San Cristobal de las Casas

We left Shala on the third to make our way to Mexico. We decided to go to San Cristobal de las Casas and then make our decision on where to go from there. After a grueling 8 hour van ride with one stop we made it to San Cristobal. I had heard San Cristobal was an artsy hippy kind of place. I really enjoyed the laid back nature of the town. We only spent one day there but I really enjoyed the vibe as I mentioned. I can see why the town received good reviews. We decided at dinner that rather than going to Oaxaca and working our way down the Pacific that we would go up to the Yucatan to see the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum. We would first head to the Island de Mujeres which translates to Island of Women and work our way down the Yucatan to Belize and to the coastal town of Livingston in Guatemala.
