San Cristobal de las Casas is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a vacation spot that can be a spiritual retreat and a place to learn about an ancient culture, then come to the heart of Chiapas.

San Cristobal de las Casas is located in a valley corner in the mountains of Chiapas. It is the cultural center of the area, known as the highlands. More than 400 years old, San Cristobal looks much as it must have centuries ago with its cobbled streets and tiled roofs.
