Means of transport Chiapas

The airport is 35 minutes from Tuxtla and 1h15 from San Cristóbal de Las Casas. After collecting your luggage, head for the exit where you'll find cabs and colectivos. The journey to the center of Tuxtla takes about 40 min and costs around $50 by colectivo or $250 by cab. To get to San Cristóbal, a cab costs around $1,000, while a colectivo costs around $240 per person. It's best to withdraw cash before you leave.

Very practical, this company allows to connect Tapachula to all the capitals of Central America, namely Guatemala (Guatemala, San Salvador (El Salvador), Tegucigalpa (Honduras), Managua (Nicaragua), San José (Costa Rica), Panama (Panama). Note that the tourist city of Antigua in Guatemala is also sometimes served. The bus does not run at night and offers to include accommodation in your ticket. You can buy your tickets directly on the website, where you can check the days and times of departure.

These combis allow to circulate all around the Reserva de la Biósfera Montes Azules to reach Palenque by taking the carretera Fronteriza which skirts Guatemala, stopping en route to visit the Lagos de Montebello (1h30, $100), the waterfalls of Las Nubes, Las Guacamayas (direction Zamora Pico de Oro, 5-6h, $190) and Lacanja (Selva lacandona, 7h, $285). A nice alternative route in perspective. Departures start around 2:30 am.

These combis, true miracles of nature, allow you to reach Los Lagos de Montebello and Comitán without having to go back through Los Altos: they take the carretera fronteriza that runs along Guatemala, constantly licking the Reserva de la Biósfera Montes Azules. The interest is to be able to stop in Lacanja or to go to Benemérito Las Américas from where you can transfer to Las Guacamayas. From there you can continue to Los Lagos de Montebello.

All national destinations from a major Mexican bus station, not to mention regional destinations: San Cristobal, Palenque, Comitán, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc (border with Guatemala), Tonalá, Tapachula. To save time, consider booking your tickets in advance on the company's website. If you can't, you can always do it at the ticket office in the station hall (which is what many locals do).
