Be careful in Chiapas, the government sent 10,000 Federales to Oaxaca(we think) along with 6000 to Acapulco to "calm things down" that's my quote. That's the extent of our knowledge. We wouldn't recommend the back road from Palenque to San Christobal. We did that once, took 9 hours for 120 miles with 2 local road blockages to collect "tolls", 8" spikes thru a 3" thick board are an effective road block. Also about 5000 topes. Not to mention the stops for a thorough Army drug inspection and one to clear out a landslide. The really scary part was the children with a string across the road hoping to collect a "toll". The would even jump on the running board while moving. A rather trying day.
