4 Best Shopping in Chiapas and Tabasco, Mexico

The government-run Casa de las Artesanías sells wooden toys, ceramics, embroidered blouses, bags, and handwoven textiles from throughout the state. You'll also find honey, marmalade, and locally made liqueurs.

Chocolatería Kakao Natura is stocked with fresh chocolates made from scratch on-site (from the grinding of the cacao itself!).

Librería Soluna has a good selection of guidebooks, as well as English language books on history and culture in and around Chiapas.

Among its excellent selection of wares, Sna Jolobil, the regional crafts cooperative of 800 weavers from 20 indigenous communities, has hand-dyed wool sweaters and tunics, embroidered pillow covers, and pre-Hispanic-design wall hangings. Quality is high and items are priced accordingly. The name means "Weaver's House" in the Tzotzil language. The cooperative is housed in the former Santo Domingo convent, adjacent to the church of the same name.
