Travel to San Cristobal de las Casas


JuteVilla
The express bus system for getting around Mexico is advanced. The buses are generally comfortable and clean and there are multiple lines to choose from in a user-friendly way with professional and helpful ticket clerks at most main stations. The roads to San Crist�bal are winding and can be dizzying so some choose the option to take a bus and let a professional driver do the work. You can see the beautiful greenery of Chiapas all around you on the trip through the big bus windows, or pull the curtain to nap.

As of spring of 2006, there is a "new" road to San Crist�bal and it takes about 35 minutes to get from Tuxtla Gutierrez to San Crist�bal and is not so vertiginous as the old road. There is also a new airport that is one hour 15 minutes from San Crist�bal and as of fall, 2007, the fare for a taxi is 600 pesos per taxi to San Crist�bal and 200 pesos to Tuxtla Gutierrez, or a shuttle service offering door-to-door service for 170 pesos to/from San Crist�bal. From Tuxtla one can take an "Omnibus" that leaves every 20 minutes to San Crist�bal for about 40 pesos. There are many other public transportation modes from Tuxtla to San Crist�bal: taxi colectivo, autobus, and collective suburbans. The taxi drivers all know where these are located
