Located in southern Mexico, bordering the state of Tabasco and sharing a border with Guatemala, the state of Chiapas is one of the most significant regions for Mesoamerican cultures like the Olmec, Maya, and Chiapanec. Consequently, some of the area's most important tourist attractions are the archaeological zones of Yaxchilán, Palenque, Chinkultic, Toniná, and Bonampak, which are crucial for understanding the construction, structural, and social processes that shaped this territory.
Comprising cities such as Tuxtla Gutiérrez, San Cristóbal de las Casas, and Tapachula, the state has recently seen a strong push to decentralize architecture away from the country's major capitals. This movement showcases a contemporary style currently being forged by emerging practices based in or visiting the region. Below is a selection of houses, hotels, restaurants, and cultural buildings, among others, built in the state of Chiapas.
