Airport Transportation in Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
From TGZ, airport transportation in Tuxtla Gutiérrez covers the city's hotels and business districts, the colonial town of Chiapa de Corzo and the Sumidero Canyon boat landings, and the climb into the highlands to San Cristóbal de las Casas, with longer rides to Comitán and the Montebello Lakes.
Tuxtla Gutiérrez Airport Transfers
Tuxtla Gutiérrez airport transfers start in the arrivals hall on the terminal's lower level: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and we track your flight so a delay doesn't cost you the pickup. The price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from sedans for couples to vans for families and groups.
Each Tuxtla Gutiérrez airport transfer goes door to door, to hotels in Tuxtla, boutique stays in Chiapa de Corzo or guesthouses in the historic center of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
Tuxtla Gutiérrez Airport Shuttle
Our Tuxtla Gutiérrez airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you're through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There's room for backpacks and luggage, which suits families and groups making the mountain drive up to San Cristóbal de las Casas together.
Landing at Tuxtla Gutiérrez Airport
Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport (TGZ), known as Tuxtla Gutiérrez International Airport, sits in the municipality of Chiapa de Corzo, about 35 km from Tuxtla Gutiérrez. All flights use one two-storey terminal: you leave the aircraft by jet bridge on the upper floor and go down to arrivals, baggage claim, immigration and customs on the lower level.
The terminal has ATMs, Wi-Fi, a café and shops. San Cristóbal de las Casas lies farther away, up in the Chiapas highlands, where evenings are noticeably cooler than in Tuxtla.
Chiapas runs on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year.
Highland stays
San Cristóbal de las Casas sits in the mountains, and many guesthouses are on narrow cobbled streets in the historic center. Give the exact address and cross streets so the driver can get as close as possible.
Pack a layer
San Cristóbal is much cooler than Tuxtla, especially at night; keep a jacket in your hand luggage.
Sumidero Canyon trips
If you're heading straight to a boat tour in Chiapa de Corzo, give the dock or meeting point and your tour time when you book.
Entry
International visitors need a valid passport. Carry some pesos for tips and small purchases.

In the arrivals hall on the terminal's lower level, or just outside the doors, after baggage claim. Your confirmation names the exact meeting point.
Which airport do I fly into for San Cristóbal de las Casas?
Tuxtla Gutiérrez International Airport (TGZ). From there, transfers continue by road up into the Chiapas highlands to San Cristóbal de las Casas.
How far is Tuxtla Gutiérrez Airport from the city?
About 35 km. The airport is in the municipality of Chiapa de Corzo, so the colonial town and the Sumidero Canyon docks are closer to the airport than Tuxtla itself.
Can you take me to Chiapa de Corzo or the Sumidero Canyon?
Yes. Enter your hotel or the boat dock as the destination to see the vehicles and fixed price before you pay.
Can you take me to Comitán or the Montebello Lakes?
Yes. Longer trips across central Chiapas can be booked; enter the full address to see the vehicles and fixed price available for that route.

Can I book transportation to a guesthouse or Airbnb in San Cristóbal?
Yes. Enter the full address with cross streets; many guesthouses are on narrow or pedestrian streets, so the driver will get as close as possible.
Is transportation available for late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. Transportation can be scheduled for late arrivals and early departures. Availability is confirmed through the booking system, so book ahead and give your exact flight time.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay doesn't cancel your pickup. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or the flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking as soon as you know.

Yes. Add the return trip when you book, or book it later. From San Cristóbal, allow for the mountain drive as well as check-in time.
