Free Walking Tour San Cristóbal de las Casas

Overview of the tour in San Cristobal de las Casas

What we would like to achieve with our tour is to stimulate the integration and contacts between visitors and locals and to preserve and promote San Cristobal de Las Casas’ customs and traditions.

The whole tour will take about 3 hours and gives information about the historical places (amongst other things; Santo Domingo church, the San Cristóbal cathedral, cultural centre el Carmen, el Cerrillo, the principal market, Guadalupe church and Cerrito de San Cristóbal). The tour also provides the tasting of local products, this is included in our tour. There is the opportunity to try coffee, chocolate, sweets, soups, tamales (typical food in Chiapas) and pox (traditional drink from Chiapas). Visiting galleries is another part of the tour, for example we visit a textiles' gallery where indigenous people work. We also show you street art and tell you more about the messages behind it.

During the tour we will give recommendations about where to eat, drink, buy and sleep. The complete information about all these places you can also find in our own map which you can take for free after the tour. The tour works with donations as an appreciation, we suggest 150 MXN pesos per person.
