San Cristóbal de las Casas

---

I fell in love with this place. In fact, if in a moment in my life I decide to quit to everythimg, I would choose San Cristobal to spend at least 3 moths.

This is a multicultural city: indigenous, mexicans, american, european. Everybody is here. You can find from the cheapest places to eat, to the most expensive.

What to do: To get lost in all those small streets, going from store to store, restaurants, museums, or only spending time in downtown listening to the Marimba music. Marimba is an special and typical music in Chiapas.

Around San Cristóbal, you cand find Zincantan and San Juan Chamula. Very small indiginous communities, with particular religious traditions: kind of mix between catholicism and maya. Quite interesting. (It is forbidden to take pictures inside theses churches)

I loved the colors of the church: red and yellow; so different.

This is the downtown. TIP: Get a beer in a table on the street and just watch people going.
