Get in
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 Cristobal are winding and can be dizzying so you may want to take the 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.

Very nice hotels such as Hotel Real del Valle on Guadalupe just off the main square may be had for 200P/20USD.
