San Cristobal




My trip followed in the city typical with its Spaniard architecture – San Cristobal de las Casas. Named by the Dominican monk Cristobal de las Casas who came to this region in th e16th centrury and defended the rights of local people against the Spaniard government. This area high in the mountains was continuously inhabited by Tzotzils and Tzeltat peoples, but was given the title of city in 1536. In my opinion, really tourist place, but in just an amazing location. The sunsets are incredible!
