San Cristóbal de las Casas emerges from the valley surrounded by
mountains inhabited by the Tzoltzil and the Tzatzal people. Today, it
forms a mosaic of local cultures and people from all over the world
who have chosen the city as their home. The main square is the heart
of the city, which is a meeting place filled with residents passing by
or relaxing on one of the many wrought iron benches. Visit the City
Hall and the colorful Cathedral, painted in a sun-like yellow with its
interior golden altarpieces from the XVIII century. Explore the
narrow, cobblestone streets of the traditional neighborhoods and and
admire the houses painted in bright colors that are homes to quaint
shops and markets. Admire the beautiful embroidery and the jewelry
made from amber and wood pieces that are on display in the windows and
on the shelves of the local shops.
A stunning example of nature’s architecture, you can check out
Sumidero Canyon’s 3,300-foot (1,000-meter) walls in a lancha (boat)
with a guide who will point out some of the canyon’s incredible
flora, fauna, and its natural wonders. Mineralized caves, waterfalls
of many shapes and sizes, and the awestruck feeling of your own tiny
place in the world await you at this natural wonder. Travel the Canyon
by boat and discover one of the most spectacular places in Mexico.
This series of breathtaking waterfalls splash and descend over
limestone rocks down the Tulijá River, north of San Cristóbal.
Fifty-nine wildly colored lakes make up the Lagunas de Montebello
National Park and about 15 of them are easily reachable on foot or by
car. The varying colors are dependent on each lake’s mineral content
as they are believed to have been cenotes that ate away at the
limestone bedrock and filled in over time.
As one of Mexico’s most impressive set of ruins, Palenque and its
jungle setting are an unmissable experience on your trip to Chiapas.
Scientists have learned about this Mayan city’s history through its
many hieroglyphic inscriptions and it has some of the most exquisite
stone work and relief art. Though the site was buried for years in a
massive forest, it’s now yours to explore!
