San Juan Chamula & San Lorenzo Zinacantán Tour

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in San Cristobal de las Casas and head towards San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan. Along the way, we'll tell you some of the most interesting facts about this town.

Once we arrive at our first stop of the day, San Juan Chamula. We'll set off on a 30-minute walk through its picturesque streets as we come to the church of San Juan Bautista. This unique temple houses images of Catholic saints dressed according to the native traditions of the town.

Afterward, we'll head towards Zinacantan, and along the way, we'll tell you some fun facts about this town. Upon arrival at our destination, we'll begin to explore this small community where their indigenous roots are very present.

To learn more about its history and traditions, we'll visit a local family who will show us how their textiles, known for their unique beauty and color, are made.

Finally, we will take you back to the starting point, where we will arrive four and a half hours after the beginning of the activity.
