We are traveling in Mexico and it's our first time in the state of Chiapas. We decided to visit the Pueblo Mágico, San Cristóbal de las Casas. The former president of Mexico said this Magic Town is THE most magical of all the Pueblos Mágicos. With all the hype, we were extra excited to visit this mountain town and see what the food, culture, nature, and people are like.
Like many places in Mexico, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas totally surprised us! It's an absolute melting pot of travelers from Europe, the United States, Mexico, and also a large population of indigenous people. With so many groups of people, it's no surprise that this is a city rich in culture. We were also pretty shocked to find out the expat community is quite large as well.
Find out our deeper thoughts on the town of San Cristobal de las Casas in today's travel Mexico vlog. We also talk about what it was like driving in Mexico from Veracruz to Chiapas 2018.

I've just started watching your channel recently and now you're in my beautiful Chiapas. I couldn't avoid to cry, because nowdays I'm studying abroad and I really miss there. However, thanks to you I can be there through your videos. I really appreciated that you like it, but I also know that my country isn't perfect and that you try to show it as the way it is. Sadly, Chiapas is one of the most poorest states, but it is charming place. Anyway still be careful, guys. Fun facts: the locals call it "SanCris", Maddie if you like corn I recommend you Tamal de Elote o "Picte". It's December, soooo there's a lot of "perigrinaciones" (The thing that you saw on the streets with the loud music, firecrakers and all of that). I 100% recomend you to go the waterfalls (Lago the Montebello, Cascadas de Agua Azul, Las Nubes). The only thing to see in the capital (Tuxtla Gutierrez) is "Parque de la Marimba" after 7 o´clock any day of the weekend. ;) About food....Tamal de Chipilín, pozol de cacao (beverage), dulces regionales. I wish you a save and wonderful trip. 💜💜💜
Thanks Rachel so nice to here from a resident of the town. Makes it so cool. Jeffe
Nice I’m from sc las casas I’m living Florida USA
@RachelOcana wow, this was so detailed/informative all in one comment. Thank you for the inside scoop of your hometown. ☺
It's refreshing to see Americans who enjoy and appreciate diverse cultures.
When I was in Mexico it was important for locals to let me know that Mexico is classified North America
@@evilco.8496 Good thing you remembered as I work at an airport in Australia and have had to explain it multiple times to USA residents,one student kept insisting otherwise, however as long as we are willing to learn things on our travels it is fine, after all nobody is perfect.
@just for fun you are definitely reading too much fake propaganda,. Lumping all people who support Trump into the things you said is pretty bad. It is only a small minority of people that support Trump that have evil in their hearts, but he does not support them. I support Trump because I want the best for Americans in all colors and diversity. I also love all Cultures, and Hispanic cultures in particular. There is too much fear mongering and hate and it's simply not true.
No... if you support Trump, frankly, you deserve to get lumped in.
Why every body call gringos americans ? They are europeans that came to America from England , Ireland etc etc . American is a person from the american continent . Gringos are europeans . And people also call United States America , America is a continent not a country . America is from Alaska to Argentina and everybody from this countries are americans !
I absolutely loved it there. I was in San Cristobal about 2 years ago and I loved the drive up from Tuxla. Watching tropical change to temperate before my eyes was amazing because I love plants. I found the town to be very touristic but in saying that it's a much slower pace than most other cities in Mexico I visited.
You must check out Sumidero Canyon. Before visiting Chiapas I'd never heard of it but I was blown away by it's size and beauty. Birds and wildlife abound however at certain times rubbish does accumulate in some areas. I was lucky with my visit as it was pretty clean.
FUN FACT - San Cristobal de Las Casas is in a bowl and is completely surrounded by hills. Rain water falling within the city and surrounding hills only has one drainage via a 6 kilometer tunnel/cave on the southern edge of the valley the city occupies. This small cave/tunnel allows water to escape under the hills. Without it San Cristobal would flood and be at the bottom of a lake more than 170 metres deep!!!
