The Backpacker’s Guide to Chiapas & Guatemala
Arriving:
You’ll start your adventure by flying in to the Tuxla Gutierrez airport in Chiapas. From there, take a 1 hour bus to San Cristobal de las Casas to begin your journey!
San Cristobal de las Casas
I love this town! Tucked high in the mountains, this Spanish colonial town is incredibly charming. Cobblestone streets, colorful walls, and antique wooden doors define this quaint town. It’s at high enough altitude that the temperature is nice and cool (even cold), and thus you’ll often need a sweater or rain jacket.
The town is full of delicious diverse restaurants representing both local and foreign cuisines. There’s also almost endless numbers of hostels and hotels available, so there’s something for every preference and price point.
I would recommend spending at least 5 nights here to enjoy the town and all the day trip adventures you can take from here!
