Free tour of San Cristóbal de las Casas
Hello, I am Ramón and I am passionate about sharing the history of Chiapas. For this reason I have created a team of guides that offers the free tour of San Cristóbal. We all have academic training, in alternative tourism, in addition, a "diploma for the training of general tourist guides", granted by the Federal Tourism Secretary, therefore, each one will carry a credential that allows them to develop the activity. The free tour is a different way to learn about the history of Chiapas and San Cristóbal de las Casas, so go ahead and reserve your place :)

After discovering other anecdotes about Chiapas and San Cristóbal, we will arrive at the Iglesia del Carmen, its famous arch , dating from the 17th century, is one of the architectural emblems of the municipality.
The next stop will take place in a shop-workshop where we will discover how Chiapas amber is worked.
Finally, we will conclude the guided tour by taking a walk through the most emblematic streets of the old town of San Cristóbal. Before saying goodbye, we will recommend the best places where you can taste a traditional liquor called pox on our own.
