'''Tuxtla Gutierrez''' (occasionally '''Tuxtla''') is the capital city of Chiapas.

Understand

Tuxtla Gutierrez is a fairly new city. It has the main airport for Chiapas (located 30km outside of the city). The city itself is not particularly interesting. Ideally, you will want to move off to one of the more historic cities as quickly as possible.

Get in

By plane
