Tuxtla Gutiérrez, the dynamic capital of the state of Chiapas, presents itself as a modern metropolis and the economic and communications heart of the region. Originally founded by the Zoque people with the name Coyatoc, meaning "place of rabbits," its history dates back to pre-Hispanic times, later renamed Tochtlán by the Mexicas and finally San Marcos Tuxtla by Dominican friars in the 16th century. The current city, though with a contemporary appearance, preserves vestiges of its ancestral traditions.
While Tuxtla Gutiérrez is not a traditional tourist destination like other Chiapanecan cities, its role as a transportation hub is fundamental, connecting travelers with the diverse wonders of the state through its Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport and its busy bus terminal. Within the city, points of interest can be found such as St. Mark's Cathedral, with its apostle carillon, the lively Marimba Park, where traditional live music can be enjoyed, and the Miguel Álvarez del Toro Zoo (ZOOMAT), renowned for exclusively exhibiting endemic Chiapas fauna in naturalistic environments. Furthermore, Tuxtla is the indispensable gateway to explore the majestic Sumidero Canyon, whether from its viewpoints or on an exciting boat trip along the Grijalva River. Its climate is predominantly hot and humid, especially between May and September, which corresponds to the rainy season.
Planning your visit to Tuxtla Gutiérrez will allow you to enjoy a complete experience. Start by securing your flights to Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport (TGZ) and book your accommodation in advance, especially during high season. For transportation from the airport, you can take an official taxi or a shared shuttle service. Once in the city, explore the historic center, visiting St. Mark's Cathedral and the Government Palace. Dedicate an afternoon to Marimba Park to experience local culture. The Miguel Álvarez del Toro Zoo (ZOOMAT) is ideal for learning about Chiapanecan biodiversity. You can't leave without taking a tour to the Sumidero Canyon; look for options that include the boat trip on the Grijalva River and a visit to the magical town of Chiapa de Corzo. Purchase your tickets and tours in advance to ensure availability. Regarding gastronomy, try pozol (a drink made from corn and cacao), tascalate, Chiapanecan tamales, and regional coffee. For your shopping, the Casa de las Artesanías de Chiapas Institute offers authentic products. Consider the hot and humid climate when packing, bringing cool clothing, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent.