I really loved Mexico and cannot say enough positive things about it. I just wish there were direct flights to and from Australia. Going through LA can be a bit of a drama.
No chingues
I recommend it to u
To visit Sinaloa mexico.
The "de las Casas" is in honour of the first bishop of Chiapas who acted as a social reformer and advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples.
Indeed, his name was "Fray Bartolomé de las Casas". He came from Spain and was one of the first persons to advocate indigenous rights.
@@rafaelsaavedra1127 that's right!
Thanks. Nice fact and good to see a bishop helping those in need.
3 years ago we drove from Merida to San Cristobal vía Palenque and loved it. Breath taking scenery, especially the drive up from the selva of Palenque to the pines of San Cristobal. We knew it was ‘cooler’ there, especially at night so we brought our jackets. But hey, we’re Canadian. We know cold. Wasn’t just cooler there; during the nights we just about froze. 😬. You’re going to love it there! And the food!! If you haven’t done it already, make sure you take the sumidero del cañón tour. Well worth it. If you take the Ocosingo highway to Palenque you may encounter the road blocks they talk about. We didn’t encounter any on the drive up, but the return trip we found the road blocked for miles on either side of Ocosingo. They block half the lane with rocks, boulders or trees so you have to zig-zag. However, the day we left, the Pope was visiting San Cristobal so we found nobody manning the road blocks and the town itself was like a ghost town. Very different from a few days before. We figured it was because everyone went to see the pope. 🤷🏻♂️. We were also told that if you encounter the protesters, give them 50 pesos or so, they’ll let you pass through. Just use common sense, but if you 2 lacked it, you probably wouldn’t have made it this far in your journey. 😊👍🏼 Palenque is a MUST see, but not just the ruins. Maddy, you said you love waterfalls. You have to visit las cascadas de Misol-Ha. Beautiful waterfalls that you can also walk behind (there’s a cave you can go in for a fee, but they say it just goes in for a few feet and then ends). What makes it more beautiful is the exotic jungle setting. Two other must sees are the agua azul where you’ll see river water as blue as the Caribbean Ocean. Make sure you walk it to the end about a kilometre or so. For about 20 pesos, you can buy a cacao fruit (where chocolate comes from). The chocolate seeds are bitter, but the gel they’re packed in is wonderful. Kinda sweet and sour. Another area off the radar but a must visit are the cascading falls in a town called Roberto Barrio. It’s about 20 minutes or so from the highway. You pass through little Zapatista villages and the town itself is Zapatista, but the people are friendly. You’ll need to ‘pay’ to have your car watched by a group of children and for a little extra, they’ll wash it for you. Also, along the way, some boy may want to give you a tour of his beloved falls for a fee of course. 😊 English speakers are rare there, so he may want an English lesson from you. Afterwards you may encounter a young girl at the parking lot trying to sell you some homemade treats after your ‘arduous’ journey. Those young ones will steal your heart and they’ll probably have a blast with ‘Laska. All three of these sites are short, easy drives from the town of Palenque.
Oh yeah, one more thing, if you want to have a semi romantic, but reasonably priced eating experience with live entertainment, just before dark go to a restaurant called El Panchan. It’s on the road to the Palenque ruins, left hand side. There are other restaurants on the same site like Don Mucho’s and others. The setting is in the selva under a palapa with a creek running along side it. Don’t get there too late or you may have to wait for a table. The place packs out pretty quick especially in this season.
On your way to Merida, you have to stop in Ciudad de Campeche for a few days. A UNESCO world heritage site and a pirate hang out in the days of old. I believe there are 3-4 museums that you should visit that are located in the old bastions that surrounded the old city. The Centro histórico is in beautiful condition and the hotels in that area are very reasonably priced and some are old converted fincas or estates that are hundreds of years old.
