Are There Buses from San Cristobal de las Casas to Guatemala?

Question

Have heard there are mini vans that go? Is this the Cheapest Way??

Answer 1

The mini vans that go from San Cristobal are usually quicker and more comfortable but the bus is still the cheapest option. There are 10 border crossings between Mexico and Guatemala, and fairly frequent bus services between border points and Guatemalan towns.Change only enough money at the border to get you to your destination in Guatemala,as the money changers are notorious for short changing and giving very poor exchange rates.

Remember to pay your DNE fee before leaving Mexico.

(If you flew in to Mexico, the fee was included in the airfare).

If you didn't fly in you can go to any bank and ask to pay the DNE fee.They will stamp your immigration papers which you will present,along with your passport or other ID at the border.

Buen Viaje!

Answer 2

Sorry, I don't have personal experience with bus travel in that part of Mexico..       See frist site below for a great article on bus travel in Mexico.   See 2nd site for some info on a bus that goes  into Guatemala.  This site ( Larpmans) is a great site, but has not been updated in a couple of years.  You can check out the websites of the bus lines listed there that go into Guatemala.
