One visit to this colorful San Cristobol art hub is not enough. There is a lot to see. I returned several times! And, it's an enjoyable place to visit. The store/gallery is often bustling with activity as local and regional Mexican artists hang their work, pick up commissions, or stop in for a chat. If you arrive during these times, chances are you'll be swept up in the conversation and invited to meet the artists. If you enjoy Mexican art, check out Arteria. There are items for sale at every price point. Don't miss las piedras in the back. This is a terrific store with a dedicated, English-speaking staff.

Enzue Open Art Studio is an exquisite gallery and workshop! During my stay in San Cristóbal I had the opportunity to take their 3 day linocut for beginners class. Husband and wife, Fernando and Enzue have a beautiful way of seeing the world that is woven into the way they teach their classes. This class taught me to enjoy the process of creating, rather than creating to achieve a final outcome. In the three day workshop you get to work outside in a beautiful courtyard, listen to great music, sip excellent tea/coffee and learn the steps of linocut to create your very own piece of art. This experience has definitely been one of the highlights of my trip! Laurelle

This 16th-century baroque church dominates one of the town's main plazas.

This is one of my favorite places to spend time. There are always interesting vendors to buy handmade arts and crafts from. The inside of the Templo is a quiet place to sit and rest in with time to think.

A spectacular view from the hill is your reward for reaching the church of San Cristobal.
Reviewed By connierideout16 - Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Sadly, due to Covid, much of the cathedral cannot be seen due to barriers and construction. The park in front of the church is also partially covered and not accessible. Will simply have to return. Huh of activity in the square with vendors and food carts.
