We really enjoyed learning more about the Mayans and the Bloms. Really amazing work being carried out by this not for profit organisation today. A beautiful setting in the middle of the city, a must for anyone who has even the slightest interest in historical societies. A side note, though we did mot stay there, the accommodation also looks lovely... More

Read up on Franz and Trudy Blom, founders of the Nab Bolom before you arrive. A rich history of two exceptional people who made Mexico their home in the mid 1900's

Na Bolom is a must see in San Cristobal, for one, it is the oldest museum and presentation of heritage in the town. The property exudes decades of culture, archaeological exploration, and positive interchange with the Lacondon and highland Maya people.

Informative museum in a quiet and tranquil setting with beautiful gardens and excellent concerts in the chapel.

I found it interesting but no one in our group would have given in 5 stars. We had arranged to eat there - the food was good, but they completely forgot we were coming even after paying a deposit and calling the day before. Oddly no tour guide available even when we had asked for one and we were willing... More

We liked the setting, the restaurant, the garden and the interesting exhibits. The museum tells the story of an adventurous couples work with the Maya in the jungle in the 1950's.
