My second time in Mexico, one year after Yucatan and Quintana Roo!

While I was there, I met two super nice guys who could not stop speaking about their weeks in Chiapas and Oaxaca. They were efficient, I booked my two-week trip not much later!

I landed in Tuxtla Gutierrez airport from Cancun (120€ for 2 and one baggage on hold with Vivaaerobus) and took a taxi to Chiapa de Corzo.
