The caves are quite cool but overall an underwhelming experience if you are used to nature. Should you have some time to kill, it is worth a visit but don’t break your back trying to get here. The individuals working there are not friendly, greeted us with their hand out, and tried to keep my partner’s change. Entrance fees are 10 for the park and 15 for the caves. There is a 5 peso charge for bathrooms. The zip lining did not look very exciting. I saw no horses. The water is very polluted. There were a handful of rainbow salamander creatures which were quite beautiful. They did have snacks and drinks for sale as well as a restaurant on site. On departure, they wouldn’t let us take a marked taxi and wanted us to get into one of their own unmarked vehicles. I didn’t get the best vibes overall. We ended up taking a collectivo back, which you catch just up the road.

It’s pretty cool, but not really a destination. The cave is kind of interesting so if you just wanna get outside of town and do a little nature walk, I’d say it’s OK. One tip would be to take the collective vote bus as a taxi this sort of a rip off it basically will drop you off right in front of the entrance and save you a bunch of money

So magical, I can't believe that I almost didn't come here! Definitely take the time to also explore the fantastical gruta and to appreciate the forest canopy from above at the mirador! Just 15 pesos straight from the downtown area to the entrance of the park every 8 minutes until 6 in the evening. When I was there it was 10 to visit the arc and 15 to go into the gruta. Well worth it!

magic place, nice walks, fresh air, local people take so nice care🙏

The level of enjoyment you get from this place will depend on your expectations. If you are expecting a well organized, entertaining activities and lots to do, you might be disappointed. It doesn't have a lot of information, it is run by local indigenous people in a very laid back, simple way, and although there are different things to do, it is not overly entertaining in itself. The entry is $10 pesos p/person. There are grounds you can walk or bike through. Fun place to take photos. The natural arc rock is free. The Zipline is $150 per person, and it includes two ziplines. Was safe enough. To enter the grotto is $15 pesos per person. This is kind of different and fun. But crowd control is not practiced: it can get a bit cramped in some of the small places. Also hard access for overweight or really tall people. There were also option of boat rides, rappelling, camping and tightrope. But we didn't participate in those. My teenage children moatly enjoyed because of the novelty of the grotto, riding their bikes and the ziplines, and they had their drone and camera to play around taking cool photos. It would've been nice to take a picnic, or to rent a palapa and have a BBQ on the grill, but we didn't plan accordingly. Overall, it is a lovely spot for a day out in nature. It was so clean and fresh, and plenty of families were out and about enjoying the sunshine. It has a restaurant and a comedor selling snacks, but we didn't try those out either. I gave it 5 start because it is really is a nice place to visit, I loved the grotto, and the excuse to hang out with my family. But I also understand that it is not a highly modernized and efficient tourist attraction.

Beautiful and unique spot. There's an entry fee of 10 pesos per person for the park and then a further 15 pesos if you want to go into the caves. Definitely worth the extra 15, atleast once. Stunning and strikes a nice balance in eco tourism. Well looked after, but still allowing us to go in and enjoy the place.

Amazing natural place that is so close from San Christobal, just take a local bus! The caves are incredible and so much better than ever expected! Also just perfect for a lovely walk in nature or a picknick

Architecture not outstanding but inside very interesting as this community retain rituals, combining traditional beliefs and Catholicism which is unique . No photos allowed inside the church. No photos of people within the village boundaries(unless at distance by general inclusion) Lots of candles lit in the church, floor strewn with pine fronds, beware floaty dresses/palazzo trousers ! Visited as part of a group tour. Specialist leatherwork on display in the shops.

I had a super great experience overall! The atmosphere was fantastic, and everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the entire visit even more enjoyable. However, one downside was that videos weren’t allowed inside, which was a bit disappointing because I wanted to capture some special moments to look back on. Despite that, the memorable experience more than made up for it, and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

i was here as a part of a day tour from san Christobal. Good experience as it show cases a culturally different community and still not touristy. it's a living community with a different culture but so close to the city of San Cristobal. the church is open to all and the rituals are wellcome for all to see. photography is not allowed inside the church though

Very Interesting! I have never seen anything like it! There was a large festival happening, so, markets, music and the church left such an impression, with the dark interior, smoke, incense, hay strewn everywhere, chicken sacrifices. This is definitely a must see!

When people say it is an unique experience, they meant it. This is the story of a people who fought for its right to freedom of belief and stood against the Spanish, the Mexican nationalist forces, the Catholic Church and the state - and won. Don't treat their customs like it's a freak show. Everything here has a deep meaning behind.