Maybe we’ll see you in Merida when you arrive. You’ll absolutely love that city and the surrounding area. Tons to see and do.
My wife and i just found your videos. We’re really enjoying them. Somehow I think Mexico will ruin you like it’s ruined so many others. For, “once the dust of Mexico settles on your heart, you’ll find no rest in any other place.” Que le vaya bien 😊😊
Wow! 😀 you know the place. 🤟🐴
This is a nice area to visit.. I was there many years ego, I need to take my wife to this place
Guys this is awesome! I love your videos, I’m Mexican living in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and watching your videos just make me feel like going back home right now! Thanks
Thanks so much! I see this is your first comment on our channel so I'm not sure how many videos you've seen. But if you'd like to easily see our Mexico story from the beginning, you can easily do that with this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL_1iJW4YPFcOC0-nOx5H5bzk7OZ76ZNoC
That Spanish is getting very good Maddy! I'm proud.
Another great place..I'm loving Mexico..thanks guys!!
Cono decimos en México "Que bueno que llegaron con bien"
Algo así como "glad you made it ok"
It's great to see my Mexico through the eyes of nice people like you. Have a blast and be safe.
Dec12 is Virgin de Guadalupe day, I believe. look up her special story
Hello
Another great adventure & video! I agree that Mexico, has one of the most diverse cultures anywhere on the planet. May you continue to have beautiful & safe travels .
I used to have a girlfriend in Costa Rica, and one evening, I was down in Tapachula, at the southernmost corner of Chiapas, waiting for the Tica Bus that would be leaving for Costa Rica the following day. I went to the Plaza de Armas in the center of town and saw some Andean flutists playing their flutes. I whipped out my Pan Flute and started jamming with them. They told me that they were on their way up to San Cristobal de las Casas, which is where they said that all the tourists were - and all the good money, too. They said I should visit there - and after watching your videos about it, Jordan and Maddie, I can really see why.
That sounds like such a special experience! You would probably like it here. People seem to gather in groups and play music together quite often. :)
*Buenos dias a tod@s feliz sabado que bonitos videos gracias por demostrarnos mas y mas de nuestro mexico lindo y querido bendiciones 🙋🏻♂️👍🏻*
What happens when you connect with Mexico lovers like me and you and binge watch their content.... U get stuck waiting for new posts.... Love the update
I just met these two today in San Cristobal. We talked briefly. They are very decent people. It was an enjoyable conversation. All the best guys. Tim.
Nice meeting you, Tim!
Watching at 4am!! Saludos de una mandarinita 🍊
Wow! Ya están celebrando a la virgen 😱💜 que bonito
Empieza el 10 pero el mero día es el 12 soy de san Cristóbal es una ciudad muy bonita se las recomiendo ,el mejor lugar para visitar de aquí es el centro o parque central y santo domingo ,(donde aparecen en la foto principal del vídeo) es considerado uno de los pueblos mágicos de México
Good one guys! (as usual), Chiapas is one of the greatest states in México, no doubt, so many culture and of course the nature!...enjoy it..👍👍👋👋
Jalisco es el mejor estado de Mexico. Jajajaja...
I added it to my list, thank you guys!!
I am from Texas now living in California, I lived 20 years in Chiapas and I couldn't be more grateful with that Beautiful State that gave my 3 children. I am very touched for al your nice words that explain exactly what San Cristobal is without a doubt one of the places I miss the most, I hope you guys visited San Juan Chamula. From now on I am your Fan.
