Inside Mexico’s Cheapest Town!🇲🇽 (San Cristobal)

  • Chiapas has been named as the poorest state in Mexico because the majority of its residents live in poverty! These are very sad news and I really wish things could be better in the future.
    However, due to this unfortunate fact, Chiapas and its beautiful capital,San Cristobal, is probably the cheapest and the most affordable place for backpackers like me and probably you.
    When we visit such a place, firstly we might think that we are saving money but the same time we are supporting the local economy which is at least something positive overall!
    And its also our duty (If we can) to give some tips here and there!
    Today I am exploring San Cristóbal and its local Central Market! I’m super curious to meet the people here and see If the prices of usual things like tacos, tortas and haircuts are really that cheaper than the rest of Mexico!
    Legoooo!!!

    Fun Fact: This “Delicious” 3 pesos Taco 🌮 That I ate with such a pleasure…. Caused me food poisoning and I was so f@cked the next 4-5 days that I couldn’t even film a bit of my suffering moments so we could can have now some funny and memorable footage😅!

    Some media and people talk about not many good things about Mexico.
    It's totally different from what I see in your videos.
    People are so friendly and so attentive.
    Lovely people selling fresh and delicious food for an extremely cheap price.
    Mexico is now a must-visit country on my travel list. That's for sure.
    And I will be learning Spanish soon.
    Thanks for sharing, Timmy. 👍

      I was there 2 months ago and it's super chill. Of course kind of touristic in some places which annoyed me because that attracts a lot of people who also want to profit of that with the expensive prices but it's only a really small % of the Mexican people. Most of them were really hardworking and it didn't matter where you were from everybody enjoyed their time and treated me as I was Mexican although my Spanish is not even that good :) I can recommend you going but don't do the Cancun - Tulum route.. go to mexico city and work your way down

    That big heavy tank like vehicle is the cash money handler which is Loomis with a pyramid up in the USA. Mexico is the walking street version of America. We don't really have walking street markets and small business economics up in the USA, but just corporate globalized debt based economic system with a few at the top just raking in profits which is the way of the world and why many countries are so poor. And why we're getting poorer too.