Very very interesting church and community. You can go here yourself or you can get a guided tour at 9:30am from San Christobel de Las Casas, that will also take you to Zinacatan and explain the customs and their differences. The tour I took leaves from the cross in the main square at San Christobel every morning and you can just show up. Cost was 250 pesos and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and his English very good. Many other tours have no guides or no English spoken. This was a great opportunity to learn about the Mayan culture as it still lives today.

Yes, it is authentic, but somehow also feels like just another charismatic town, and with not much to do there. We visited the church and then went for a healer (shaman) session. The church is interesting as combines many religiones and exhibits roots to very old beliefs. The healer thing was quite weird, as the guy could not really tell us what did he feel on us in terms of energy , or advice… he just gave the same comment to each of us, which made it feel as a bit of a scam. I’d definitely skip visiting chamula as Chiapas has plenty of other places worth spending more time on than this town.

Historically significant cathedral that has some great artwork depicting various saints, but otherwise very plain. Outside the church are numerous venders giving the location the feel of a festival during the weekends. While there is a road up to the cathedral, I found the lengthy switchback stairs in the front a great challenge and exhilarating exercise.

The main church on the Dan Cristobal. About 300 years old. Lots of shops and coffee places, shopping area around it. I did the walking tour from here.

Incredible piece of history. I had the bad fortune to visit this place after the devastating earthquake of 2017 and it was closed but the facade remains a powerful sight.

The diversity carruedvin business and culture..not forgetting the outdoors colors in houses and businesses

Amazing place with an inner magical energy.

Couldn’t go inside because it was under maintenance, but it looks beautiful from the outside.

It’s really a very cute small awesome town worth to go there try their cafés and vegan quesadillas

Great view over San Cristóbal - for the most part. Unfortunately, trees block the way in all directions except to the front where the stairs are. Hence, it is not really worth it to go up here for the sunset. Yet, the church is a beautiful landmark which is well worth a visit - during the day. Also, for the fitness enthusiasts, the stairs are a great place to go for a work out in the mornings. You’ll love the view even more after having finished all stairs ten or fifteen times in a row… ;)

Very nice hike, if you choose to go thru the Sierra instead from the city side. The place is peaceful and beautiful. Provides a complete view of San Cristobal from up there.

One of the most special places in San Cris. It's generally quiet, a wonderful place for meditation, yoga, exercise, sitting with friends.

Beautiful walk up, not a lot of view from above.

The kids counted 280 steps. Good! We did our math for the day. Haha, joking. Trees cover most of the view but it was still beautiful, quiet and sweet. You could also just drive up but if you can do the steps then just do it.

Great exercise because it is quite a climb! The view is pretty great once there. Walk around the back of the church to see the communal gardens from above.

Nice climb up to the church. Church is nice and you get a bit of a view. So nice street art of murals on the walls aswell

Nice church from the outside. Not always open and the way towards the church... mind your wallet, you will spent money on the souvenir market 🤣🤣 we went back twice and everytime my wallet was emptier than when I went

Interesting well decorated front wall. Entrance is on the side. Inside a big wooden wall with gold paint. Never seen these solutions before.

I love this architecture piece of jewel. 🌻✨

beatufiful and quiet church, is astonishing both outside and inside. not recommended for tourists as you could be interrupting the peace and quietness of the people inside

Don’t miss this church, museum and the market around!

Beautiful church but hard to appreciate at the moment. Closed off for renovations and you can't go inside (just like the cathedral). You can't even appreciate what's left to see from the outside, since the surrounding areas normally belonging to the church are now fully "squatted" by the "artisanal market".

This Church was restored and is one of the most beautiful on Chiapas. The monastery with its church was built in the 16th century, with the monastery secularized later. The church retains its original function. The building with two courtyards was restored between 1999 and 2002 to become a community and cultural center, with the Museo de la Laca, founded in 1952, moved inside to take up much of the upper floor. This museum contains about 450 pieces from various parts of Mexico and Asia, mostly made in the 20th century. The complex also contains halls with permanent and temporary exhibits along with an auditorium and various types of workshops. The former monastery complex was built along with the Santo Domingo church on a small hill overlooking the Grijalva River, in the second half of the 16th century, attributed to Pedro de Barrientos and Juan Alonso. The church portion is one of the best preserved from the 16th century in Chiapas. The former monastery is behind the large church with two main courtyards. It was secularized during the Reform War with the church retaining its original function. It underwent its most recent restoration between 1999 and 2002 in order to make it a community and cultural center for the city of Chiapa de Corzo, with the Museo de la Laca moving into it. It, along with other facilities and operations, is managed by the Consejo Estatal para la Cultura y la Artes of Chiapas (CONECULTA). The entire building is officially called the Casa Escuela de Tradiciones but it is most commonly called the Museo de la Laca, although this museum only takes up most of the upper floor.

