Veracruz, now over 400 years old, brings you the most cultural, adventure, and eco tourism available all in one place anywhere in Mexico. With its miles of beaches, huge coral reef, semi-tropical lush forests, and high mountains only an hour away, there’s more eco and adventure tourism than a visitor has time to do.
The wonderful people open their hearts and worlds to foreign visitors, and cultural tourism abounds. Everywhere you go participation in the traditional living culture of Mexico is yours for the taking. Visiting the past cultures of Mexico and feeling the presence of past ways happen in the area’s many archeological ruins.
Veracruz is one of Mexico’s largest tourist centers. The year around party atmosphere culminates in the country’s biggest Carnaval.
Every day all year long there’s music (jarocho, marimba, mariachi, norteño) from afternoon until dawn in the zocalo, old culture charm surrounds you in the little stores in old colonial downtown buildings, in parks and museums, in tiny three table restaurants, in the open-air market, and all along Mexico’s most vibrant malecon. Veracruz’s harbor is busy, and ocean-going ships pass almost at arm’s length.
Veracruz and its surroun dings are the safest destination in Mexico. Here you’ll find much of Mexico’s finest scuba and snorkel, whitewater rafting, river and ocean kayak, mountain climbing, nature tours and birding. City or countryside, you’re constantly immersed happily and deeply in old Mexican culture.
