Worth agreeing on before you meet

Indigenous Sovereignty

San Juan Chamula and other Tzotzil communities are self-governing under indigenous customary law. You are a guest on their terms. Obey all local rules, especially the absolute prohibition on photography inside the Chamula church and at ceremonies.

Ethical Tourism

Buy textiles directly from indigenous weavers, not middlemen. Choose community-run tours over commercial operators. Your spending has the most impact when it reaches indigenous families directly.

Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the San Cristóbal de las Casas travel guide.
