Product Info

After picking you up from your hotel in Veracruz at 9 am, you will head to the archaeological site of Cempoala. This ancient site is one of the most significant Mesoamerican locations in the region, serving as the capital of the Totonaca people's Totonacapan kingdom and the first urban settlement encountered by the Spanish upon their arrival in the Americas.

You will enjoy a guided tour of Cempoala, exploring its key structures, including the Sun Temple, the temple dedicated to the wind god Ehécatl, the Temple of the Chimneys, and more. Additionally, if you're fortunate, you may witness the Ritual Ceremony of the Voladores de Papantla. This fertility dance features four young people climbing and descending a pole to honor nature and the spiritual universe.

After touring Cempoala, you will proceed to the town of La Antigua, regarded as the first true Spanish town established in the Americas. You will visit the Ermita del Rosario church, the Casa del Cabildo, the first Spanish city hall on the continent, and the house of Spanish colonizer Hernán Cortés. You will also see an old tree with a fascinating story that will be revealed during the tour.

At the end of the tour, you will be taken back to your hotel in Veracruz, arriving at 2 pm.