I’m happy you’re safe and sound. Thank God
Great video guys! Good luck!👍✌️😊
Les recomiendo el hostal "casa del abuelo" muy barato, limpio y muy lindo. Usen San Cristóbal de las Casas como base y de ahí vayan a conocer el Cañón del sumidero, agua azul, palenque, las nubes, el chifón, lagos de Montebello, yaxchilán(este último no se lo pierdan es una experiencia única ya que para entrar a esta ciudad maya hay que ir en lancha por en medio de la jungla), ahí en San Cristóbal puede encontrar tours muy baratos a cada uno de estos lugares desde 300 a 1000 pesos por persona vale la pena ya que te llevan a varios lugares y entre lugar y lugar hay diferencia de varias horas y no tienen que manejar, déjenselo a ellos que conocen las carreteras. Por otro lado siento mucho que los asustaran, la gente habla sin conocer incluso en ocasiones los mismos mexicanos que nunca han ido a Chiapas.
Sí, de hecho creo que Chiapas es uno de los estados más seguros de México.
Just to let you know that if you go to Agua Azul the water will not be blue. It is rainy season and is likely to be dirty. But it is still spectacular .
Es que si aquí en Chiapas si hay algunos pueblos indígenas que les vale verga las leyes y ellos hacen lo que quiero, tapan carreteras y cobran o para vender frutas. Pero es lo único malo, de ahí es seguro viajar
I am in San Cristobal right now January 2023, and so far it is my favorite part of Mexico that I have visited. I fell in love with it in the first 10 seconds of arriving. In a little way, it reminded me of my hometown of Galway, Ireland, ( at least the downtown area with all the restaurants, clubs, and bars) it is very festive, but I arrived here in the last week of Christmas and the city was lit up so festively and the streets were packed wall to wall. I love hearing the native American tongue being spoken amongst the tribal people who live here. This is an absolutely amazing part of Mexico. It is January, so it's a little bit cold at night, but nothing that a light sweater or jacket wont cure, and there are so many beautiful hand made, hand loomed articles of clothing here, don't bring anything because you will surely want to bring one home with you. It is very magical, and like what I heard about San Miguel De Allende, you have to look into every door because it is sometimes like Alice in Wonderland, what may look like a small door on the outside may open up into a beautiful indoor garden cafe or art gallery. I can't say enough good things about this city and I am glad that I have two more weeks booked here. If I could qualify for a visa to live in Mexico, I think that this would be my first choice.
i love the laska hat..you guys are full of surprises, much like your videos.
Awesome guys!!!
I love you guys!!! I'm hooked on your videos LOL wanted to watch for research but now I'm looking at flights. Thank you for sharing!
You mentioned something I was wondering, about the "de las Casas" part of the name. Here are some "fun facts" from the wikipedia page for San Cristóbal de las Casas, although it still doesn't tell us which "houses" the name refers to! -
The city was founded as Villa Real de Chiapa in 1528. The name was changed to Ciudad de San Cristóbal in 1829, and “de las Casas” was added in 1848 in honor of Bartolomé de las Casas, a 16th-century Spanish colonist, historian, anti-slavery activist, and Dominican friar.
sheila strong That is his Last name.
Great job guys! Makes me want to go. Thank you soo much.
Love this video.
Thanks for the beautiful story. Glad to see Chiapas hasn't lost the magical feel we experienced in 1980.
You kids are so great. Thanks for sharing your travels. My wife and i really look forward to
Viewing all of your vids.Keep up the good work. Good luck, stay safe and may GOD watch
Over you both.above all enjoy.
Thanks so much George! So glad you and your wife are liking our videos so far. :) Hope you continue to enjoy them and get lots of value out of 'em.
Lovin' the "Fun Facts". Hoping to see more on my journey through your adventures. Peace.
Such an awesome channel. keep up guys!
nice work! appreciate your good natures and honesty with all facts.
That was a Great video!! Thank you for visiting SanCris.
Love, love your videos. Keep it up. You both give me such enthusiasm to travel & keep positive, here in Michigan.
Thanks for the comments, Janice! They're always welcome here :) Hope you get the chance to travel to the place you want to visit! It's such an enriching experience.
