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 of the state to arrive at the archaeological zone of Quiahuiztlán. This area features remnants of a pre-Hispanic cemetery of the Totonac culture, pyramids, and a ball game area with panoramic views of the beaches of Villa Rica in the Gulf of Mexico.

Next, we will reach Cempoala, known as the place of "twenty waters", surrounded by regional rivers. It is significant for the Totonac culture, including main buildings such as the Temple of the Chimeneas and the circle of the Gladiators among others.

We will continue to La Antigua, a town on the banks of the Huitzilapan River. Here we will see remnants of the Spanish conquest, such as the Casa del Cabildo, the first Catholic church of Mexico, and Hernán Cortés' house.

After enjoying the environment and a walk along the hanging bridge, we will return you to Veracruz or Boca del Río. The tour lasts 7 hours from the pickup time.
