About Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Tuxtla Gutiérrez, capital of Chiapas, is a warm southern Mexican city at the gate of the Sumidero Canyon, with a famous zoo of native animals.
Tuxtla Gutiérrez lies in a hot valley in the Central Depression of Chiapas, in southern Mexico, and is the state capital and its largest city. Most of it is modern, but the main square has a cathedral with a tall tower, and the Parque de la Marimba hosts evening music, since the marimba is the instrument of Chiapas. ZooMAT, a zoo on a wooded hillside, shows only animals native to Chiapas, among them jaguars and tapirs.
