Check out the itineraries of each tour below:
We'll depart from San Cristóbal de Las Casas towards Zinacantán, where we'll visit a local family to observe the traditional craft of waist loom weaving, a pre-Hispanic Mayan practice. There you'll enjoy a tasting of pox, the traditional local drink, and see how handmade tortillas are prepared.
Next, we'll head to San Juan Chamula, a Tsotsil-speaking Mayan village. Inside its church, you will witness unique rituals and ceremonies that combine Catholic beliefs and ancient indigenous traditions. Afterwards, we'll return to San Cristóbal de Las Casas.

We'll begin the tour at El Arcotete, an impressive natural rock formation with caves at the top of the arch. Its walls, up to 40 m (131 ft) high, display geological formations of stalactites and stalagmites.
We’ll then continue to the Rancho Nuevo Caves, exploring their interior passages up to approximately 700 m (2,297 ft). Optionally, you can enjoy additional activities such as horseback riding and zip lining (not included). We'll end the tour in the center of San Cristóbal.

This tour will take you to the Amatenango del Valle Community, famous for its traditional pottery.
You'll take part in a pottery workshop, where you'll learn about the entire process and be able to make a piece under the guidance of local artisans. Clay is shaped entirely by hand, without a potter’s wheel, and fired in open-air kilns. Afterwards, there will be time to eat in the nearby town of Teopisca before returning to San Cristóbal de las Casas.

We’ll start by visiting the Sumidero Canyon viewpoints, such as “Los Chiapas”, rising nearly 1,000 m (3,281 ft) high.

We’ll head to the Tenam Puente Archaeological Site, an ancient Mayan ceremonial center surrounded by hills, where you can explore its plazas, temples, and iconic ball courts.
Next, we'll travel to the Magical Town of Comitán de Domínguez. You'll have free time to enjoy Comitán cuisine, from the famous caldo de pan (bread soup) to tamales (dish of corn dough). The day concludes with a guided tour of the historic centre, visiting landmarks such as La Pila Central Park, known for its octagonal Mudejar-style fountain.
Departure time: 9 am.
We’ll depart towards the El Chiflón waterfalls, a chain of cascades formed by the San Vicente River. You'll walk along the trail to admire waterfalls such as El Suspiro, Ala de Ángel, Arco Iris, Quinceañera, and the spectacular Velo de Novia, standing 120 m (394 ft) high.
