For my last week in Mexico we went on a big road trip in Chiapas for more than a week. Starting in Tuxtla we explored a number of beautiful sights and things to do in Chiapas which can hardly be found in guides. Of course we also wanted to visit popular sights such as Palenque but we managed to make our way down along the border to Guatemala to see the beautiful jungle and the maya sights of Bonampak & Yaxchilan which are harder to access.
You can take this video as a guide but please be aware to take some precaution and do your own research about road conditions / road blocks etc. before you go. Please make sure to avoid driving at night and plan your travel schedule accordingly!
All Things to do in Chiapas, Mexico as shown in this episode:
- Cenote Chucumaltik, near Comitan
- El Chiflon waterfalls
- Lagunas de Montebello
- Causas Verdes Las Nubes
- Bonampak ruins
- Yaxchilan ruins
- Misol Ha waterfall
- Palenque ruins
- Agua Azul
- Ocosingo
- Tonina Maya ruins
- San Cristobal de las Casas
- Sumidero Canyon
- Tuxtla
- About the Taco Trip -
Together with my friends & fellow CZcamsrs Mike, Brendan & Jodie I travelled 3 weeks through Mexico in order to show you the best of Mexico City & Chiapas in this new series! I'm excited to share all our experiences in Mexico over the course of the next 4 weeks with you. Beside our "local" Mike also Brendan and Jodie are joining for this "Taco Trip" (due to the fact we ate so many delicious tacos during this trip).
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

Thanks for watching this video! Since a lot of you have asked why this series is called the "Taco Trip" let me explain: as we were traveling through Mexico we discovered so much delicious food in each region (we were in CDMX, Puebla, Oxaca and Chiapas). While every region has their very own signature dishes we could always have Tacos in each of them and we did...because we ate so many during this trip (perfect roadtrip food!) we simply decided to name our trip after it, it were also the Taquerias where we got to chat with locals and had so many friendly encounters.
Those of you who know my travel philosophy through my videos over the years will know that none of my content is meant to be racist - my aim is to showcase the diversity of the world and celebrate it.
What month of the year did you film this video in Chiapas?
@@ezequielalaniz That was December!

My mom grew up in Chiapas, it’s considered as Mexico’s #1 poorest city in poverty. She always said don’t let the title or city fool you. Because the nature itself is beautiful and the most beautiful place to visit if you’re into more of sightseeing and nature than the city. When she was younger she would always walk it from home to the lakes to wash laundry. Just seeing this video made me stunned and in love. That I’m willing to visit for my mom.
I showed her your video and it teared her up. Thank you for the love and hard work you out into these videos as it can be emotional for those who miss their hometown. Love the work and keep up ♥️
Norma Camarillo chiapas is Beautiful, I hope your mom and you can one day take a trip there. I was there last year with my mother. people are just so polite and respectful in this part of mexico.
Norma Camarillo En Realidad no es el mas pobre. Es una perspectiva equivocada de quienes lo visitan y luego se miden con los indigenas y en la comparacion los discriminan porque le quieren poner nivel de ciudad..
Yo naci ahi. y creci descalzo entre los indigenas tzeltales, chamulas y lacandones.
Mi papa Fue ingeniero y rrecorri y vivi. por todo chiapas.
Si la gente de la ciudad. Nos veia sin zapatos y llenos de lodo. Siempre nos veian pobres.
nuestra casa era de paja y las pareredes de lodo y carrizo.
No conoci. la TV y electricidad. hasta que yo tenia 13. Pero teniamos ganado y gallinas. que solo comiamos en fechas especiales.
Comiamos carne. 1 vez cada 10 dias. Pero mi mama y abuelitos Tenian mas de 500 animales. Pero mis familiares de la ciudad. Creian que eramos pobres.
En La selva. la naturaleza. Nos mide y nos hinca a su nivel de humildad. pero siempre nadamos en esas bellas cascadas. para quitarnos el lodo y tierra del dia.
solo caminabamos o volamos en avionetas. ya que ni los carros podian pasar en medio de la selva lodoza. los zapatos. los guardabamos en una bolsa (morra)y haciamos 2 horas para llegar a la escuela. Pero Eso es Chiapas. un salvaje inconprendido.
Todos quieren ponerle al jaguar. zapatos. saludos!
Norma Camarillo México is rich in natural resources and beautiful !
Former presidents Just care to steal money and betray the hard worker people. Thats why there are many poor people and some rich !
I born in Chiapas Mexico and grew up here in the States, DMV area 240...
I know all around Tuxtla Gtz, San Cristobal de las Casas, El Cañon del Sumidero, palenque ,
Its not a city is a State. And yes is the poorest but I richer than Guatemala
Mexico es espectacular de punta a punta y de lado a lado. Que gran pais.. ❤🇲🇽
🇧🇷👉🏾czcams.com/video/n4u0wlGg_eA/video.html
Creo que Chiapas Sea lo más hermoso estado de México! saludos desde Brasil.
💗
Hola como estas
@@briansibley1374 muy bien gracias saludos desde Brasil!
Todos los estados de México 🇲🇽 son bellísimos sólo debes conocerlos para creer lo qué te digo
No, Quintana Roo es el más lindo, después Chiapas.
This video helped me with my Mexico trip last year. Hands down the best holiday I've ever had. I recommend splitting the trip to be half an adventure like this in Chiapas and half relaxing in Cancun (with a visit to Chichen Itza).

