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

    Rain does not have to cancel a day in San Cristóbal. Build a compact indoor plan around museums and cultural spaces such as MUSAC, Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya, Museo del Ámbar, Na Bolom, Kinoki and La Enseñanza, and avoid unnecessary outdoor transfers during a heavy downpour.

    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.

    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.
