The birthplace of Chiapas' independence, it is the heart of the tourist region of Los Llanos. Renowned for its traditional architecture of houses with thatched roofs and neoclassical touches.

Comitán, the city of Rosario Castellanos and Dr. Belisario Domínguez, was born as an Indian village established by the Dominicans and grew thanks to the haciendas and became one of the main cities of the colonial province. Within its regular layout with steep streets, its main square stands out, where the 16th century Santo Domingo church stands.

Along with the temples of San Caralampio, El Calvario, San José and San Sebastián, these are some of the elements of a rich monumental complex that also includes: the Belisario Domínguez House Museum, an example of the great mansions of the 19th century, the Junchavín City Theater and the cemetery with its old 19th century tombs. In Comitán you can follow the Route of Independence in the footsteps of Friar Matías de Córdova or the Route of the Museums: the aforementioned Belisario Domínguez House Museum, the Hermida Domínguez de Castellanos Museum of Modern Art, the House of Culture and the Comitán Archaeological Museum.
