On our third visit to the "Most Magical of All Mexico's Pueblo Magicos", we decided to skip our return flight back to the USA and live & work in this extraordinary town.
San Cristóbal de las Casas is beloved by all who set eyes upon it -- the warm and welcoming community. colorful street murals, diverse and savory gastronomy, and nearby excursions to jungle waterfalls and Tzotzil indigenous villages are just a few of the reasons why this town is so spellbinding.
Join us for a tour of our apartment and an overview of the neighborhood we live in, which is just three blocks from the historic center.
Thank you guys for promoting my beautiful hometown that I miss a lot, my family live there... Once I get back it'd be great to meet up and have a chat, best wishes and blessings for you both!!
We LOVE San Cristobal and Chiapas -- please let us know when you are here and we will be very happy to meet up
I’ve watched your video several times....3 years until retirement....counting down the days.....daydreaming about getting there...San Cris, cant wait to see you !
Thanks so much for watching and saying 'hello' -- San Cristobal is an amazing place, kind of an 'open secret' -- now is as good a time to come as any!
Beautiful couple! Love this video and so happy to meet you here 🌺
I loved the apartment tour tour. Great video. We subscribed - Marc.
Saludos desde Maryland, Muchísimas personas dicen que, San Cristóbal de las casas es muy Hermosa. 😙😙😙
I love san cristobal de las casas ! I wish I could be there right now !
Thank you, this is such great info. :)
We loved it there. Hope to get back someday. Enjoy.
This is our third time down here in the last 3 years -- keeps getting better each time. Thanks for watching ( :
wow great video, San Cristobal is beautiful!!
It sure is a lovely town ( : Thanks for watching and commenting
Omg everything so beautiful
The town is perfect!
I'm convinced. I'm moving!
How beautiful!!
We love it! Thanks ( :
We loved Oaxaca City (and the coast)! I would love to hear how San Cris compares. It is high on our post pandemic wish list. Thanks for a great video!
Oaxaca is fantastic - In our opinion San Cristobal is the most magical place in Mexico - perhaps in the world. The relaxed atmosphere, mountain climate, indigenous communities, nearby jungles and waterfalls, the international metropolitan quality restaurants - all in a tiny, safe, extremely walkable town. It’s all here.
Nice job guys! Great place.
Thanks Bryant! The Mexican food here is almost as authentic as the place you took us by your house.
Awesome Video! You guys sound like a lot of fun! Don't drink *any* tape water *anywhere*. Water has memory. The research in that field is mind blowing. Youll never look at water the same. The best of all waters is the Water of Shiva, or Shivambu. It will cure *anything*. Cheers 🙏
God bless you guys, thanks for visiting ❤
We feel so fortunate to be in San Cristobal -- Gracias por compartir su casa con nosotros
By the way im tzotzil indigenous living in Ohio you
And I think it's a little to much paying 400 dollars monthly
@@robocop695j It's a little more expensive, but we have incredible internet speed (very important for us), a great host who is very responsive and attentive to us, and one of the best locations in town -- our friend who pays about $200 a month for her apartment has had a lot of issues with her internet, which is obviously bad for her job, and issues with her host -- Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@@UntetheredTogether true 👍
I’m really impressed
Thanks Kyle! I heard a story from a friend that lived here in the 70's that Bob Dylan's recording engineer used to have a cabin studio here right outside of town and he would record the local indigenous women's songs. Super vibey spot.
San Cristobal de las Casas is an awesome place to be. I lived there for 3 months last year. Actually found a small little room for rent at a yoga center near Real Guadalupe for around $68. No kitchen access, but there was strong wifi and a great location. I will be back here on Tuesday :D
Awesome! What a great town - we've heard of some Americans near us renting for $70 a month (1500 pesos!) even in 2021. See ya around ( : Say hi if you see us
Please tell me who to contact to I’ve there. At $68/mo, I’d gladly eat out every day, no need for a kitchen, just a bathroom and WiFi.
@@infinitego the place is called Casa Plena San Cristobal. You can find them on Facebook
@@donniedicaprio5049 Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Im actually moving to San Cris in 2 weeks from NorCal! Really great to see you two having a blast. How long have you been living there so far? Has the quarantine impacted the way of life quite a bit?
Cool! Hit us up when you're here. Everything is open, the mask rule is extremely loosely enforced at best -- we heard a story from a local that when the authorities tried to shut down the indigenous open-air market at the beginning of quarantine, they were chased out with clubs and stones -- the market never closed. Truly beautiful place here, big friendly international community.
