San Cristóbal de las Casas

The best time to visit San Cristóbal de las Casas is during the dry season, from November to April. The weather is generally sunny and pleasant, ideal for exploring the city and surrounding areas. However, the shoulder seasons (October and May) can also be a good option, offering fewer crowds and still favorable weather conditions.

Must-see attractions include the historic center with its colorful buildings and churches, the Na Bolom Cultural Center, the Amber Museum, and the local markets like Mercado de Artesanías. Day trips to the Sumidero Canyon and the indigenous villages of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán are also highly recommended.

Pack layers, as the weather can be cool, especially in the evenings. Bring comfortable walking shoes for navigating the cobblestone streets. Include a light jacket or sweater, a waterproof layer for potential rain, and clothing suitable for visiting religious sites. Consider bringing a hat and sunscreen for sun protection.
