Day Trip to El Tajín & Papantla

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Veracruz and head out on an approximately 4-hour journey to the archaeological site of El Tajín.

When you get there, you'll have the chance to explore this old Totonac city. You'll find that this area has been well conserved. Its most remarkable feature is the Pyramid of the Niches; with seven platforms, it exceeds those in Egypt.

After lunch, you'll visit the El Tajín Museum, where you'll learn more about the Totonac culture and see additional archaeological ruins.

We'll then leave the archaeological site of El Tajín behind to set off to Papantla. Here, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the city, discovering the most emblematic places and learning about the local lifestyle.

The tour will conclude and you'll be dropped back at your hotel at approximately 8:30 pm.
