***Throughout this entire trip, it is very important to keep in mind that you should only drive during the day!

Day 1

Of course, your entry point into the beautiful state of Chiapas depends on which direction you're coming from. This guide is designed for those arriving from the north. Each time I've traveled to Chiapas, I've entered from the state of Oaxaca. If you're coming from the south, I recommend following this itinerary in reverse and sticking to the main highways to ensure your safety throughout your journey.

It's no secret that the magic of Tuxtla Gutiérrez isn't found within the city itself. However, if you're arriving after a long day on the road, I recommend spending your first night here to rest and recharge.And rest up to prepare yourself for the exciting adventures that lie ahead, keeping you on the move throughout the journey.Please feel free to modify this guide at your disposal according to your preferences and time availability.
