The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas
A stronghold of Mayan culture, San Cristóbal’s colonial stucco walls and Spanish tile roofs contrast with the surrounding villages, which remain home to an array of Mayan-descendant Indians. The city itself is a delight. Paired with the cultural diversity surrounding it, there’s nothing like it in Mexico.

The Lacandon Jungle is one of the best destinations for nature tourism in Mexico and if you want to enjoy the adventure during your holiday in Chiapas, the rafting on the river Lacanja activity is indicated for the practice among magnificent scenery.

I spent a day at the Rancho Evergreen and it was exactly what I've been looking for: nice people who care about their animals, about nature, about your wellbeing... and the food is delicious! :) It's definitely not one of those "hop-on-hop-off" horse ride experiences. You meet "your" horse, spend time with it and the ride is adapted to your riding skills. I definitely recommend staying at this place if you want to spend a day with horses or just in the nature to disconnect a little. Can be easily reached by public transport and taxi.

Had the honour of attending both story time and the cooking class here. Story time with Ivan (run by donation only, we donated 100 pesos per person as it lasted nearly three amazing hours) was an incredible experience- a chance to chat one on one (well there was four of us in the group) with a Mexican which spoke honestly and candidly about the traditions, rituals, trials and tribulations of the Mexican people and indiginous communities. The cooking class with Laura carried on in a similar vein, with education more focused on the food traditions, cooking techniques and stories from history. We made sweet and savory tamales, a Mexican salsa/ sauce to accompany and a hot fruit punch. We were also given a glass of POX to toast our meal with. This was around three and a half hours and is billed at 200 pesos per person but we tipped an additional 50 as its such an amazing personal experience. All the money raised from both story time and the cooking classes goes to the projects Steps helps run within the indiginous communities, so it felt good to put your money there. If going, I'd recommend you chdck out the church of Chemal first- alot of the stories are based on this experience. Absolutely amazing- the reason you go travelling is for experiences like Steps provided.

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