Living in San Cristobal de las Casas

 |  |  |
 San Cristobal de las Casas sits nestled in the valley "Valle de Jovel" in the temperate highlands of Chiapas. The town receives a lot of visitors from Mexico and abroad (particularly from Europe), and combined with the strong indigenous culture the result is an interesting, vibrant atmosphere.
San Cristobal became world famous in 1994 for the Zapatista uprising, led by Subcomandante Marcos. The immediate result was that traditional tourism stalled, and was replaced by a flood of wannabee revolutionaries.
The town is beautiful, due in large part to the surrounding villages which are composed of groups of indigenous Maya. |