Hey guys this is a great video thanks for posting! I just arrived in San Cristobal can you tell me where this big market is for fruits/vegetables/flowers?
Love the Andean music
oh wow! Im moving there in a couple months!! so glad i came across you guys!!
Yessss we will most likely still be here, let us know when you're around
Nice to hear you moving to my hometown, god bless you always
@@UntetheredTogether hey guys! Are you still in San Cris? I'd love to get a drink and talk too much about travel and mexico
@@yoovie We're here, come to 'La Cueva del Tigre' tomorrow night (December 16) at 7 p.m. -- we will have a group there ( :
@@UntetheredTogether sounds great!!
You are super cute and loveable and make a great, to the point video. Thank you!
Coming in Sept to retire I'm a minimalist so small isn't a problem 😆. How many expats? Pls don't tell me they over ran the place 😆 I'm bringing a sleeping bag for the cooler nights because I'll be at a hostel until I find a small 1 bedroom or studio. Thx for the info I hope it's safe because I'm 66 years young 😲 planning on 6 months there 6 months 🇺🇸 until I can acquire residency.
I;ve heard mixed things about the wifi in San Cristobal de las Casas. Would you happen to know what internet provider you had at your Airbnb?
Not sure since it was included, it was great connection though - there’s a coworker space here where all the international remote workers go, we’ve met people working for major tech companies there, people working with livestream, etc. no worries at all.
When will you go to the Selva and Cañadas and visit the Mayas-- EZLN and Zapatistas?
We went to the Zapatista town of Oventik a few years ago! ruclips.net/video/Dog-i3g67s8/видео.html. -- headed to la selva and cascades this week or next
Hiya! Hey I (we!) are wondering if you are still there? We have been driving through Mx for 18 months and that city was our next stop. We took a 4 month detour from our plans to go house sit in Nicaragua and in that time it sounds like a turf war has exploded- what is your expereience there currently? If you are still there let us know how it is, thank you!
What a cool place! Wow the shot of the pigs head crazy!!! How perfect it is so close to downtown and you get the nice outside area!!! How long have you guys been there?
Thanks! We have traveled all over Mexico (15 states or so) and all over the world (around 70 countries) and this town stands above the rest of the places we've lived and traveled for a number of reasons.
Are you living there??
Great video 👏
: )Thank you for the video.
Beautiful place.
I have heard the coffee is amazing! there, is that true?
Thanks
Hey Tyler, the coffee is world class here! I've seen a statistic indicating that 60% of organic coffee in the U.S. comes from Chiapas. There is a 'Coffee Route' here that is stunning -- century old hacienda hotels and coffee plants with thousands of acres of beans and lush tropical foliage. Cheers!
@@UntetheredTogether
: )Thank you for getting back to me my Friend's 💕. I am in St Chris and would Love to meet with you at some point in time if possible.
I have a lot of information for you that is of great importance, things you need to know.
Do you know who Jeff Burke is by chance?
I pay 1450.00 a month in NY so I am seriously considering Southern California....thanks for that😎
This is in Mexico
you will be paying about the same if not more in San Diego .They are paying $400. per month in Mexico not San Diego.
Mi Encanta Su Video!!! Do you know of any lofts or apartments available. Munchas Gracias!!!
Gracias! There are many available lofts all around the historic downtown area -- your best bet is to check Airbnb or search "San Cristobal de las Casas expat forum" on Facebook -- people often post lofts and apartments there for better prices than Airbnb
How can I find place like yours? I am moving there in few months.
As a retired couple, healthcare will be important as we consider San Cristobal. Do u know anything about the hospital there ? Thx !
first!
it's so magical here, you can light cigarettes backwards
Are you still living in San Cris ?
We hope to retire there in 12-13 months !
Are you guys still at that airbnb, if not, could you give me a link or do you have a recoomendation of the neighborhood/similar airbnbs? My partner and I are coming there in May and are looking for a great apartment like your for long terms travel.
Same question 😅
Hi! We edited the description of the video to include the link. There are many amazing and affordable places in San Cris, and there are a few cowering spaces with excellent internet so don't worry too much about the strength of the connection in the room if you need fast internet for work -- 1st internet is good enough to stream videos and browse the web, but I definitely recommend hitting one of the co-working spaces if you need consistently fast internet.
Hi! The best way to find amazing apartments / accommodations in San Cris is definitely word of mouth and showing up in person -- it's a small town and there are lots of locals and expats who are highly sociable so plugging into the yoga groups, rock climbing classes, Viña de Bacco wine bar scene, etc. will provide you with insight that no online search ever will. I recommend booking a place for a week or 2 on Airbnb or a hotel then looking around at 'For Rent' signs in person. We are in a new place that is bigger, better, and cheaper than the one in this video and only found it by walking to the neighborhood and chatting with people in Spanish.
