Join this original tour of San Cristobal de Las Casas, a mix of Indigenous and local villages full of colors and traditions. San Cristobal is made up of a series of traditional barrios (neighborhoods), each of which is known for a particular trade or custom, such as ironworking, carpentry, and woodcarving. On this tour, you will visit San Juan Chamula village who owns a church unlike any other. The picturesque, centuries-old Iglesia San Juan has whitewashed walls and a brightly painted entrance that looks out upon the town square. After you will visit Zinacantan village, you'll have the opportunity to learn all about the work of the women of Zinacantán, who weave uniquely beautiful textiles with a special loom attached to their belts. Having admired the traditional hupiles and blankets, you'll then have the opportunity to taste the local fare and try a local dish.

We had a lovely time visiting Dan Juan Chamula and Zincantan near San Cristobal de la Casas. Our guide Annulfo was excellent and made a real effort to enlighten us on the history and cultural practices of the two villages. He also explained the lifestyle of the local people and as an extra took us on a tour in San Cristobal itself! Wonderful trip!

Wir haben den Ausflug mit dem eigenen Auto gemacht. Die Kirche in Chamula ist ein Muss und wirklich was besonderes. Die Riten in der Kirche (Mischung aus Indigenen und katholischen Elementen) sind sehenswert. Achtung beim Fotografieren : ist verboten und wird auch in der Kirche überwacht. Zinacantan ist weniger interessant, es gibt nur mehr eine Handvoll Betriebe die indigene Bekleidung herstellen.

Ho visitato questa chiesa San Juan chamula e sono rimasto esterrefatto dalla devozione delle persone che pregano tutta la chiesa e piena di candele tantissime e per terra ci sono aghi di pino e 5 grossi recipienti dove brucia l, incenso non si può assolutamente fotografare all, interno perché dicono che porti via l, anima
