San Cristóbal de las Casas

City located in Chiapas at 1600 meters of altitude, San Critóbal de las Casas is a city characterized by the omnipresence of Indians. Its charm lies in the simplicity and its tranquility which surround it. The center of interest of San Cristóbal is the market: it one of is coloured of all the country and a true meeting with the Indians of Chiapas selling their products of their culture. One distinguishes Chamulas with their long tunic from wool maintained with the size by a coloured belt and Zinacantán with their white trousers and tunics and their straw hats. Unfortunately, the amateurs of photographs will have to abstain from because the Indians don't like to be photographed.
