Plan practical outings from San Cristóbal to nearby nature and cultural destinations.
Day Trips
Grutas del Mamut is a short cave-and-recreation outing about 7 km from San Cristóbal on the road toward Tenejapa. A taxi is simplest without a car; current hours are 08:00–17:00, but confirm entrance and activity fees because sources disagree.
Day Trips
Compare Toniná, Tenam Puente and Palenque by route and time: Tenam Puente fits a Comitán trip, Toniná uses Highway 199 toward Ocosingo, and Palenque is the longest journey.
Day Trips
Sima de las Cotorras is a long road trip from San Cristóbal. The destination’s official site lists daily hours of 06:00–16:30 and MXN 80 general admission; parrots usually leave around 06:30, so a dawn visit requires arriving before then. Confirm current road and activity details before going.
Day Trips
Agua Azul, Misol-Há and Palenque make a long day trip from San Cristóbal. Read the current Highway 199 advisory before deciding whether to travel, and check the linked SanCrisGo Tour page for its current route, inclusions and cancellation terms.
Day Trips
Toniná is open daily 08:00–17:00 and about 91 km from San Cristóbal, but reaching it uses the Ocosingo corridor on Highway 199, currently under an FCDO all-but-essential-travel advisory; check the road before booking.
