In our restaurant Tarumba we present you a menu of origin where the experience begins by interacting with the environment, Tarumba tastes like comales made of clay, smiles that are born from the heart, at hands that from ancient tradition know the spiritual by bringing it to a table;Service hours: 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sombra del Agua is a 2-minute walk to La Paz Square and Central Park, in San Cristóbal de las Casas. This charming colonial city has beautiful cobbled streets and many historic buildings.
