On this excursion to the beaches of Boca del Cielo and Puerto Arista from Tuxtla Gutierrez, you'll enjoy the most spectacular coastal locations in Chiapas, home to a wide variety of birds.
Boca del Cielo & Puerto Arista Beach Day Trip
At 7 am, we'll collect you from your hotel in Tuxtla Gutierrez and set off for Puerto Arista, a coastal town on the Gulf of Tehuantepec.
We'll walk along its large beach, which is one of the most important sea turtle sanctuaries in the state of Chiapas. This place offers a perfect blend of golden sand and a rich variety of plants, including key thatch palm, limoncillos, tamarinds, coconut trees, and water pachiras. And not only that, but it will also be easy to spot albatrosses, pelicans, and seagulls fluttering around the area.
Our next stop is Boca del Cielo beach - do you know why it's called the 'mouth of heaven'? We'll find out as soon as we get there! One of the highlights of this spot is the La Joya lagoon, separated from the sea by a stretch of land and overflowing with shrimp and schools of fish. Also, in the surrounding areas, we can find mangrove swamps home to a wide variety of herons.
Here you'll have an hour of free time to try the traditional cuisine and enjoy a relaxing dip in the sea. We'll then return to your hotel in Tuxtla Gutierrez, arriving at 4 pm.
