Tapachula, Administrative division in southern Chiapas, Mexico.
Tapachula stands at the intersection of Mexico and Guatemala, functioning as a major commercial center with extensive agricultural production of coffee and tropical fruits.
The area evolved from a 13th-century Aztec settlement to become the capital of the Soconusco region in 1794, replacing the city of Escuintla.
The city maintains a strong Chinese community that originated in 1900 when workers arrived to participate in the coffee industry development.
The municipal government manages public services through the H. Ayuntamiento Municipal, coordinating transportation networks that connect to Guatemala and other Mexican states.
The city's position near both Pacific coastal areas and mountain ranges creates diverse ecological zones, from rainforests to pine-oak woodlands.
