Hotel Posada La Media Luna, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico

Wow! Long name. Go ahead and say it to yourself: Hotel Posada La Media Luna in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.

This hotel is well worth looking into. It's right by all the action--bars, clubs, coffee houses and restaurants.

Chiapas, Mexico has some of the most improved infrastructure in Mexico. Don't fool yourself into believing that this Southern state is riddled with drug violence.


Not only did I stay in the lovely colonial city of San Cristobal de Las Casas, I also took the bus to the ruins at Polenque, a windy trip through poor villages, thick forests and crystal clear air. Not one sign of any disruptions by the drug cartels.

The color and beauty of Mexico's interior should not be missed. The weather is almost perfect year-round and the tasty food is half the price of what it is in the United States.
