San Cristobal de las Casas

San Cristobal

We put down our backpack in the city of San Cristobal for a few days. San Cristobal is in the Chiapas, in the South of Mexico. Our first impression about the city wasn’t really good, as we spent 12 houres in a bus to get there.

If you ever come in San Cristobal, you won’t feel alone, as the town is crowed with tourist and expatriates who are neo-hippy bobo and roots at different levels.

The town in itself is very mixed, with rather expensives places and also shantytowns.
Thus we visited the Museum of Maya medicine. There we learned that maya women give birth on their knees (in some indian villages women still give birth in this way).

We can also tell you that it is impossible to find a guide about Central America in the all town !

  1. Les accouchements verticalisés témoignent généralement d’une non médicalisation de ce processus. Il faut rappeler qu’en France, la prise en charge par les médecins de l’accouchement -horizontalizé pour le bien-être du médecin-, s’est notamment accompagné par une augmentation importante de la mortalité des femmes en post-couches.

  2. Merci Babo pour ce témoignage…