This is my second time eating here and I’m truly blown away by how amazing the food is. Even just the roasted vegetables are the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I had the red curry and the Thai soup and both were top tier in flavour. Will be back.

My favorite restaurant in Mexico. I go to the place every time I visit San Cristobal. I've never had a dish I didn't like. Salmon is amazing, no fishy taste, crispy. The asian food there is spectacular. The SALADS are amazing too. The deserts are great. I don't know how the kitchen keeps up to all these variations they have on their menu and keep them tasty. Salute goes out to them! They could improve the pasta as the noodles are store bought, they could easily buy/make fresh pasta. The the wood chairs are extremely uncomfortable and almost like tourture, but worth it.

A real waste of a restaurant. Such a beautiful restaurant, amazing ambience with an appealing menu. With the good reviews I really expected something great, but sadly it all falls flat. The service is unprofessional, doesn't explain dishes properly and rude, poking us when they try to get our attention and serving out our dishes at different times. The burrito was hands down the worst I have ever had, it was soggy, had zero balance in flavour and just tasted bad, the fries on the other hand were amazing which was honestly the only plus of my meal. Overall I would avoid this place as there are many better restaurants in the area.

One of my favourites restaurants in San Cristobal, if you are looking for something different try this place you will absolutely love it! The service is great, the food is amazing and the vibe is very unique!

Absolutely amazing food. The gin and tonics are incredibly fresh and the noodle dishes were some of the best I’ve had. If your in San Cristobal, you must come here for lunch or dinner.

What to say about the best restaurant in San Cristóbal de las Casas. Fantastic atmosphere and a menu that could try everything. I recommend the arrachera steak and the local craft beers. Undoubtedly a gastronomic delight.

Excellent place. Run by all women who are lovely. The food is very variety and great. Lots of international modern dishes. One dish is enough person. The decor could be anywhere.

While the place is more upscale than others, it's well worth the hype. I enjoyed eating and working here. The food was delicious, servers were attentive and kind, and the patio outside was my favorite place to work on the computer and read. It's very busy though, so keep that in mind in case you need a quieter place. I would definitely return, it's a fave of mine 🙏🏼🥰

Great atmosphere, the decoration is beautiful. We fell in love with the interior decoration. The food was also really good, drinks super ok and overall a great place. I will definitely come back. Good taste, good service, good location and amazing decor.

The place is very nice it was a recommendation from a local I met eating at another place and it was a great choice the only thing to know they don’t serve lunch until after 1:30 I got there at 12 and had to come back but I ordered their especial which was a soup, chile en nogada that is one of my favorites and a guava drink all for $150 pesos, I was very satisfied and I recommend this place

Beautiful place, great breakfast! Nice ambiance with live music.

Very nice Cafe and restaurant! We came here for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. I had the breakfast nachos with steak which was the perfect way to start the day! Service was very friendly and quick. There is also live music often! The way the place was decorated together with the music created a great ambience. Can highly recommend checking them out!

One of the most aesthetic cafes I've ever visited. Fell in love with its botanical interiors and elegant vibe. Food and beverage are expensive for the taste but worth the money cuz the place is just perfect. 너무 예쁘고 분위기 좋아요!

I love the atmosphere there , it was a mixture of Mexican and Bonsais culture . The staff were very polite and respectful. We went to have a beer there and we enjoyed a lot 😍

I was here on a Monday evening. the atmosphere was great. there was a street artist playing song in front of the establishment. the place was busy and is a good place to people watch. you get free tapas with each drink. wine starts at 30 pesos. I tried a Mexican vine and it was decent. the service was prompt.

Unique and colourful bar! With quick service and great staff! Very lively in the later evening. Everyone that is sat is given a few tiny eats like popcorn and papas on bread. The alcohol is all reasonably priced so cheers! Only real negative thing to say is the guac tasted frozen/chemically was really hard to eat.

The place was awesome, great drinks and variety of dishes. Prices were decent and the service was great. Highly recommend

Very cool vibe, good wine at reasonable prices, and complementary tapas! We may have gone every afternoon for happy hour during a recent trip! 🍷

Nice place to relax and have a drink in the afternoon. Every drink comes with a free tapas. Right by the street musician and it's a pedestrian street, so no cars and no fumes. Great atmosphere.

