Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Commercial capital in Chiapas, Mexico
Located in southeastern Mexico at 522 meters elevation, Tuxtla Gutiérrez stretches along fertile valleys near the Grijalva River, surrounded by green mountains.
The settlement began as a Zoque indigenous area called Coyatoc until 1848, when it was renamed to honor former Chiapas governor Joaquín Miguel Gutiérrez.
The Regional Museum of Chiapas presents archaeological collections from indigenous groups, while the Marimba Garden Park offers traditional music performances each evening.
The Miguel Álvarez del Toro Zoo maintains extensive collections of regional wildlife species in natural settings across wooded hillside environments.
The city serves as the primary gateway to exploring Sumidero Canyon, where boat trips navigate through limestone walls rising more than 1000 meters above the water.
