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

ONE WEEK IN CHIAPAS, MEXICO | Mayan Ruins, Canyons & UNREAL Waterfalls
Chiapas isn't just one of the coolest regions of Mexico, it's also one of the most amazing places I've travelled to date. The Chiapas region in Mexico is PACKED with things to see, including some of the best waterfalls, Maya ruins and seriously impressive natural landscapes.
In December 2017, I took a one week roadtrip with @brendanvanson @backpackersteve and @kickthegrind from Mexico City to Chiapas to explore some of the best things to do in Chiapas. We were all blown away by just how beautiful the Chiapas region of Mexico is and how much is has to offer for tourists.
The crazy thing is that there isn't much tourism in Chiapas. Mexico is a popular tourist destination for tourists from all over the world, but Chiapas is still a real hidden gem. We had nearly all the tourist sites we visited completely to ourselves - even the giant Mayan ruins and temples! I just can't believe there aren't more tourists in Chiapas.
I hope this video inspires you to consider Chiapas for your next vacation. And if you're thinking about heading to Mexico, I hope it will get you excited to visit Mexico too! You can see more great locations in Mexico in my Mexico City vlogs and Ouxaca food vlog:

this might be the cheapest city in mexico
With $10 in hand, we're attempting to see if San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas has the lowest prices in Mexico.
►Subscribe to our channel!
Today we are attempting to exchange the price of one US movie ticket for a full day's worth of food and drinks. We love doing this $10 challenge in new cities because it forces us to try new food, explore parts of the town we've never seen, and break out of our shell.
We were shocked by some of the prices in San Cristobal de las Casas. Beyond food, the cost of living in Chiapas seems...well, you'll have to watch today's Mexico travel vlog and find out!
RESTAURANTS WE RECOMMEND IN SAN CRISTOBAL
1. El Tostador - excellent, fresh coffee with incredible prices!
2. El Ciprés - Delicious breakfast (especially those garlic potatoes) with some the lowest prices in town.
3. La Viña de Bacco - we recommend it for the cheap drinks ONLY (not the food)
4. Pachamama - Tasty pizza and salads, plus some well-priced wine and drinks.
5. Kinoki - A cool restaurant with an upstairs balcony, perfect for people watching. The oven-baked potatoes and pasta is great!
6. Restaurante Plaza Real - Breakfast combos (80 pesos and up) that will leave you stuffed! The food is also amazing.
7. El Frayle - We haven't tried anything except the sopes, but those were the best I'd tried in all of Mexico!
8. Carajillo Cafe - Another great place to try Chiapas coffee, or beans from other regions of Mexico for that matter. Not only are the atmosphere and food excellent, you get the coffee made right at your table with an explanation of the process.
WHAT TO DO IN SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS
1. Walk around Mercado Santo Domingo where you'll find thousands of handmade treasures, unique to this city.
2. Visit Iglesia De Guadalupe and enjoy the picturesque view of the entire city—preferrably at another time of year so you avoid the rockets and other explosives.
3. Hang out in Plaza de Paz where you can buy local pastries from the area, soak in the view of Catedral de San Cristóbal, and people watch.
4. Try the local coffee. We recommend El Tostador especially, but you can find good local coffee almost anywhere.
5. Sample the food. Food in San Cristóbal de Las Casas is so flavorful, rich, and unique. Try as much of it as you can!
6. Enjoy everything there is to see, do, and taste while strolling on one of the many walking streets. You have everything from shops, vendors, restaurants, street music, and everything in between.
7. Get off the tourist path. We enjoyed doing what most tourists do in the city, but we strongly suggest you look into what this Pueblo Magico has to offer on the side streets, the nature, and those hidden gems you can only find from going out and exploring.

one of the most beautiful places in mexico
Las Grutas de Tolantongo may be Hidalgo's best secret - mountainside thermal water pools, caves, and a turquoise river!
►Subscribe to our channel!
It's our first time in the Mexican state of Hidalgo and we're driving deep into a canyon to experience the thermal water pools and mysterious Grutas de Tolantongo. We could not have been more excited to experience the magic of this canyon paradise in person and it did not disappoint. Despite the cold temperatures in Hidalgo at this time of year, we happily soaked in the therapeutic properties of the thermal waters in the mountain.
In this Mexico travel vlog, we also experience the turquoise-colored river of Tolantongo. We found out that it has this beautiful color because of the minerals in the water. On our last day in Grutas de Tolantongo, we made the grand finale a trip to the main gruta, or grotto in English. Again, Tolantongo did not disappoint us with this mysterious cave filled with the source of the warm thermal waters. It was the perfect experience for another cold morning in Hidalgo.
Also in this travel Mexico vlog, we include:
1. How much hotels cost at Grutas de Tolantongo
2. Entry fees and parking prices in Tolantongo
3. Tips for visiting Grutas de Tolantongo Hidalgo
4. Important information for traveling to Tolantongo
5. What we will do differently when we return to this canyon paradise.
This was one of those Mexico experience that really made us say, WOW, Mexico is amazing and it never ceases to amaze us. Does this Mexico travel vlog make you want to visit? If you get the chance, we highly recommend visiting Grutas de Tolantongo and we don't think you'll be sorry you did.
