Question

Still searching for bus line from Guadalajara to Tapachula?

Answer 1

I don't believe there is a direct bus from Guadalajara to Tapachula.I think you will need to connect through DF.

There are several options from there to Tapachula.

When I lived in Guadalajara I often traveled to Central America via Tapachula but I always connected through Mexico City to Tapachula,Chiapas.

Answer 3

I don't think there is one.  Mexico City is the big hub for all the country's transportation, and I don't know that enough Mexicans go to Tapachula from Guad. for there to be a direct service.  Now, you could probably find a route that bypasses Mexico City but you'd have to change buses maybe more times. (I wouldn't worry too much about planning it ahead on the internet- any major Mexican town is going to have 1st class bus service).

I wouldn't sweat it about the line too much.  Most longer-distance 1st class lines in Mexico are pretty decent, when you're at the terminal you can look at which ones have the newest, cleanest buses.  I've taken Cristobal Colon in southern Mexico and it was very good.  

As for border crossings, I would go with the Ciudad Cuahtemoc (which is actually barely a town) crossing further inland. I've done both. The Tapachula crossing is very busy and chaotic and slow and there are questionable people lurking around, and its very hot and humid.  The inland crossing is much more pleasant, and the bus ride to it via San Cristobal is very beautiful.  

This is pretty much true all the way until Costa Rica if you go that far- the inland route is scenic, cool climate, and with easier border crossings, while the Pacific coastal route is sweltering lowlands and has busy unpleasant crossings.  The driving time is quicker because its flat but the time saving may be eaten up by longer crossing times, you even have to go through an extra country (El Salvador).

On the other hand, I think that in Tapachula you have a better choice of Guatemalan pullman buses (Galgos is pretty good, see www.transgalgosinter.com.gt), compared to the inland which as less frequent buses by Velasquez which is not as good and El Condor which I kind of liked it was an ancient ex-greyhound. a guidebook would have a schedule it may not be that frequent maybe 5 a day you may get stuck with a 2nd class bus which is kind of fun and colorful for 2 hours until you get to huehuetenango which has frequent buses.