Super like intense.......have fun...... Chiapas my favorite ......enjoy
I am thoroughly enjoying Maddie's hat at the beginning :D
San Cristobal de las Casas looks lovely! I'm surprised it's cold since it's further south. Might have to escape there for a couple days just to make it feel like December. I'm still in denial that it's already December since it's so warm here in Cancun haha
-Rachel
The Weekday Warriors its a high elevation town that’s why the cold
san Cristobal de las casas and part of the state of Chiapas is Sierra (mountain) that is the reason the temperature is cooler
I understand you, i live in Playa del Carmen, althoug i'm from Chiapas, so every time i go there, i have to visit San Cristobal because it's weather. It can be freezing in december, 0-4 celsius degrees at night.
@@alexajani Wow, that's pretty chilly!
The Weekday Warriors it's quite cold! Wool sweaters and hats and scarves are needed there.
Hola buenos días amigos la la segunda ves que miro en video primero que todos siempre miro su contenido es bueno saludos desde Louisiana
Love your energy and passion, feel so inspired and wistful at the same time. You are both inspirational and I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the work you do and all the love you share!
Wow, such a pretty place! This one is definitely going on our list of places to visit. Also that coffee 😍😍😍
The best part of watching your videos are that how culture you are as a couple, We are adventuring in a whole new country, and being very positive, the is something that admire from the Americans, Not everybody is like the holly wood movies, you are the Americans that make this country so unique.
Best Regards
Rafael Gomez
I loved the three years we lived in San Cris! Miss the cold weather now that I live outside of Tuxtla. I loved the Kakaw museum just a couple of blocks down from central square and also the pastries at Ooh la la (especially the one in the little food plaza about two blocks from the park. Outside of town, the grutas in Rancho Nuevo and El Chiflon (especially the entrance to the right of the river). Look forward to seeing more videos on Chiapas. Be careful on the highways the 11th and 12th since I believe that is when many are traveling to churches for Guadalupe celebrations.
Nice look at San Cristóbal...as usual you both do a great job of presenting a balanced and varied view of Mexico. Thumbs up!
Dear Friends,
Hope are you doing well, I’m a chilango living in Ottawa, ON., when I’ve had a bad day, I’m watching your videos because make me feel much better and connected with Mexico.
Chiapas is another country inside of Mexico has a lot of beautiful places to visit but also is one of the poorest states of Mexico.
and the best coffee in Mexico is from Chiapas. I'm so happy to know that you love Mexico, maybe more than I.
I wish you all the best experience in Mexico.
Nice to see you in San Cristobal...I stayed there for a couple of weeks in the early 90’s on my way down to Guatemala. (I had been in Oaxaca for 2 months, then decided to hit the road and head to Guatemala.) It was even more culturally indigenous than Oaxaca...I saw Lancandon Indians walking down the street in their traditional ‘traje’, who looked like they had been dropped down to earth from an alien world! The textiles are amazing, from the local women who weave them...the market looks a bit more commercialized than it did back then. There is a great restaurant/bakery Casa de Pan, (that is owned by a friend of my friend Valy, who lives in Oaxaca) that serves vegetarian and vegan food. (Maddie may not be able to partake in the baked goods, but perhaps they will have a ‘corn based’ baked good you can eat...I am a GF eater also!) Enjoy yourself and stay safe...there have been a-lot of crazy events that have happened outside of town on the highways! I look forward to the next San Cristobal episode!
One of my favorite places in Mexico! We have been twice and love it. The cost, the safety and the coffee are all 5 stars!!!. Locals normally refer to it as San Cris. Just found y’all and have now subscribed.
I am from there and its pretty cool to see it on people’s channels enjoying the state. I loved when I went back for the first time since 2003! I loved it as well
Between San Cris and Palenque are Agua Azul miles of blue waterfalls, and Misol Ha waterfall ( walk under the waterfall and into the cave with the stream coming out of it. Take flashlights and water shoes and hike back to the underground waterfall!
It seems that both of you are happy and are good friends. Muy bien
Awesome video!