Your work is outstanding! I am researching a trip to Chiapas in late March, early April. Thank you for all your hard work in videoing, editing, educational comments. Appreciate your clear pronunciation and concise comments which must have been challenging, given all that could be said. Well done!
the weather in Chiapas is very warm humid, in april we reach temperatures as high as 40°C (104°F) and everything is dry, i recommed you to come after the rains when the weather is more template and everything is green, between september and january.
Karen Custer Thurston que dijo señora?
@@belisariodominguez1857 dijo que aprecia la información y su trabajo. Vendrá a Chiapas en abril a visitar estos lugares
César Zenteno Gracias amigo por la traducción,por ser de Chiapas me da gusto que vengan a visitar y usted amigo de donde es
@@belisariodominguez1857 de Tuxtla Gutierrez
Hay más lugares en chiapas para visitar ,muchisimos...pero lleva mucho tiempo el poder conocer cada uno de ellos ...la gastronomía es muy buena y sus fiestas tradicionales son increibles ,las personas son muy muy amables... muy rico culturalmente, su historia y tambien sus áreas naturales ... muy hermoso no puedo olvidar todas las visitas que realicé al río la venta y sus cuevas con ríos subterráneos, es hermoso. Saludos y grandioso video

Nice Chiapas Mexico
Bienvenido a mi bello estado de Chiapas... Es una maravilla.. yo soy del sur de Chiapas de Tapachula... San Cristóbal es un pueblo hermoso.. Chiapas de corazón. Todo es bello sigan conociendo mi bello estado.. slaudos
czcams.com/video/SvOv5vxSqmA/video.html
Mi Chiapas 😍. Bienvenidos a la naturaleza, colores y tradiciones .
Me he quedado super impresionado con la bellesa de Chiapas. Quiero ir a Chiapas y a estos lugares en este video... pero me preocupa las noticias que veo sobre el crimen en Mexico. Que me puedes decir al respecto.?
@@ADamiani007 No te preocupes, en serio, es cierto que en todos lados hay cosas buenas y malas, pero te aseguro que la inseguridad no es un tema de suma preocupación, te lo digo yo que vivo en Tuxtla Gutiérrez, obviamente siempre toma precauciones 😉
@@ADamiani007 la unica forma en la que te podras quitar ese tabu sobre nuestro pais es visitandolo no te dejes llevar por todo lo malo que te llega por las noticias si fuera asi tampoco podrias ir a muchos paises por las balaceras en las escuelas o los ataques terroristas asi que date la oportunidad que aqui lo que menos se hace es dañar a los turistas ... saludos
Lindos lugares 👋
Visiten san fernando :')
Thank you for visit my state chiapas

@Denise how are you doing
Just wanted to say those videos are so well made. They are informative and quick. Mixed with some great shots nice work.
Thank you so much - after spending hours on the edit this means a lot to me!

