Explore the freshness and cultural spirit of Xalapa, capital of Veracruz, a city among mountains where nature is united with art and knowledge

Surrounded by a mountainous environment covered with fog and lush vegetation, Xalapa stands as a destination that invites contemplation and calm. Known as "the Veracruz Athens", this city combines its academic vocation with an intense cultural and artistic life.

Start your visit at the Anthropology Museum of Xalapa (MAX), considered the second most important in Mexico of its kind, which houses Olmec, Totonacas and Huasteca pieces of incalculable historical value.

Continue in Juárez Park, the heart of the city, from where you can see unparalleled views of the Cofre de Perote and Pico de Orizaba volcanoes. Very close, discover Los Berros Park, an emblematic site of family coexistence.

The Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanical Garden, with its collection of endemic plants and orchids, is a perfect space for those looking for direct contact with nature and moments of serenity.

For art lovers they will enjoy spaces such as the Diego Rivera Pinacoteca, which houses the largest collection of this muralist outside Mexico City; the Agora of the City, a cultural meeting point; and the State Theater, stage for concerts, opera and dance.

The gastronomic experience is not left behind: accompany your walk with a high-altitude coffee from Coatepec, internationally recognized, and taste typical dishes.

In every corner, Xalapa offers an atmosphere of freshness, contemplation and culture, consolidating itself as an ideal city to discover at a quiet pace, between mountains, history and tradition.
