Things to do in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas: The Best Art Galleries
A stronghold of Mayan culture, San Cristóbal’s colonial stucco walls and Spanish tile roofs contrast with the surrounding villages, which remain home to an array of Mayan-descendant Indians. The city itself is a delight. Paired with the cultural diversity surrounding it, there’s nothing like it in Mexico.

One visit to this colorful San Cristobol art hub is not enough. There is a lot to see. I returned several times! And, it's an enjoyable place to visit. The store/gallery is often bustling with activity as local and regional Mexican artists hang their work, pick up commissions, or stop in for a chat. If you arrive during these times, chances are you'll be swept up in the conversation and invited to meet the artists. If you enjoy Mexican art, check out Arteria. There are items for sale at every price point. Don't miss las piedras in the back. This is a terrific store with a dedicated, English-speaking staff.

Enzue Open Art Studio is an exquisite gallery and workshop! During my stay in San Cristóbal I had the opportunity to take their 3 day linocut for beginners class. Husband and wife, Fernando and Enzue have a beautiful way of seeing the world that is woven into the way they teach their classes. This class taught me to enjoy the process of creating, rather than creating to achieve a final outcome. In the three day workshop you get to work outside in a beautiful courtyard, listen to great music, sip excellent tea/coffee and learn the steps of linocut to create your very own piece of art. This experience has definitely been one of the highlights of my trip! Laurelle
