El Arcotete

Climb the 79 steps to appreciate the staggering views from this hilltop church. The church itself is a pretty example of colonial architecture.

Tour this remarkable museum and cultural center, which depicts the lifetime of study of the Lacandón indigenous people by Gertrude Duby and Frans Blom.

Be enchanted by this beautiful botanical garden, which rescues, protects and conserves orchids and other native plants of the Chiapas region.

This colorful tower and arch next to a traditional Mexican church are picturesque examples of colonial architecture and full of rich history.

With its spectacular ornamental church, two museums showing beautiful Mayan textiles and a bustling market, this spot in Chiapas is quite popular.

Rich with history, Mayan Textile Center is a cultural attraction worth visiting in San Cristóbal de las Casas. Wander around the gardens or experience the area's museums.
