waterfalls on a nearly half-kilometer line that you race through in just 40 seconds. It’s absolutely fantastic that we highly recommend for any thrill seekers visiting El Chiflon.

Equipment and operators here seemed very safe in our view, but that’s something you’ll need to judge personally. The zip line was well staffed with multiple employees on either end. The El Chiflon zip line has a weight limit of 100 kilos (220 pounds), so you’ll probably want to opt out of this activity if you exceed that. Cost to ride the zip line is 150 pesos that you pay directly to the zip line operators.

Another zip line to consider in the area is the one at el arcocete, which offers a big thrill, as it requires a frightening leap high from a cliff. For the more timid, there’s a zip line at Grutas de Rancho Nuevo. It seemed least exciting of the three, as it simply flies over the restaurants and stables. Yet, that may be a good place for first-time zipliners to take the leap.

 

11) Mountain Biking around San Cristobal de las Casas 

The mountains surrounding San Cristobal de las Casas contain some great trails to explore on two wheels. Without your own transport and local knowledge of the trail networks, you’ll need to book a tour in order to access some of the better single track in the Chiapas countryside.

If you prefer to bike around on your own, you can rent a bike in San Cristobal and ride it up to El Arcocete which involves a fairly steep ascent. It’s about 8 kilometers from the center of town mostly on roadways, which turns onto a dirt road for the final few kilometers. It’s well signposted and easy to navigate.

It’s a nice ride, particularly on the way back, which is almost entirely downhill! Yet if you’re looking for more of a true mountain biking trail, your better off joining a tour.

We rented our bikes from Jaguar Adventours who offers both bike rentals and daily tours on mountain biking trails throughout Chiapas. The bikes were all in good condition and rates are $50 pesos per hour or $250 pesos for the day.

 

12) Horseback Riding around San Cristobal de las Casas

There’s no shortage of horseback riding opportunities both from San Cristobal de las Casas and the surrounding area. Consider a trail ride at Lagos de Montebello or through the pine forests surrounding Grutas de Rancho Nuevo.

A classic horseback ride from San Cristobal de las Casas is to the nearby village of San Juan de Chamula. The trail ride is about 60-90 minutes each way, which winds its way through forest, meadows, farmland, and alongside a stream. It’s a pleasant trail ride that takes in a mix of nature and local life. Your butts will have an hour break off the saddle at San Juan de Chamula to explore the village. We think it’s a great way to get to Chamula and spend a half-day.

We booked our horse ride from San Cristobal to Chamula with Jalapeño Tours at a cost of $150 pesos plus a tip to the guide. Our horses appeared to be healthy, well taken care of, and obedient. Rides depart at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm and lasts about 4 hours.

 

13) A Day Trip to the Palenque Ruins

The Palenque ruins are massively impressive ancient Mayan site in Chiapas. These impressive Mayan Ruins date back to 700 and 800’s AD and are set within the overgrowth of a jungle setting. There are tall temples which have been excavated, many of which you can climb up to get a birds-eye view of the neighboring temples.

Yet walk ways into the jungle and you’ll feel like Indiana Jones as you explore the Palenque temples that have been swallowed up by the jungle. Many of the structures have been left unexcavated which gives adds to the ruins mystique to see them being strangled by tree roots.

From San Cristobal de las Casas to Palenque is about a 4½-hour drive, so you may want to consider an overnight stop in Palenque instead of a day trip. Yet it is still possible to go to Palenque and the nearby waterfalls all in one day, then return to San Cristobal. The two entrance fees for the National Park and the Palenque ruins themselves total $84 pesos per person which also includes entrance to the museum. For a little more of what this ruin site is like, you can see our full post about That Will Make You Want to Visit Palenque.

How to Get from San Cristobal de las Casas to Palenque

Tours from San Cristobal de las Casas to Palenque: You can book a very lengthy day trip from San Cristobal de las Casas to Palenque and back. These typically depart early in the morning around 5:00 am and return around 10:00 pm at night, making for quite a long day and includes nearly 10 hours of sitting in a van. But if you’re short on time and not traveling in that direction, this day trip can be a great way to include Palenque in your trip to Southern Mexico. These tours also usually make stops at the Misol-Ha Cascades and Agua Azul Waterfalls. You can arrange a one-way transfer too which can often be more practical than taking a bus. Prices of these full day tours from San Cristobal to Palenque start at about $400 pesos, making for good value.

