About San Cristóbal de las Casas
San Cristóbal de las Casas is a colonial town in the highlands of Chiapas, with cobbled streets, baroque churches and Maya markets.
San Cristóbal de las Casas sits in a pine-ringed valley about 2,200 metres up in the highlands of Chiapas, a town of red-tiled roofs, painted walls and cobbled lanes laid out by the Spanish in 1528. Its yellow cathedral and the baroque church of Santo Domingo, whose carved facade glows in late light, face squares where Maya women from nearby villages sell textiles.
