Workation in San Cristóbal de las Casas: the essentials
Red tile roofs, cobblestones and wrought iron balconies fill a small valley at about 2,200 metres in the highlands of Chiapas. San Cristóbal, called Jovel in Tzotzil, was the state capital until 1892 and is still its cultural centre, with the craft market at Santo Domingo, the Casa Na Bolom museum and Tzotzil and Tzeltal communities in the villages around it. The town has a long-running crowd of NGO workers and travellers, good coffee from the surrounding hills and a few coworking spaces. Winter nights are cold, and fixed connections vary. Road blockades occur in the region, so leave slack for the drive to Tuxtla Gutiérrez airport, about 45 km away, and check current advice for Chiapas.
