Where You’ll Find Us
Co404 is tucked into a quieter corner of this pueblo mágico, which was built for walking — the Jose Tielemans central market is just five minutes away, and the Centro Histórico is an easy fifteen. San Cris is deep in the Chiapas highlands, and the incredible Sumidero Canyon and Chiflon Falls are short day trips away. For immersion into Tzotzil Maya culture, San Juan Chamula’s “chicken church” and the village of Zinacantán are only a 20 minute drive away.

Coworking & Coliving
Fast WiFi and a quiet call booth are the bare minimum. Remote work gets lonely fast. So for us, good coworking spaces are about who’s sitting next to you. People to focus with by day, and make plans with in the evenings. Hammock breaks and shared lunches, strongly encouraged.

Weekly Activities
Decision fatigue is one of the hardest parts about being a solo digital nomad. We know San Cris like the back of our hands and organise daily activities to show you the best of its culture, nature and history. All you have to do is show up and join us.
MEET THE MANAGER
Meet The Manager: Santiago
Santi, from Mexico, has been running things in San Cris for over four years, making him something of a local institution. Guests keep saying the same thing: he has a gift for finding the right volunteers, the ones who turn a stay into a family.
“As a digital nomad who spent an incredible 10 months and 10 days at Co404, I feel obliged to share my experience. The mix of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and stories around every corner made every day an adventure. Santi really makes an excellent job finding the best of the best — we shared meals, stories, and countless laughs.”
“I stayed here for a month, the best few weeks of my Mexican adventure. The garden is simply amazing. Lovely views on the terrace, a hammock, afternoon yoga, hummingbirds and butterflies. But the real magic is done by the manager, Santi, and the volunteers. I don’t think I ever cried when leaving a hostel. This time I did.”
“As a solo traveller and remote worker, Co404 San Cris has offered such a beautiful change of pace. You get access to all the amenities a remote worker is looking for, a beautiful garden and terrace, but also warmth and a feeling of community.”

How do I get to your place?
The easiest way to get to San Cristóbal de las Casas is to fly into Tuxtla, the nearest big city with an airport. From the airport you can either take a taxi for 800–900 MXN (and you’ll usually find some other travellers to split it with!). Or take an ADO/OCC shuttle bus for 250 MXN, then a taxi for 40 MXN from bus station.
Is there a laundry place nearby?
There is a lavandería around the corner that does same or next day pick-up, or they can even deliver your laundry back to Co404. It will cost you 10 pesos/kg to get your laundry washed, dried, pressed and delivered.
Where can I get groceries?
We are only 5 minutes away from the local fruits and veggies market of San Cristóbal de las Casas. If you don’t go there for your daily groceries, you at least have to visit once to experience the hustle and bustle of this colourful market. On Wednesdays and Saturdays there’s an organic market only a 10 min walk away for the best quality produce. Walmart, Chedraui or Bodega Aurrera are all a 10 minute (40 MXN) taxi ride away and Walmart also has an online delivery service that brings your groceries to our door for 40 MXN.
Is there an ATM close by?
There are a couple of banks around the central squares in San Cristóbal that are about a 10 minute walk from Co404. For the best ones that don’t charge big fees, use Santander and Banorte.
What is the weather like in San Cristóbal?
San Cristóbal has a very mild climate and is a nice break from the hot and humid tropical climate of most of Mexico because of its elevation. This town is located at 2000m above sea level which gives it nice daytime temperatures of around 20 degrees year round. At night it cools down even in summer and the temperature drops to around 10 degrees, ideal for a bonfire. June to November is considered the “rainy season” but it usually only rains for an hour or so and is actually incredibly relaxing.
