Quiahuiztlán, Cempoala & La Antigua Tour

Discover two of the most important archaeological sites in Veracruz: Quiahuiztlán and Cempoala. In addition, you'll visit La Antigua, the place of residence of Hernán Cortés.

Quiahuiztlán, Cempoala & La Antigua Tour

We'll begin our trip by travelling approximately 75 km (46 miles) north to arrive at the archaeological zone of Quiahuiztlan. This area contains vestiges of the pre-Hispanic cemetery of the Totonac culture, remains of pyramids, and a ball game location, offering a view of the beaches of Villa Rica in the Gulf of Mexico.

Afterward, we will proceed to Cempoala, known as "twenty waters" due to the surrounding rivers. This site features significant buildings of the Totonac culture, including the Temple of the Chimeneas and the circle of the Gladiators among other pyramidal bases.

Next, we will head to Antigua, a small town along the Huitzilapan River. Here we will explore the Casa del Cabildo, the first Catholic church of Mexico, and the house of Hernán Cortés.

After enjoying this area and walking along the hanging bridge, we will return you to the city of Veracruz or Boca del Río. The tour lasts approximately 7 hours from the pickup time.
