Archeological site of El Tajin:
El Tajín is a pre-Columbian archeological site in southern Mexico and is one of the largest and most important cities of the Classic era of Mesoamerica. El Tajín flourished from 600 to 1200 C.E. and during this time numerous temples, palaces, ballcourts, and pyramids were built. From the time the city fell, in 1230, to 1785, no European seems to have known of its existence. El Tajín was named a World Heritage site in 1992, due to its cultural importance and its architecture. This architecture includes the use of decorative niches and cement in forms unknown in the rest of Mesoamerica. Its best-known monument is the Pyramid of the Niches, but other important monuments include the Arroyo Group, the North and South Ballcourts and the palaces of Tajín Chico. In total there have been 20 ballcourts discovered at this site (the last 3 being discovered in March 2013). Since the 1970s, El Tajin has been the most important archeological site in Veracruz for tourists, attracting over 650,000 visitors a year.
Papantla (Pueblo Mágico):
Papantla is a beautiful town located in the north of the state of Veracruz. The city was founded in the 13th century by the Totonacs and has dominated the Totonacapan region of the state since then. This is the home of vanilla, which is native to this region and the Danza de los Voladores. Papantla still has strong communities of Totonacs who maintain the culture and language. The city contains a number of large scale murals and sculptures which honor the Totonac culture. The name Papantla is from Nahuatl and most often interpreted to mean place of the papanes (a species of crow). This meaning is reflected in the municipality’s coat of arms.
Tecolutla:
Tecolutla is a town and municipality located on the Tecolutla River on the eastern coast of the state of Veracruz in Mexico. It has the closest beaches to Mexico City as it is only a four or five-hour drive from the capital. It is along the Gulf of Mexico called the “Emerald Coast”. Tecolutla’s biggest attraction is its natural settings of wetlands with estuaries, canals and mangroves associated with the river. The name Tecolutla means “place of the tecolotes or owls´.

Entry from: Catemaco and San Cristobal de las Cassas, Mexico
Entry Title: From Veracruz to Chiapas
Entry:
During our stay on the Costa Esmeralda we enjoyed many great times with a family from Australia. Bev, Dave and their three children are touring North America for a year in a motor home. Together we headed for Veracruz and a couple of nights along the beach at Campamento El Rey on our way to Catemaco. Catemaco is away from the coast in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas on the shore of Lake Catemaco. The surrounding forest is tropical and lush. We explored the surrounding countryside with our Rav4, finding birds we had not seen before, Oropendolas, Tucans, Ringed Kingfisher, Brown Jays along with smaller Blue-grey and Yellow-winged Tanagers and Aztec Kingfishers. PHOTO_ID_L=beautiful-falls-near-catemac o.jpg] From Catemaco we went south to Chiapas and while on our way along the winding Cuoto (Toll Road) from Veracruz to Tuxtla Chiapas Ken suddenly noticed our towed was tracking to the right. Luckily there was a spot wide enough to pull off and we discovered although the car was attached to the Motrhome the tow plate on the car had broken. Soon unhitched we drove each vehicle separately. That night we spent the night outside Tuxtla at Hogar Infantil, a children's home operated by a U.S. Non-profit Corporation of the same name. There we met Daniel and Helene from Montreal who were also going to San Cristobal in the state of Chiapas San Cristobal is a beautiful city with lots of culture and interesting surrounding villages. We visited two villages, Chamula and Zinacantan, during a Mayan festival, where the language most speak is Tzotzil. Outside the community many speak Spanish and often English.Left aligned photo tag: Each of the villages has its own dress which is worn all the time and during this festival we saw other ceremonial clothing. The only way to visit these communities is with a tour. Although we were told by the other tour company that Mercedes wasn't touring anymore they neglected to say that her company still existed. Our guide, from Mecedes' company, provided an all day tour and was wonderful at explaining the customs, beliefs, ceremonies and the community gov ernment. In addition to Spanish, English and some German he spoke Tzotzil and was known in the community. San Cristobal has many interesting shops and wonderful markets all within walking distance of Bonampak Trailer Park .The Park is attached to a lovely hotel of the same name. We bought and enjoyed fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood from the market. Nearby the colorful Craft market, beside San Domingo Church, displays beautiful embroidered and woven articles. We are taking home a few pieces that we couldn't resist. While there were two groups that arrived with interesting vehicles. One group was driving Vixen RVs, which were made in Michigan in the 1980's. The other was a huge bus with sleeping accommodation, cooking facilities and regular seats for 24 people. This bus is used by tour groups from Germany. With the tow bar was repaired by a local welder and as good as new we were now ready for the drive to Oaxaca. .

Barcos de la droga HD
Todos los dias se libra una batalla en el mar entre los Cuerpos y Fuerzas de Seguridad del Estado y los que se dedican al trafico de drogas. Gracias a su labor tarde o temprano todas las redes son desmanteladas, la droga y los barcos utilizados confiscados y los responsables detenidos y puestos a disposicion judicial.