Thank you Endernite! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I love you guys, Thanks for show to you audience that is no a big problem traveling interior Mexico.
Love you guys !!! nice F video !!
Another great video. The towns look very interesting. I am looking forward to other videos on the area, I have never been to Chiapas.
Thanks for watching John! We are absolutely loving it here. Can't wait to upload more about it :)
Im so exited you guys are at San Cristobal!!! This part of Mexico is the real diamond from the whole country, it’s so sad that most people around the world only visit Cancún. Everyone who has been in San Cristobal understand that cosy and special feeling. It might become your favorite place in Mexico :)
Love the fun facts!!!! Guys keep this up and mix it up with your casual commentary and you might have something good here !!!! Thanks for reading our comments I can see your are taking them into account :)
You guys nearly had me hooked on trying Morelia as my first retirement city, for its affordability, cleanliness, and charm. Now you come along with San Cristobal de las Casas, which is possibly as affordable and perhaps more diverse. I love how your journeys change my plans from one video to the next. You are my favorite Mexican travel channel. Your personalities are perfect for what you do.
I'm from San Cristóbal and its great to see you visiting it.
Those temps sound fantastic !
There are like a thousand festivities for virgin mary all around Mexico! So don’t worry if you don’t know every single one, not even mexicans do! It’s basically the same virgin but in different cities/towns. LOVE your videos btw, I am mexican and I love seing you enjoy and learn from our culture, and even explore cities I haven’t been to! Keep making videos💕
Another great video. I just love you guys. Got me laughing too. Good job. Also I think it's helpful having a big dog in the car whilst driving through some of the sketchy areas. Also I love dogs as well. I have a big ole beagle boy. ;)
Ah, thanks John! Aside from all the other benefits that come with having a dog, they also tend to scare bad people away.
I lived for three years there, is so refreshing and gave me happiness when I encouentered tourists that were capable of leaving behind all the steriotypes and bad things just to enjoy and talk with the people. Thank you for making this video!
Was there 5 years ago and nothing but great, great ,great memories !! Viva Chiapas!!
Thank you guys for going to my hometown, I'm originally from San Cristobal and grateful to know people like you who support the tourism in my state with videos like this. I actually live in México however I prefer 200% San Cristobal de las Casas because is a quite and safe town. Great video!
Guys guys GUyss GUYS GUUYS!!! The video I am speechless, in humble and very lacking adjectives opinion is your best video.... the energy, the wit, fun facts,the amount of info both of you put in......wow
Great video! Some people refer to it as "San Cris".
Yes you're Right, thas like the short name of the city, "Sancris" and the indigenous People like me, we call it "Jovel" ✌️
I love San Cristobal, it's definitely a cool place to live in. Its Nature is beautiful, its people and its food are awesome.
Epazote has medicinal properties also, look into it or ask a physician in MX ... it kills lots of stomach bugs.
Great video
Your Fun Facts signs had us laughing so much our first watch through that we couldn't even hear most of them. Great video!
I've traveled several times to Chiapas, Campeche and that south of.the country several.times. We usually make a one.night stop in Villahermosa, and it has worked prefectly well for us. Not only in Chiapas but in all the country you should avoid driving during night hours. My family and I have been to most of the country by car and so far we haven't had any problems
You went to my favorite coffee place in Vera Cruz. I love the coffee there and the conchas are great.
Love watching your videos
Thanks Sean! :) We're so glad to hear that
I love the laska winter hat
Thanks my dear frends good video
San Chris is so lovely, the waterfall and the river falls were stunning, refreshing, as is Palenque.
Today is the Purísima Concepción de María, an important Catholic celebration. The Virgen de Guadalupe is on the 12th. The name of the city is after a priest who came from Spain during the Conquista, Bartolomé de las Casas, someone who defended the indians from the abusive Spanish conquistadores. He is one of the many priests who did important things for the original inhabitants of Mexico. Vasco de Quiroga did the same for the naturals in Michoacán, for instance. Thanks for the video, regards from Cancun.
