Our first pyramid in Mexico, cannot wait to see more. El Tajin has lots of stories to share, even if most of the site and old city is destroyed. Just to imagine how they built such a magical place back then makes me speechless. Our guide Jorge was very knowledgeable and friendly, so was our group transport, comfortable. Looking forward to the pyramid of the sun.

We are HUITZILAPAN EXPEDICIONES, a Company formed up by a team of professional local guides, all of them with more than 15 years of experience running rivers in Veracruz and all across the Country, and even other rivers around the globe. We decided to create this Company to offer life experiences where nature, fun, adrenaline and safety come together through Whitewater Rafting and other outdoor adventure activities like canyoning, rappel and zip lines. The Huitzilapan River “the hummingbirds’ river” in Nahuatl, which runs through Jalcomulco, Veracruz, is the main destination for Whitewater Rafting in Mexico due to its quality rapids that can be run all year long. In addition, you’ll find yourself immersed in exuberant vegetation, Jalcomulco is a natural spectacle just for you.

Visitors can tour this impressive fort, which Hernán Cortés built to deter pirate attacks.
Reviewed By marisa582002 - Mesquite, United States
This is a nice place to visit, it used to be a very famous prison, is the Mexican version of Alcatraz. 4 Mexican Presidents were in this jail. Has a lot of history. It was very hard for prisoners to escape, but there were some that were able to do so. You have to visit if you go to Veracruz!!

Souvenir and food stalls on the end closer to downtown, this place is good for a walk after dinner. It’s crowded and cheerful during Sunday nights.
