San Cristóbal de las Casas is a colonial Pueblo Mágico high in the mountains of Chiapas, at about 7,200 feet (2,200 m), surrounded by Maya villages — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.
👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the historic four-bedroom home with a rooftop terrace in Barrio de Guadalupe — check it out here.
The tricky part is choosing between a walkable home in the historic center and a quieter cabin in the hills, a short taxi ride away. That’s where I come in!
I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