Bus from San Cristobal de las Casas to Palenque: There are roughly a half dozen indirect buses ADO buses departing San Cristobal for a seven-hour ride to Palenque for $374 per person. A more direct bus takes less than five hours and is priced at a more reasonable $206 pesos but only has one departure each day. Visit the ADO bus site for an up-to-date timetable and costs. The buses will only get you as far as Palenque town. A frequent $20 pesos colectivo will then get you to the ruins.

 

14) Agua Azul Waterfalls

This waterfall makes for a beautiful natural attraction on the way to or from Palenque. The mineral content give Agua Azul its namesake blue waters which you can also swim in. Take a stroll about a kilometer or so up the path along the riverbank and you’ll find a few swimming holes to take a dip. You’ll also notice several cafes set up by people trying to convince you to stop for a empanada or a cerveza. Any why not? It’s a beautiful view.

 

The Agua Azul cascades are best visited in combination with the Mis0l-Ha waterfall. See below.

 

15) Misol-Ha Cascades

The Misol-Ha Waterfall is taller than at Agua Azul yet lacks the magical blue waters. You can go behind the waterfall and let the mist hit you right in the face. Continue on and you’ll find a small cave where you can pay a guide to take you into.

Misol-Ha and Agua Azul are two separate waterfalls are in two different locations yet often grouped together, and in combination with a visit to Palenque. We don’t recommend coming to Misol-Ha or Agua Azul as a standalone trip from San Cristobal de las Casas, as it is better visited as a day tour that includes Palenque or visited on the way to Palenque.

 

Bonus: Eating in San Cristobal de las Casas

There are so many great restaurants and bars all throughout San Cristobal de las Casas. We only scratched the surface during our month long visit, yet we still wanted to leave you some recommendations of what were our three favorite restaurants in San Cristobal de las Casas.

Maya Pakal: This is our recommendation for incredible value. Go for the set menus that range between 78-90 pesos which gives you a 3-course meal with wine and a lovely breadbasket & dipping spreads. Choose a beverage, a soup, a main course, a desert, and even coffee or tea. It’s really incredible value here for what comes out to less than $5.

La Lupe: This was our go-to place for a well-rounded restaurant in San Cristobal de las Casas. Great service, consistently good Mexican food, fair prices, live music, and the most extensive salsa bar we’ve ever seen. We recommend the tacos al pastor and then putting the salsa bar to use.

Tipica: The name of this small restaurant translates to “typical.” Yet it’s anything but. Build your own meal by choosing a base, a meat, and a sauce. We loved the combination of enchilada, chicken tinga and peanut sauce. The friendly and helpful service may even toss in a delicious homemade desert.

 

Bonus: Drinking Around San Cristobal de las Casas

La Vina de Bacco: It’s no wonder this wine bar on Avenieda Guadalupe is always packed. It seems they keep customers returning for the super friendly service, cheap prices, great live music, complimentary tapas, and the huge drink menu of not only wine but unique Chiapan spirits and craft beer too. This wine bar definitely tops our list of places to grab a drink in San Cristobal de las Casas.

500 Noches: This is the place in San Cristobal to try local Mexican craft beer. It’s a trendy setting with well-trained staff who understands proper glassware and pours. It’s a vast menu of craft beer that only includes Mexican brews, organized by region. For a craft beer local to Chiapas, start with one of the Tzotzil bottles.

Café Bar Revolucion: This bar is usually rocking with their nightly live music that tends to start around 9:00 pm but gets bonus points for its craft beer.

 

Bonus: Where to Stay in San Cristobal de las Casas

There are some great value hotels and hostels in San Cristobal de las Casas. You can find some fantastic rooms throughout town in the under-$50 range. We recommend searching hotelscombined.com to find the best rates, as it searches all of the major booking sites to find the best price. Be sure to book a room before you arrive, particularly in high season, as all the best places do get reserved in advance.

There are also some nice airbnb listings throughout town, which we find to be an ideal setup for longer term stays. If you’ve never used airbnb before, you can use this link to get you $20 off your first stay.
