San Cristóbal de las Casas with Kids: Family Travel Guide
San Cristóbal suits families who can manage a walkable city day and one optional full-day excursion. Start with Centro, add one short nature outing such as El Arcotete or Huitepec, and treat Sumidero as the only major activity of its day; very long Palenque/Agua Azul tours are not light family days.
