las Casas,
Chiapas, Mexico
is a hub for
travel to the
ruins and for
trips to
Guatemala.
Mayan people, residents of the area for two thousand years, still
live and farm the hills and speak their Tzotzil and Tzeltal
languages, a variant of Zoque and one of dozens of dialects of the
ancient languages.
San Cristobal de las Casas captured worldwide attention on 1994
when a revolutionary army called The Zapatista Army of National
Liberation captured the city and opposed the Mexican
Government. The two sides reached an uneasy truce by 1996 and
although the movement continues, the area is now relatively safe
for tourists.
Day Trips
Nearby Chamula and Zinacantan, indigenous villages of the
Tzotzil Mayan people, are popular day trips from San Cristobal
because of their colorful hand-made textiles and ancient customs
and festivals.
Mayan Ruins Trips
ADO Buses make the trip to Ocosingo for trips to the Mayan ruin
of Tonina, and to the city of Palenque for trips to Agua Azul and to
the ruins of Palenque, Bonampak, and The Frontera where boats
ferry visitors to the ruin of Yaxchilan.

Transportation to Other Mayan Ruin Sites from Palenque.
Two outfits run no frills collectivos from the city of Palenque to the Mayan
Site of Yaxchilan in the Frontera and to Mayan Bonampak: Chambalu
and Chamoan. A terminal is located near the Cabeza Maya sculpture,
just down the hill and to the right side of the road you can find their
terminal in Palenque.
Inquire at the Tourist Center ( Palenque Modelo de
informacion touristica) on Avenue Juarez at the Plaza of
Artisans in Palenque's town center.
Transportes Chamoan has an office nearby on Ave Miguel Hidalgo.
Most of the collectivos round the Cabeza Maya, a handy place to catch
a ride to the ruins. They also stop at the gas station just after the
monument Madre Chol on the road to Agua Azule.
(The road between San Cristobal and Palenque.)
Tour agencies located in the town of Palenque also run guided trips.
Immigration authorities are active on the road, that borders Guatemala,
best to have a passport and copy of your Mexican visa.
Bonampak Ruin Site, is an abandoned stone city built by the Mayans
between the 5th and 10th centuries AD near the Usamacinta River and
the border with Guatemala in Mexico's southern most State of Chiapas.
Bonampak was once an important Mayan political center allied with
nearby Yaxchilan. The Mayan inhabitants abandoned the city around
1000 AD.
From the city of Palenque, collectivos and tour buses make the two and
a half hour trip to Bonampak and Yaxchilan. Tours also leave
Palenque and follow a different road for the cascades of Agua Azule
and for San Cristobal de las Casas. On that road, half way between
Palenque and San Cristobal, the Mayan Ruin of Tonina can be
reached from the town of Ocosingo which also has an ADO
terminal.

The Spanish Conquistadors and
colonizers settled in the mountains in
1528 and started building the city, first
called Villareal de Chiapas de los
Espanoles. They defeated among
others, the indigenous Chiapencos, the
culture that gave the State of Chiapas
its name.
The city underwent many name
changes to finally, in 1848, become
San Cristobal de las Casas, a
combination of St Christopher and the
first bishop of Chiapas and champion
of indigenous rights, Bartolome de las
Casas. Two older names for the city
linger: Jovel and Hueyzacatlan.
