About San Cristóbal de las Casas for Solo Travelers
A cool highland colonial city in indigenous Chiapas — solo travelers wander coloured streets between indigenous markets and discover a Mexico that feels completely distinct from the north and the coasts.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
San Cristóbal is one of Mexico's most atmospheric highland cities and excellent for solo slow travel — the colonial streets, indigenous Tzotzil culture, and the extraordinary Chiapas Cañón del Sumidero are all accessible and safe. The Na Bolom museum (Frans and Gertrude Blom's indigenous research centre) is a fascinating solo cultural experience. The nearby Tzotzil villages of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán are unlike anywhere else in Mexico.
