La Ceiba sits inside Chiapas, Mexico and ranks #426 of 1421 cities in Chiapas by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to La Ceiba and the countries closest to La Ceiba by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Mexico. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across North America.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from La Ceiba, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around La Ceiba at a glance.
If you're stringing together stops in Chiapas, the neighboring cities table above doubles as a rough day-trip planner from La Ceiba — shortest hops first. Pair it with the population and area data to gauge which nearby stop is worth the detour.
See the Cities Near To La Ceiba table above, ranked nearest first with distance in miles, kilometers and nautical miles plus a compass bearing for each. Want the bigger picture?

Every figure on this page is a Great Circle (haversine) distance — a straight aerial line between the GPS center of La Ceiba and the GPS center of the other place, not a driving distance. It's the same math airlines use to estimate flight paths. View the La Ceiba map for the exact coordinates behind these numbers.
It's a straight line — the shortest possible path between two points on Earth's surface, ignoring roads, terrain and detours. Actual driving distance from La Ceiba will almost always run longer, sometimes significantly, depending on the road network. Treat the figures here as a quick planning benchmark, not a substitute for a live route from a mapping or navigation app.
Distribution planners use it to pick warehouse or hub sites within easy reach of La Ceiba. Sales and field teams use it to sequence visits by drive distance instead of guessing.
