Things to Do

San Cristóbal de las Casas Self-Guided Walking Tour: Historic Center Route

For a first visit, use the short Arco del Carmen–Plaza 31 de Marzo–Santo Domingo route; add Guadalupe only if you want a longer uphill walk. The core route is much shorter than a half-day, while museums, markets and interior access require extra time and a current check.
