Tuxtla Gutiérrez, State capital in southeastern Mexico.
Tuxtla Gutiérrez spans across a valley at 530 meters elevation, surrounded by mountains and located 12 kilometers west of the Grijalva River.
The area, originally named Coyatoc by Zoque settlers, became Tuxtla Gutiérrez in 1848 in recognition of Joaquín Miguel Gutiérrez, a former governor.
The Regional Museum of Chiapas, established in 1939, presents archaeological collections and historical artifacts that document the region's indigenous heritage.
The Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport connects Tuxtla Gutiérrez with Mexico City, Cancún, and other major destinations throughout the country.
The city maintains a zoo dedicated to local wildlife conservation, housing regional species including jaguars, scarlet macaws, and spider monkeys.
