Itinerary

Quiahuiztlan Archaeological Zone

one hour Admission included

We will give a guided tour lasting 1:30 hrs. Located on the slopes of a volcanic stone hill on the Gulf coast of the state of Veracruz. You will also be able to observe that there are remains of pyramids and a ball game from where you can see a splendid panoramic view of the beaches of Villa Rica in the Gulf of Mexico and the La Mancha lagoon.
Zona Arqueologica de Cempoala

one hour Admission included

We will travel to Cempoala, one of the most important archaeological sites in the state of Veracruz. The buildings of that site have an architectural beauty that is worth admiring, such as the Temple of the Sun or Great Pyramid, which resembles the temple of the sun in Tenochtitlán; and Las Caritas, whose name comes from the hundreds of stucco skulls that adorned a small structure at the base of the temple's stairs.
