What to Do in San Cristóbal de las Casas When It Rains

If rain changes your plans, stay in one compact area and switch to indoor places instead of crossing the city repeatedly.

Three compact rainy-day clusters

Centro

MUSAC is on Plaza 31 de Marzo and can be combined with Kinoki or La Enseñanza without a long cross-city trip.

Santo Domingo / El Cerrillo

Combine Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya with Museo Na Bolom for textiles and cultural history. CTMM currently publishes free admission Tuesday–Saturday, so this cluster can work for a low-cost rainy day. Check the current visitor page before relying on that policy for a future trip.

La Merced

Museo del Ámbar is a dedicated amber museum in this part of the historic center. Nearby, Museo de Historia y Curiosidades de San Cristóbal currently publishes free admission Tuesday–Sunday, making La Merced a stronger two-museum rainy-day cluster than a single stop.
