📷 Top Attractions
No.1
Na Bolom Cultural Centre
Na Bolom, in San Cristóbal de las Casas, was the home of anthropologist Frans Blom and photographer Gertrude Blom and today safeguards the material culture, archives and oral history of Chiapas Indigenous peoples — above all the Lacandon Maya. Part museum, part library and part guesthouse, it is a gateway to the highlands' diverse cultures.
Museum
No.2
Templo de Santo Domingo
The Templo de Santo Domingo is the richest Baroque church in San Cristóbal de las Casas, built by the Dominicans in the 17th century; its façade's dense stucco carving — flowers, angels and Indigenous motifs intertwined — is justly famous. The adjoining former monastery now houses a textile museum, a place to learn the highland Indigenous weaving tradition.
