Chiapas is a hidden wonder of the world.

[@gsimons213]

I visited Chiapas in the 1980s and I can attest that I found it magical, too. One of the most memorable places in Mexico for me.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Agree

[@janetseager4069]

I visited chiapas in October 1993. Needless to say my year in Mexico was incredibly interesting. I arrived in Mexico from New Zealand knowing nothing and left with a 30+ year passion for the country. I've been back several times, but not back to Chiapas. Now I'm planning to spend some if my old age there, and your videos on San Cris and the state have pretty much convinced me it's the place I want to be. Many, many thanks, Janet

[@martbright]

I love Chiapas! Been there twice and would love to return to see Palenque. We visited a ranch about a 45 minute drive from San Cristobal and rode horses in the country. It was a beautifu; experience.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

How nice!

[@dgaydos]

Saludos desde Ithaca, NY, EEUU! Chiapas is probably my favorite state of Mexico....along with Oaxaca and Yucatán. I'm glad you mentioned that you just touched the surface regarding the richness of Chiapas. It would be impossible to do the state justice in just a half hour. Not in the video but certainly worth visiting: Palenque, San Cristóbal(been there 5 or 6 times), Comitán(a great base for visiting El Chiflón, Lagos de Montebello and the Maya site Tenam Puente), Toniná, Cascadas Roberto Barrios and Agua Azul. Don't miss the coffee either!!!! Me encanta Chiapas y por supuesto vuelvo a visitarlo otra vez!

[@rolyrodriguez1000]

Keep doing this important work. As time goes by this Chanel will grow. There are many Americans that can't live in the U.S. on their social security and are looking for other options. My wife is from San Luis Potosí and we have traveled all over Mexico. I have been saying to everyone for over 30 yrs how great Mexico is. Now is when it's starting to catch on. Personally I want to spend two years going from Airbnb to Airbnb and tour all of Mexico when I retire.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Gracias! I do this kind of work for people like you! I hope we can help you one day to make your move to Mexico :) Saludos!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Thanks for suggestion. Will keep it in mind. I do have a blog post about it mexicorelocationguide.com/assisted-living-facilities-in-mexico/

Do we like Chiapas? Have visited three times [last time was October/November '23] and within two days of our return to Canada we were planning to go back...🤩

[@warista22]

Hello.. IM from Indonesia. I have a friends in Chiapas. And i was curious about the place he mentioned. Thanks for video. Amazing.

[@GringoPicante]

wow this video is mind blowing. As I study spanish and do other things to prepare to immigrate to Mexico some day, it's so hard to make up my mind where to move to when I'm ready. So many beautiful places in Mexico to live.

[@frankoskovia]

Hello maker of the video - it's a good one and very special that you do one for relocation. Are many people moving to Chiapas from abroad? My girl and me are intending to visit chiapas at the beginning of Febuary. Looking forward to that! Cheers

[@lindylee1139]

Really good video, i lived in Jalisco but did not know most of this. This type of videos are awso.e because they give expats options to visit once they have explored their town.

Hi Mariana! My wife and I are considering taking a year off away from home and family to travel Mexico. My family moved to the USA when I was 5 and my wife when she was 17. We were both born in Mexico so you can say we have dual citizenship? Most of your videos talk about how to get temporary or permanent residency. What about dual citizenship? Where do we begin to explore the required documentation for this? All we have right now is our respective birth certificates from Mexico.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

If you have a Mexican birth certificate you are a Mexican citizen. All you have to do is go to your nearest consulate with your original birth certificate from mexico and get a Mexican passport. You can be a dual citizen without a problem

Hi are there any places in Mexico city towns that have newer or updated plumbing or electric in your Video mexico is not for everyone you mentioned plumbing toilet issues

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

All cities and towns have modern homes and newer buildings with updated plumbing. However, in every city and town there are also old buildings with older plumbing

[@Carlosmanmanman]

For the permanent resident income amount. Is that per person or per family?

[@JS-jh4cy]

My issue right now is understanding how to have my own vehicle in Mexico to drive around the country, it is huge and I can't really expect to find a taxi everywhere in the rural areas only in huge cities and don't want to rent a car every day for months

[@JS-jh4cy]

Can I buy my own car in Mexico to keep in storage until I move there or easier way to import from Canada or USA a used car to mainland Mexico, I been so confused and frustrated with figuring out the process to have car long term in Mexico

[@JS-jh4cy]

Yes in Baja it is simpler but I want to see the rest of Mexico to explore and travel by car

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Many people in Mexico don't have a car. They travel on foot, public transport, uber, and long distance buses.

I want to visit Chiapas summer. I’m originally from Oaxaca and I visited last summer. Just sad how much gentrification is going on 👎🏽

[@Glen-uy4jt]

How is it possible to spin Tuxtla into a nice city? I have lived here for 20 years and it is a smelly and poorly maintained capital of Mexico. Yes Chiapas has many gems of nature but trying to get around can be challenging. Many sellers of crafts are just merchants who buy cheap from the artisans or they take it on consignment. I live in Copoya. You did not mention the tallest monument to Jesus Christ, locate on a bluff overlooking Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

[@GTSCoupe]

The what national park? Just say it the way you say everything else.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Parque nacional Cañón del Sumidero

[@JS-jh4cy]

Isn't that where the Mexican terrorists and uprising was back in 1990s and 2000s?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

There has been conflict there before, yes. But today, it is currently back to normal. There are still conflicts sometimes on the border with Guatemala but I wouldn't worry too much if you're planning to go to the border.

[@crystalgarcia2143]

Yes but they no longer doing it and they were only fighting the government i wouldn't call them terrorists they didn't a choice thats the only way they can be heard wouldn't worry about it
