Chiapas is Mexico’s jungle book.

My Chiapas Travel Guide eBook contains everything you need to plan your own adventure in the state of Chiapas, without spending hours jumping between blogs, watching YouTube videos and scrolling Instagram, which generally only cover the popular spots of San Cristóbal and Palenque. This guide is for you if you want to explore Chiapas beyond just the highlights. To get deep into the jungle, spot wildlife, witness historic and living Mayan culture, wander amongst ancient cities overrun by vines and through modern-day villages bursting with colour and traditions - and spend less time researching!

Chiapas is the heart of the Mexican jungle. Hot, steamy and covered in a sea of green, wake to the roar of howler monkeys, dive into refreshing waterfalls and uncover the rich Mayan culture. Despite having some popular and deservedly well-known spots, there is still great opportunity to get off the beaten track in this southern state, and I suggest an alternative route between the state’s tourist gems.

This eBook is designed to be your go-to, quick reference guide in the planning stages, and once you arrive in Chiapas. Open the guide on your computer, tablet or phone, and have all of our tips right in front of you! You can be confident that you won't miss any of the highlights, will be eating the best tacos and hitting all of the top sights in the area - without hours of research required.

With 59 beautifully designed pages, this eBook covers five destinations across the state. You’ll know exactly where to go, what to do, where to stay, and where to eat to have the best trip possible in this beautiful part of Mexico.

This Chiapas Travel Guide has two parts, with an easy-to-navigate, clickable table of contents:

🗓️ Part 1: Planning Your Trip

Everything you need to work out before your trip:

Safety - understanding the security situation in Chiapas
When to visit - wet vs dry season
Getting there - airports, buses
Getting around - road trip vs bus and colectivos
Best route - why the obvious route is not the best one, our recommended Chiapas route and how many nights to spend

📍 Part 2: Destinations

Five destinations across the state.

Three full town chapters covering:

Quick logistics - how long to spend, closest airport and bus service
Top things to do - trails, waterfalls, tours, markets and ruins (with a detailed spread about visiting the Palenque Ruins)
Where to stay - from hostels to the nicest place in town, with links to book
My favourite places to eat - usually tacos (because tacos!), plus a cafe, bar and sweet treat pick (if the town is big enough to have it!)

Plus two bucket list stays:

Staying in a riverfront cabaña at Cascadas El Chiflon and being the last out at night and first into the falls in the morning
A community-run jungle eco-lodge deep in the Selva Lacandona

Each with a full details page covering how to get there, how long to stay, what to see, where to eat and what to bring.

🎒 BONUS: Mexico Travel Survival Guide

Included free with your purchase. 55 pages of the practical Mexico stuff that applies wherever you land: cash and ATMs, phones and SIM cards, tipping, staying safe, and the Spanish you'll actually use. Read it once before you leave and you'll arrive feeling far more confident.

FAQs

An eBook is a digital book that you can open on your laptop, phone or tablet. Our eBooks are PDF format.
On your phone and/or tablet you will need an app that can open and save PDF files. I recommend Books (Apple only), Google Drive or OneDrive. Once you have that installed, you can simply click the download link in your purchase email and select which app you'd like your phone/tablet to open the PDF file with.
Once you've installed your desired app to open the PDF file, you will find a setting to make the file 'available offline'. This means you can open the book without any internet connection. You will require a solid internet connection the first time you open and download the book (it's a big file!).
If you want to, but I don't recommend it. These files are LARGE with many hundreds of pages, and they are not designed to be printed, so you may find some content is chopped off the edge. I like paper too, but this is best saved for your digital devices - plus it won't take up any room in your luggage!
Yes! Your purchase includes any future updates I make to this eBook. I generally aim to update every 18 - 24 months. You'll get an email with the latest version of the book whenever an update is complete.
