Mexico's Churros and Chiapas trip

Begin your Mexico travel with an arrival at Mexico City International Airport, followed by a private transfer to your downtown hotel just steps from the Zócalo Square. Your journey starts with comfort and local insight as you settle into the historic heart of the city.

Spend the afternoon at your leisure, exploring nearby plazas, tasting authentic churros, and collaborating with your local host to shape the experiences that matter most to you.

Start your morning with breakfast at the hotel before taking a short domestic flight to Tuxtla Gutiérrez. From there, explore Sumidero Canyon on a guided boat ride through towering cliffs, shimmering waters, and the dramatic scenery of the national park, perfect for unforgettable photos.

Continue to Chiapa de Corzo to meet local artisans renowned for their lacquerware and vibrant festival masks, and enjoy lunch at one of the charming riverside restaurants.

In the afternoon, transfer to San Cristóbal de las Casas and check in to your downtown hotel, where an evening of tailor-made discoveries awaits.

After breakfast, explore colonial San Cristóbal de las Casas on a tailor-made city tour. Wander along cobblestone streets to the Santo Domingo Church, browse a vibrant local market, and meet artisan vendors whose handcrafts reflect deep Tzotzil traditions, an enriching highlight of any Mexico itinerary.

In the afternoon, visit Zinacantán to see vivid floral weaving and the brightly colored smocks worn by local women. Continue to nearby San Juan Chamula to observe Indigenous customs, traditional wool garments, and aspects of highland shepherd life that remain central to the community’s identity.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel, then head to Rancho Nuevo de Aceves and the dramatic El Chiflón Waterfalls near Comitán, where trails and viewpoints offer sweeping views of turquoise cascades and refreshing natural pools.

In the afternoon, explore Montebello Lakes National Park on the Guatemala border, home to fifty-nine jewel-toned lakes, dense forest, and the Maya ruins of Chinkultic.

End your day in Comitán with free time to wander the town, enjoy Mexico’s famous churros, and soak up the warm, local Chiapas culture.

Set off for the spectacular Agua Azul Falls in the Chiapas mountains between Palenque and Ocosingo. Swim in turquoise pools surrounded by lush jungle, explore the cascading tiers, and relax in peaceful natural spots.

In the afternoon, continue to Palenque, one of the most important Maya archaeological sites in Mexico. Wander through its compact ceremonial center, explore the multi-room palace, and admire the carved glyphs that helped researchers decode Maya writing. After your visit, transfer to your hotel in Palenque for a restful evening.

After breakfast, explore Bonampak, a jungle-shrouded archaeological site near the Guatemala border, renowned for its remarkably preserved Maya murals. Rediscovered in 1946 and spanning roughly two square kilometers, its vivid wall paintings and intimate architecture offer an authentic glimpse into daily life in the ancient world.

Next, travel by boat along the Usumacinta River to Yaxchilán, a larger riverside city accessible only by water and now alive with howler monkeys calling from the towering ruins. This unforgettable combination makes the region one of the best places to visit in Mexico for Maya history and adventure seekers.

Return to your hotel in the afternoon, with free time to wander the city center and sample local flavors.

After breakfast at your hotel, a private transfer will take you to either Palenque or Villahermosa Airport, scheduled to match your flight and personal preferences. Enjoy friendly assistance with your luggage and a final moment to take in the region’s atmosphere.

As you continue your journey, seamless connections keep your experience effortless and personalized. Carry with you the memories of jungle ruins, vibrant markets, and artisanal churros as your Mexico travel adventure moves forward.
