Get around San Cristobal de las Casas
San Cristobal de las Casas is a beautiful city. If you are reasonably mobile you should be able to walk anywhere within the city without strain. Rent-a-Bikes are also a good way to get around if you have a very "adventurous" side!
If you rather make your own plans and travel a bit off the beaten track, rent a car with driver. . Or, alternatively, if you are comfortable with a) your Spanish, and b) travelling in a tightly packed van or truck, hop in a colectivo--essentially an informal taxi. You can spot these travelling in and out of the city quite frequently, and cost a fraction of a car rental with driver.
Taxis - Taxis are all over the place (a little too many of them, honestly) and easy to flag down. Taxis cost between 18-20 pesos and go up about 4 pesos in price after 10PM. A good option if you are in a hurry or just tired from walking around all day. Ask the price before getting in to make sure that you get the going rate.
Rates for going to the airport from San Cristóbal to Ángel Albino Corzo is around 350 - 400 pesos and will pick you up at your place of stay as early as needed.
Taxis are also available for hire, depending on where you want to go and for how long. Prices should be negoitable. This may be a good option if you want to do a trip on your own to El Arcotete or Rancho Nuevo, even to San Juan Chamula.
Colectivos - The main form of public transportation for locals come in the form of a van or small bus. The cost is 4.50 pesos. Be prepared for a cramped ride and frequent stops but hey, that´s just part of the fun.
prices for public transportation in the form of Taxis or Colectivos are subject to change on a yearly basis.
