A colonial highland town cool enough to need a jacket at night, indigenous villages nearby with textile markets that have barely changed in generations, and a canyon boat trip past walls a thousand metres high.
The best time to visit San Cristobal de las Casas is Oct–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 36°C (97°F).
