    Best Museums in San Cristóbal de las Casas: Which Ones to Visit

    San Cristóbal has many small museums, but they are not interchangeable. For a first visit, the strongest choices are Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya for Maya textiles, Museo del Ámbar for Chiapas amber, Na Bolom for regional cultural history, and Museo de la Medicina Maya for traditional medicine. Choose by interest rather than trying to visit every museum.

    Things to Do in San Cristóbal de las Casas: First-Time Guide

    For a first visit to San Cristóbal de las Casas, spend your first day walking the historic center, the pedestrian streets, Santo Domingo, markets and Guadalupe. Then add one or two day trips such as San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán or Sumidero Canyon. The city is best experienced slowly on foot rather than as a checklist of attractions.
