WHAT YOU VISIT
Tapachula
Established as a city by the Aztecs in the 13th century and conquered by the Spanish 500 years later, the city of Tapachula flourished with the development of coffee and cacao in the 19th century. Once in downtown, you'll disembark at the Parque Miguel Hidalgo, a picturesque plaza lined with trees and monumental buildings such as City Hall where you'll learn the history of the city through the amazing images on its beautiful stained glasses and murals. Nearby you'll find the humble San Agustin church. Dating from the 18th century, the church honors San Augustine, the city's patron saint.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Photo ops abound in Tapachula. From the bell towers of San Agustin church to the colorful Chiapaneca folkloric dresses to the City Hall whose Art Deco design is one the area's most notable examples of 20th century architecture. And on clear days, you can see the towering 13, 450-foot-high cone of the Tacaná volcano

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
The Tapachula region lies in the Sierra Madre, in the southern part of the country. As you make your way from Puerto Chiapas, you'll travel past mango, lemon, orange, sesame seed, papaya, coconut, and palm tree farms.
