산크리스토발데라스카사스의 시장

Local Markets

San Cristóbal de las Casas serves as the primary commercial hub for the indigenous Highlands of Chiapas. These markets range from the sprawling Mercado Jose Castillo Tielemans, known for its religious icons and fresh produce, to specialized cooperative spaces like Mercaltos. Visitors can find traditional textiles, locally grown coffee, and seasonal fruits. These sites offer a direct look at the region's economic life, where Tzotzil and Tzeltal vendors trade goods ranging from hand-carved amber to artisanal cheeses and traditional medicine.
