One of the most beautiful towns in Mexico, San Cristobal de las Casas, was named for its mythical benefactor and saint, “San Cristobal”, and “Bartolome de las Casas”, a crusader in support of indigenous rights.
The city is a charming blend of colonial architecture and indigenous culture, surrounded by the mountains of Huitepec to the west and Tzontehuitz to the east.
It’s a pleasure to explore its stone pavement streets and its colorful markets, visit the indigenous villages or simply breathe its relaxed and peculiar air.

We recommend you to visit the following sights in Oaxaca:

	Zocalo: San Cristobal´s Zocalo has been the geographical and spiritual center of the town. The Palacio Municipal stands on the west side of the Plaza while the yellow San Cristobal´s Cathedral dominates the northern side of the plaza.

	Santo Domingo´s Church: It is the most beautiful church in San Cristobal; its baroque façade is of soft pink-colored stone, while the interior decoration is spectacular . The attached Dominican monastery houses a good museum with the region's best display of hand-woven textiles.

	Na-Bolom Museum: It is one of the San Cristobal´s most famous attractions; the ¨House of the Jaguar¨ is a private home that turns into a museum twice daily. The photographic archives in the museum contain a detailed visual history of 50 years of common life of Mayan communities.
