San Juan Chamula Essentials

San Juan Chamula is the spiritual and cultural center of the Tzotzil Maya people in the Chiapas highlands. This list features the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, famous for its pine-needle floors and syncretic rituals involving candles and incense. Beyond the main square, explore the local market for traditional textiles and ritual supplies, and visit the nearby village of Zinacantán to see the flower-adorned Iglesia de San Lorenzo and experience the region's distinct indigenous heritage.
