Recenter Map To This Location

Plaza Principal: Your first sightseeing target in San Cristóbal De Las Casas should be the main square (zócola) which is located in the heart of the city. For later sightseeing, note that the streets all change names as they pass through the square. Sit on one of the benches in the plaza and watch the colorfully garbed people come and go. In the center of the plaza there is unusual two-story gazebo where you can get a snack. A main pedestrian-only street, filled with boutiques and restaurants, borders the west side of the square and stretches for several blocks north and south of the plaza. To the south of the square, the street is called Avenida Miguel Hidalgo, to the north, Avenida 20 de Noviembre.
