Emiliano Zapata

Just 15 minutes from the capital is the municipality of Emiliano Zapata, a land with deep historical roots. Its origin goes back to old trade routes that connected Xalapa with the southeast of the state, giving way to settlements that, over time, were consolidated around haciendas, springs and rural roads.

The municipality is named after the revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata, in honor of his struggle for land and justice, values that are still in force in the soul of its people.

A first stop on this route is the Hacienda de Pacho, one of the oldest in the region, which preserves the architectural splendor of the 16th century. Walk through its gardens and coffee plantations: this space invites you to go through the vestiges of the viceregal past, a fundamental part of the agricultural development of Veracruz.

A few kilometers away is the Museum and Ex Hacienda El Lencero, a residence that belonged to General Antonio López de Santa Anna and that today houses a vast collection of historical objects. The place also offers a sensory experience between gardens, water mirrors and views of the Cofre de Perote, ideal for capturing unforgettable moments.

Following the path towards heat and tranquility, the Carrizal thermal river is perfect to relax in its sulfurous waters, known for its therapeutic properties, which makes it an ideal option for rest and connection with nature.

Finally, don't forget to delight in its gastronomy: from antojitos, empipianadas and tamales rancheros, prepared with ingredients typical of the region.

Whether for a weekend getaway, a cultural route or an immersion in hot springs, Emiliano Zapata is a destination that invites you to walk without haste and enjoy every moment.
