Top Tuxtla Gutiérrez Day Trips

Chiapas is home to dramatic natural scenery, but it can be hard to escape the city and get off the tourist track without your own transportation. On this double-duty tour, take in both the multicolored lakes of Montebello—a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve—and the famous Bridal Veil (Velo de Novia) of El Chiflon waterfalls, with door-to-door transfers included for a seamless experience.

Enjoy this full day small group guided tour, where you’ll be collected from Tuxtla, then taken on a tour of the indigenous villages of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan. You’ll see several churches and learn about the culture of the area and the Mayan heritage of the people. You’ll also get to sample a traditional lunch of beans, tortillas, local drink, and coffee.

Experience the dramatic landscapes of Sumidero Canyon National Park on a full-day tour from Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Cruise through the canyon on a two-hour boat ride while searching for crocodiles, monkeys, and hidden caves, then visit the Pueblo Mágico of Chiapa de Corzo. Stop at panoramic viewpoints including La Ceiba, La Coyota, and Roblar before enjoying a traditional Mexican buffet lunch.

Take an unforgettable adventure through the La Venta River and behind the Aguacero Waterfall. Follow your experienced guide along the soft riverbed. Your endurance will be tested as you descend the seemingly endless steps (really, it’s less than 900) to the base of the falls. Go behind the cool water rushing past then hike through the warmth of the river current and revel in a memorable experience.

We introduce to you, two of the most representative Carnivals in the Zoque region of Chiapas. You choose one when you book. They are on different dates. 1. San Fernando - February 14th. Get your camera ready! 2. Coita - February 15th. The most colorful carnival in Chiapas! All the action takes place in the streets, and we'll mingle with the crowds. It's chaotic and intense. Not recommended for young children. We'll visit the Cohuinas (traditional houses) and witness ceremonies that make them unique. The experience is more than just visual: it becomes unforgettable thanks to my explanations of the roots of the customs and the legends you'll hear. This will give you a different perspective. It's not just a parade or a mask: there's a lot of history and faith behind it.

Visit one of Mexico's most enchanting Maya sites on a full-day tour from Tuxtla Gutierrez to Palenque, then continue to two gorgeous waterfalls in the Chiapas highlands, Misol-Ha and Agua Azul. You'll see mountain scenery, ancient pyramids, and turquoise pools, with 2.5 hours to explore Palenque alongside a local guide. Learn the stories behind the stones as you tour the UNESCO-listed archeological site, whose elegant architecture has a dramatic backdrop of steep jungle.

Experience the living sea and the dead sea of Chiapas in one tour. Enjoy and spend a pleasant tour on the beach where you can taste the local cuisine in front of the sunset and at the end of this day of walking we return to Tuxtla Gutierrez.
