Tuxtla Gutiérrez

Tuxtla Gutiérrez travel guide

Mexico · Top sights · trending spots

Tuxtla is the entrance to Chiapas, the most indigenous state in Mexico. The Sumidero canyon starts a few kilometres away, its walls rising a thousand metres above the boats that run up the river.

San Cristóbal de las Casas, an hour and a half into the highlands, is a colonial town at two thousand metres where Tzotzil and Tzeltal are spoken in the market. Palenque, the Maya city in the jungle, is further east.
