Well that depends on where you plan to wander. Downtown Tapachula, about 11 miles from Tapachula, Chiapas Airport (TAP-Tapachula Intl.), can be tricky to drive around. Make life easier by picking something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Keep in mind that Tapachula is also a jumping off point for some of the sandy shores around Chiapas. If your vacation is more about cruising down highways, then you may prefer something with a little more trunk space and room to move about. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
