Actopan

Surrounded by a privileged natural environment, Actopan is the perfect destination to enjoy a weekend between trails, rivers, history and adventure, unique experiences that invite you to tour it with all your senses.

Its proximity to sites of great historical and ecological value allows fascinating routes to be traced; it begins with the archaeological zone of Quiahuiztlán, with its 78 pre-Hispanic tombs declared Historical Heritage and descends to Villa Rica beach, where Hernán Cortés landed in 1519.

Enter El Descabezadero, the source of the Actopan River, and relax in its turquoise blue pools (pozas) while listening to the murmur of the water between the stones. The river itself is ideal for adventure activities such as rafting, kayaking, riverside tours, bird watching and camping.

If culture is your thing, visit Coyolillo, very close to the municipal capital, where one of the oldest carnivals in the country is celebrated every March. It mixes African-Mexican roots with dances, animal masks and colorful outfits.

To complete the experience, the municipality offers lodging options such as cabins, rural inns and family spaces, perfect for resting between the singing of birds and the whisper of water.

The road trip is also part of the charm. Along the way you can buy fresh fruits (frutas frescas), artisan bread (pan artesanal) and malanga, local products that will enrich your visit.

Savoring Actopan in May is a must, with its traditional Mango Fair (feria del mago), which offers you cultural, gastronomic and artistic activities for the whole family.

So you know, the adventure begins here in the heart of Actopan. Visit us!
