Description

On your visit to these two communities, you'll learn about their ancestral traditions and their deeply rooted religious beliefs.
We begin the sightseeing tour by traveling to the community of Zinacantán, which is located 10 kilometers from the city of San Cristóbal de las Casas. There you can appreciate the way of life and customs of its inhabitants. And you'll be able to see how they make their traditional costumes using the waist loom technique.

We'll continue the tour to the indigenous town of San Juan Chamula. We'll visit its church, where visitors are forbidden from taking photographs of the grounds, and its market, and we'll also see their clothing made from sheep's wool.
