Day Trips from Veracruz to Papantla

On this full-day tour, visit the archeological zone of El Tajin on the north coast of Veracruz. The ancient capital city of the Totonac culture, the zone is filled with ruins, including the Pyramid of the Niches, which was a civil calendar with seven levels and 365 niches incorporated into the design. After a lunch break, visit the nearby town of Papantla, which is known for vanilla production and talented voladores—acrobats who perform on a colorful pole suspended high above the ground. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included.