Chiapas definitely is part of what I call the dream triangle of Mexico. Baja California Sur - Chiapas - Yucatan, they are absolute gems
WOW What a stunning views. I love the one from the top of the Toniná Mayan Pyramid, it's amazing.
That spot is truly a hidden gem. Thanks for tuning in!
@@BackPackerSteve yes it's very hidden spot, I'm Mexican, I have heard about Tonina, but I didn't know there is an arqueological zone, the view from top of pyramid ist so amazing. I want to visit those pyramids. Saludos from CdMx.
Gracias por mostrar a mi estado de Chiapas por todo el mundo,,excelente video,extraño estar en mi Chiapas querido,saludos.

How was it?
I have house in paenque, if you want tour and lodging here on my house with my family and your friends send me email: marcosmoraleshack@gmail.com would be wonderful! Welcome to palenque welcome to Chiapas!! Greetings from PALENQUE CHIAPAS!👏
You guys got the eating right! Food street vendors is the best way to explore the different foods of each region.
The best Chiapas guide video by a country mile.. thanks guys, helped me a lot before my trip there in a few days time!
Thank you lovely couple for showing us the beautiful places of Mexico lindo y querido,! Greeting from Houston TX!!
Soy chiapaneco y me da mucha tristeza y coraje que el gobierno este saqueando al estado por medio de conseciones que les ha dado a empresas extranjeras que se dedican a explotar los recursos y llevárselos a otros paises, sin que la población tenga un beneficio.
Que mala onda, lamentablemente así es el gobierno de corrupto,y yo te entiendo se lo que sientes, pero no te preocupes amigo algún día pagarán y darán cuentas de todo lo mal que han hecho, porque hay un Dios que todo lo ve y ninguno quedara ante sus ojos como inocente, dejaselo en las manos de Díos el tiene control de todas las cosas., busca al Señor Y el te dará fuerzas para seguir luchando, entregarle tu vida al Señor, porque el es el único que puede salvarte, nosotros sólo estamos aquí de paso, estamos en el mundo pero no somos del mundo, nosotros tenemos un hogar con Cristo en los cielos, pero mientras Dios nos permita estar aqui hechemosle ganas, y pedirle a Díos que tenga misericordia de todos y que quite toda maldad del corazón del hombre. Porque todo lo que creo Dios era bueno, pero la maldad de este mundo está acabando con todo,(el diablo). Díos te bendiga amigo y Dios bendiga a México y a Chiapas. Saludos.
Tengo confianza que con Amlo. Los Chiapanecos tendrán un mejor futuro, así como todo el Sureste
@@charoriveracharito3411 al contrario jaja, este viejillo inútil está construyendo un tren "maya" que destruirá el ecosistema, y hará que indígenas y animales tengan que moverse de sus locaciones, un tren para facilitar el turismo. 😒🙄
@@user-yb3sy8pn9m Supongo que no eres del sur y ni siquiera has viajado, como para tener esa opinión tan idiota.
@@user-yb3sy8pn9m su pongo que tu nunca as visitado chapias o yucatan? Creo que no sabes que antes ni sabiamos que era internet vivimos al dia dia sin apoyo gracias a dios y me dio la opurtunidad de crusar a EU . Yo apoyo la naturaleza pero tambien mi jente que vive muy differente que tu supongo.

I am speachless by Chiapas' beauty. I would like to visit... but with all the news we hear about crime in Mexico... should I be concerned about travelling to Chiapas? I really would like to visit. I am surrounded by cold weather, and skyscrapers in New York.
Very nice vid👍🥰😁 you guys rock!!! 😁
Very interesting and amazing. Congratulations. Your team for this trip are like brothers. Come to Veracruz.
good job, how fun! you have a good personality for the videos and camera.
Hi from Tanzania 🇹🇿.....ur videos r super stunning 😍
Amazing video guys! Planning nearly the same trip from Mexico City, Oaxaca, San Cristobal, all along the 307 through the jungle of Chiapas to Bonampak and Yaxchilan. After crossing Palenque we'll heading north east to Calakmul and Chetumal, right the east coast of Quintana Roo to Playa del Carmen. At least we're going to stay 5 days on Isla Holbox for relaxing and snorkeling with whale sharks
Chips so beautiful can't wait to go back
Hermoso video muchachos