I rated the food a 4 but it is good. I rarely give 5 stars for food that is not gourmet level. Just so you know that there is nothing wrong with the food. However, the big standout for us were the great service. Diana was very nice and attentive and always there when we needed her. The vibe of this place was excellent! It has communal tables which is a great way to meet other people, which appeared to us to be mostly locals. We speak Spanish but one of our table mates spoke very clear English to us, so I think non-Spanish speakers would have no problem here. It is a cozy place, filled with interesting, cool people, great music (classic rock when we were there) and just an all around place to have a good time. It was a packed so I assume it is a very popular place. We will definitely return.

Amazing place!! We ordered a bottle of wine and got small baguettes that were great Good price and great atmosphere

Lovely experience, the wait staff was incredibly warm, took their time to explain the origin and significance of the ingredients, and made our visit very special. They happened to be out of our first choice desert that night so we went with the nieve de calabaza and it was INCREDIBLE - just goes to show you can't really go wrong with their menu, there is something delicious for everyone here. One of my colleagues is a vegetarian and she really enjoyed the meal as well. Highly recommend while you're in San Cristobal

Really beautiful display with authentic ingredients and a rustic and contemporary combination that is appealing to the eyes and the taste buds.

Must go place in St. Cristóbal! Martha and her husband gave us great recommendations. They are passionate about food and they care about the qualities!! Every single dishes/drinks are highly unique but all inspired by local history and ingredients. We had breakfast here and came back for lunch on the same day. We have been in many Michelin restaurants in Aisia and Europe. This one is as good as those world class ones! And they won many national awards already!!

My best culinary experience in Mexico. A fine dining proposition, but without pretention, fully local and original. I had the mole and it was divine, different from the usual rustic mole served in Puebla. Eventually I found a very well cooked chicken in Mexico. The desert was very good too. Impressive! This place should be on the list of any food amateur, and is a real chance to experience fine dining at an affordable price! (for westerners unfortunately).

One of my favorite restaurants in San Cris. Impeccable service and food was creative and delicious. Was my first time to see mixed blue and yellow tortilla. They provided amuse bouche and also gave us shot of pox/posh for free. The pan de muerto was made to order so it was the best I ever had. We also worked here for a bit; wifi was decent when we went. Pleasant and elegant ambience; definitely must-try place while you’re here

This was my best meal in San Cristobal without a doubt. It was gourmet level food and used many of the local ingredients to accomplish this. From the beet and carrot chalupa, tortillas from 3 different grains, to the chicken mole with plantain and cheese to the chocolate tamal with fruit purée and flowers. It was excellent and the service was too. Although it was smaller portions I was not able to finish the chocolate tamal. It was really filling. I also had a Mexican wine. I could not believe the price was $25USD for total. This is a great value for the quality. I know that is expensive in comparison in this area but it is well worth the price.

Probably the best restaurant I have been to during my visit to Mexico. Great interpretation of the Mexican cuisine with modern touches that will make you feel a superb culinary experience. We ordered the seasonal menu, which is composed of: starters + two main dishes (to choose between 3 options) + dessert. Do not miss the 'Gordita de Chamorro', your would be avoiding the best dish on my opinion. Great service too. 5 stars to chef Marta Cepeda & team

The food was great however, I would like to leave constructive feedback. The servers were not knowledgeable about gluten free options. I think it would be great to educate them especially since the menu is marked. After being told by 2 different servers that the pad thai was not gluten free, the rice dishes either, and the fish sauce; my partner did not feel comfortable ordering anything.

Very, very friendly service, staff spoke good English. Decent Thai dishes, tempura was served with the wrong sauce but overall tasty. Satay sauce was watery. Cocktail was good! Pretty sterile big city ambiance but clean and tidy...

Wow. We loved this place. The food was delicious. They worked around my soy and mango allergies. We stayed here 10 nights and 8 here 3 x.

Pretty good Thai food for being so far from Asia. We had the spring rolls, Pad Thai, and Tom Kah Gai. Everything was tasty. We also had Jasmine tea which came in individual kettles and was delicious. It's located inside Esquina Agustin which has several other restaurants inside, all good.

Great food, good service, generous pours. Went here by myself for lunch/dinner and did not disappoint. Satay pork skewer entree was excellent, the pork had heaps of flavour and was beautifully tender. Also a large portion for an entree. Red curry was very nice and a good quantity of meat and vegetables but could have used a bit more spice in my opinion. After the entree and a coffee I only made it half way through the curry.

Very clean and presentable. Nice atmosphere. You can watch as they cook your food. Went there more than once over several years and the experience remains a good one. Large portion sizes. The prices are very accessible.

Backing up other reviews that the food is not authentic. I ordered yellow curry, it had weirdly thick texture, maybe due to starch? and it was sweet🙄. I definitely won't return. The chips starter was good though.
