Chiapas Travel Guides
These are the guides we wish existed when we started riding and guiding in Chiapas. They're for travellers who have already decided to come and now want to plan well — where the good roads go, what the checkpoints and topes are actually like, how much cash to carry for a rental deposit, and how to visit the highland Maya towns without getting it wrong.
Everything here is written from the road, updated as things change, and free. If you'd rather have us handle the logistics, that's what the [INTERNAL-LINK: tours → tours & expeditions hub] and [INTERNAL-LINK: rentals → motorcycle rental hub] are for.
