Answer 1

no tips regarding cost, but check out some mayan ruins while you're there- we saw Chaccobean on a cruise excursion.  it was awesome!

Answer 2

For traveling use the bus systems...they are a good price ..use a backpack as they are better than lugging a suitcase on wheels...sit on the right side in the bus so when it stops and you are not getting off you can watch and make sure your luggage stays on the bus...if you have to use a taxi...bargain bargain bargain,,,to the lowest price....ask the locals where to find the cheapest places to stay..ill be there in june...have fun

Answer 3

Take a tent. I travelled in Chiapas and found that in the touristed areas (Eg. Palenque) it was really difficult to find a good place to stay for under US$20 a night. (If that's cheap enough for you, then you'll be fine) but if not, take a tent as a lot of places in these areas have camp ground which are really cheap to stay at ($2-$5 a night.)

Oh yeah. Also, I forgot to add this in: You can easily eat good food on the cheap in this area. Check out the local restaraunts to see if they have a "Menu del Dia" or "Commida Corrida" on offer. This is a set course lunch which usually includes a soup, a main course a desert and if you're lucky a drink.

It's really filling and great value. Expect to pay about US$ 3 - 5 for them, but unless you're a big eater, you wont need a very big meal for breakfast or dinner so you save money that way.
