Step by Step

San Cristobal de las Casas, nestled in the Chiapas highlands, is a mosaic of indigenous traditions and colonial legacy. This guided tour introduces you first to the Cathedral and the Ex Municipal Palace, where you will appreciate the architectural icons that define the historic centre. From there, you will enter cobblestone streets that hold legends of friars, merchants and indigenous resistance.

As you walk through the 7 neighbourhoods, you will get to know the cultural fusion that beats in every corner. In Guadalupe you will discover artisan workshops; in El Cerrillo, viewpoints with panoramic views; and in Mexicanos, squares where daily life is lived. Each neighbourhood holds flavours and colourful traditional costumes that your guide will explain in detail.

The temples of La Merced and Santa Lucia display baroque altarpieces and indigenous altars, while San Francisco offers an oasis of calm in historic gardens. Finally, El Carmen will surprise you with its intact urban layout and its markets where Tzotzil and Tzeltal languages are still spoken.

The tour operates with small groups (max. 10 travellers), allowing for close conversations and answers to all your questions about society, religion and local customs.

Finish your tour with recommendations for restaurants, viewpoints and markets to continue exploring on your own. With this tour, San Cristobal is no longer a destination but a lived experience.
