A Trip Through San Cristobal In Mexico
Wandering through Chiapas
11 Mar 2013
Encircled by the mountains in the Central Highlands region rolling through southern Mexico in the state of Chiapas, The Third Eye spent some time in the town of San Cristobal de las Casas, visiting dear Mexican friends.
With great music scenes (particularly amazing and talented Mexican musicians playing Gypsy-Balkan while drinking a lot of mezcal) and a lot of street art, San Cristobal manifests Mexico’s curious contrast and fusion between indigenous and contemporary cultures, and subcultures. Surrounded by traditional Tzotzil and Tzeltal villages, San Cristobal has a large indigenous population, alongside of juggling Mexican street circus malabaristas, travellers and anarcho-punk communities. We stumbled across Casa Libertad, a house with a great sense of community for travellers from around Mexico and the world.
