context_page_description: The Guatemala–Mexico border is the international border between Guatemala and Mexico. There is no continuous wall on the border, although there are sections of fence near populated areas and official border crossings. The border measures 871 km and runs between north and west Guatemala and the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas. The border includes stretches of the Usumacinta River, the Salinas River, and the Suchiate River.
  Geopolitically, this border represents much of the western and northern boundary of the region of Central America within North America. It is across this border that most of the commerce between Mexico and Guatemala and the rest of Central America takes place.
context_section_description: In 2014, Mexico's border with Guatemala and Belize had 11 formal crossings (10 with Guatemala and 1 with Belize) and more than 370 informal crossings. As part of an effort known as Plan Frontera Sur (Southern Border Plan), which is intended to limit illegal Central American entry into the country, Mexico will increase the number of formal crossings.
  Guatemala and Mexico had 10 formal border crossings in 2004:
  Ciudad Hidalgo, Chiapas - Ciudad Tecún Umán, San Marcos
  Talismán, Chiapas - El Carmen, San Marcos
  Union Juárez, Chiapas - Toquían Grande, San Marcos
  Mazapa de Madero, Chiapas - Sibinal, San Marcos
  Ciudad Cuahtemoc, Chiapas -  La Mesilla, Huehuetenango
  Carmen Xhán, Chiapas - Gracias a Dios, Huehuetenango
  Nuevo Orizaba, Chiapas - Ingenieros, El Quiché