Oo sabes español e inglés 😥yo mas o menos el inglés
Sabes mucho de san Cristóbal ,(mas que yo) y soy de san Cristóbal
Keep the videos coming!
It would be great if you show us where you’re staying. Thanks for sharing. Love you guys .
Nice video guys. Thanks for showing my beloved home country. Never been in Chiapas state but looks spectacular. That coffee looks delicious and I bet it was. Chiapas is a coffee growing region in Mexico along with Veracruz and Oaxaca. Honestly, Veracruz’s coffee is my favorite. Thanks guys for your video.
Before coming to Chiapas, my favorite coffee in Mexico was from the volcanic soil of Colima. After trying coffee here...well, I'm not sure which is better! :P Thanks for watching our video, Claudio! Your comments are always welcome here. :)
I grew up in San Cristobal and in the jungle about 50 miles south of there. Its a lovely place. The weather is so crisp and cool and nice most of the time. Its nothing like northern Mejico.
Thanks for the video. I’m from Chiapas and I’ve moved to New York, now I’m through homesickness so I loved the video. If you ever go to Chiapas again don’t miss Comitán which is a small city, full of culture!
So nice to follow you on your journey in Mexico.Wish my wife and I would have done this when we were younger,however we did visit Mexico and still do at least 20 times .Love Mexico live your dream all the best.
Thanks for supporting our efforts and dreams to travel the world, starting with Mexico. We really appreciate that, George! :)
Thanks for supporting our efforts and dreams to travel the world, starting with Mexico. We really appreciate that, George! :)
Fabuloso, como siempre!
¡Gracias amiga!
I love that you love it! I'm from the capital of Chiapas, Tuxtla, and it's so exciting to see this :) I just wanna tell you that my friends and I call it "San Cris" for short.
I miss my chiapas so bad . Thanks for this video .
Really funny to see how others perceive your home! Glad you had a nice and safe trip guys, greetings from Tuxtla!
Hello in Tuxtla. Thanks for watching Ana! :)
San Cristobal de las casas a magic and mystic place very old town like Antigua Guatemala 🇬🇹 both places are awesome!!
Oh and I forgot...make sure you make a side trip to on of the little pueblos outside of town, San Juan Chamula....they have a church there, though it is ‘Catholic’, it is from un ‘otro mundo’! It has been one of the few places in Mexico I have been (and I have traveled the southern part a lot) that I felt totally out of my element!
(I am a tall gringa, light hair and green eyes, speak Spanish.) I just stood on the side of the church and watched what was going on inside, respectfully observing the customs of the people inside. It was beautiful, mysterious, and something I’ve never seen since!
That coffee looks soo good and Chiapas is amazing it language and culture
We can't get over how delicious the coffee is here. It might be our favorite in Mexico! Or the world for that matter. This city in particular seems to have a very vibrant culture as well!
San Cristóbal Is a great place
Dios los bendiga en las carreteras
I love San cristobal de las casas🇲🇽
Wowwww beautiful Mexico
Mi hermoso pueblo mágico...
Tierra de gente buena y trabajadora.
I'm glad you guys are enjoying San Cristobal! My husband is from Chiapas and we were just there in Sept/Oct. It's a beautiful city! We enjoyed watching your video. By the way, we really recommend stopping by the store Homeostasis (it's close to the city center- and where you were filming), if you need any natural products or medicine. They're very knowledgable and have great products! And we also recommend the restaurant La Lupe!
I'll give You a ten for this vídeo, one of My favorite place to visit and also for My passing trough My little Town

There are automatically-generated English captions but those contain a lot of mistakes and will be removed as soon as the new ones are ready.
The captions and translations are now ready! If you'd like to contribute captions in a new language or make improvements to the current translations, you can do that here: ruclips.net/user/timedtext_video?ref=share&v=0cAeniyJumw
