- Viajes al Tsokoy (Viaje al Corazón de Chiapas)
A full-day trip from San Cristóbal with stops in Ocosingo, Agua Azul and Misol-Ha waterfalls, and the Palenque Archaeological Zone.
Choose among Toniná, Tenam Puente and Palenque by route and available time, not only by archaeological interest. Tenam Puente fits a Comitán itinerary; Toniná uses the Highway 199 corridor toward Ocosingo; Palenque is the longest journey and should not be treated as a casual day trip.
Toniná: the highland option
Toniná is near Ocosingo, about 91 km from San Cristóbal. INAH currently lists the archaeological zone as open, and the site is known for its steep, terraced acropolis.
The main complication is the road: travel toward Ocosingo uses Federal Highway 199, where current UK travel advice warns against all but essential travel on part of the corridor. Check current conditions before planning the trip.
