Chiapas gets the big boats

While cruise ship arrivals declined last year, Puerto Chiapas is doing better than ever. The port is close to Tapachula, which in turn is just a few miles from the Guatemala border. One volcano straddles the international line. Archaeological sites and coffee plantations are among the attractions in the area. This season, 19 ships are expected to arrive and with them some 25,000 passengers.