I would love to rent your place when it becomes available. Would you kindly provide the appropriate contact info? Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi !
I Am in San Diego I will be there in October can you recommend me a place not to expensive to stay for a week? 🙏 please Iam going with my 3 teenagers Nice video!!
I recommend joining 'San Cristobal de las Casas expats' on Facebook if you have one -- there are lots of posts about housing options that are cheaper than Airbnb -- the best part of Airbnb is that you have a little more insurance / stability if you don't have any connections in the area -- if there is an issue with the housing, you have some back up -- I recommend booking a place through Airbnb, many quality and well-located rooms and houses here for 4 people are around $30 a night. Thanks for watching ( :
I see most places do not have AC, how do you handle the heat coupled with the high humidity?
Actually, because of the elevation here, there really is no high heat or humidity! You'll learn quickly that it's more the cold that you need to worry about, but with an extra layer and/or a space heater, you'll be all set!
@@rebeccawalker5226 is it the same in April? How about July?
Looks awesome ! Is the city big enough so that you dont get bored ? Thx !
Literally never been bored here! The perfect sized “city”. A million things to do, great people, very communal feel - every day there are boxing classes, woodwork classes, music and dance lessons, rock climbing, beautiful parks, bbqs, sports bars, tons of night life, so much more
@@UntetheredTogether
Sounds great ! We are still 3 years from retiring. We feel like we are slowwwwly crawling to the finish line. Until then we will live vicariously through you. 😉
Interesting...can't give thumbs up because the time lapse shots and rapid cuts are too irritating.
Great video, what is the name of that bar? 😁
Thanks so much! The wine bar is called Viña de Bacco, it's a super well known spot and all the outdoor tables in front are filled every night -- great places to meet friends and watch the world go by. Cheers!
Hello! I’m thinking of moving to San cristobal! I have a few questions. Can I email you? I’m curious about how you feel about safety?
hi! sure, fire away. our email is the same name as our youtube @gmail
How do you feel about Safety in the Good ole US of A
Do you mind sharing that airbnb? I'm moving in soon and haven't found a place yet :(

I also recommend joining “San Cristobal de las Casas Expat Community” on Facebook and searching the group or posting there - good luck, let us know if we can help
@@UntetheredTogether Thank you so much!!!
Interested in living around your area, can you help me on finding a cute little place i am by myself only
The best way to find a place is to come stay in an Airbnb or hotel for a few days and walk around town looking for sings and talking to people - probably need to speak Spanish to get the best deals this way -- I also recommend joining 'San Cristobal de las Casas Expat Forum' on Facebook and searching / posting there. Good luck!
what are your top 5 restuarants in town?
Hi Karsten! That keeps changing, but right now:
1. Bangcook
2. Trattoria Catanzaro
3. Casa de Ahn
4. Mercado de Carne
5. Roots Panaderia Artesenal
And of course Viña de Bacco for meeting friends. Which ones are your favorites??
Thank you! My kids and I are coming from Utah and there is surprisingly very limited information that I can find online except for a few RUclips videos.
@@karstenreed2565 Agreed on the limited info available in English -- it's one reason we're making these videos. Please let us know if you have any other questions at all. Safe Travels!
Do you see many expat retirees down there?
More and more every day
you rent there? just wondering how you where able to buy property in mexico without being a mexican citizen? curious for a future ex pat?
Foreigners can legally own property in Mexico. If it’s coastal or close to an international border, it’s a little more complicated. Good luck and take care🤙🏽
Is this in chipas
Yes, about 1.5 hours away from Tuxtla Gutierrez (the state capital and main airport / transport hub)
Are they still wearing masks? I would like to move to an area without masks.
The police of the world
What fob you know about our Mexico profundo?
Nothing
Somos Nascir 5 minutos de las frontera de tijuana y tenemos muchos amigos buenos y su familias de todo mexico. Crucamos la frontera para 30 años y estamos apoyando migrantes de Guerrero, Oaxaca y Chiapas quien estan trabajando en los campos de baja california norte para mejorar sus vidas con aceso a servicios de salud, construimos casas para ellos, y mas. Imperialismo es una ideologia triste, pero tal vez ignorancia es mas peligroso.
Gringos
I wanted too see it, instead blah blah blah
You imperialist
she pronounces San Cristobal wrong, puts the accent on the wrong syllable ... gringa! go home
