With its well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture and cobbled pathways, San Cristobal de las Casas transports you to a forgotten era. Located in the state of Chiapas and nestled cozily in the Central highland valley, the city is set high above sea level and experiences cool days and cooler nights. A delightful blend of the old and the new, don’t be surprised to come upon century-old residences located right next to hip boutique stores. Wander along the pedestrian-friendly streets to visit its many attractions – the main plaza and the beautiful churches, and museums that dot the city. Just as delightful are the outdoor markets displaying handmade textiles, rugs, and toys! A short drive from the center will lead you to some of the city’s natural wonders – waterfalls, natural caves, and national parks. With a substantial expatriate population, San Cristóbal de las Casas has no dearth of fine restaurants and eateries specializing in a variety of international and local cuisines.
