Overview

Embark on a tour of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, a colourful blend of indigenous and local villages steeped in tradition. San Cristóbal is composed of various traditional neighbourhoods, each renowned for a specific trade or custom such as ironworking, carpentry, and woodcarving. As the largest Mayan township in Chiapas, it boasts over 40,000 Tzotzil speakers, one of the 31 Mayan languages. The region is recognised for its agricultural and ceremonial lifestyles, an intriguing fusion of Catholic and Mayan beliefs.

The tour will take you to the village of San Juan Chamula, home to a church that stands out from the rest. The centuries-old Church of San Juan captivates with its whitewashed walls and vibrantly painted entrance overlooking the town square. This church is not part of any Diocese, reflecting the residents' desire for freedom to perform their diverse rituals.

Next, you'll explore Zinacantán village, where you can appreciate the intricate work of the local women who weave exquisite textiles using a special loom attached to their belts. After admiring their traditional ponchos, tablecloths, bedspreads, and cushion covers, you'll have the chance to savour the local cuisine and sample a traditional dish.
