What happened to VERACRUZ, MEXICO?!?
Our 1st time in Veracruz, Mexico! After a week in Puerto de Veracruz, we're thinking, WHAT THE HECK happened here?
►Learn Spanish like us!
During our time in Veracruz City, we enjoyed some time at the beach, visited Boca del Rio (a suburb of Heroica Veracruz), went to the Veracruz aquarium, chased crabs, spent some time on the Veracruz Malecon, and explored a bit of what this port city has to offer.
We were thoroughly surprised by many aspects of the city, including some absolutely mouthwatering food local to Veracruz: consomé, picadas, and platano relleno. With how little tourism there is in Veracruz, Veracruz the question we're asking is, what happened to this place? It seems like a once thriving beach city is now practically a ghost town by comparison. Still, the largest and oldest port in Mexico remains incredibly active. We saw huge ships coming into the city continuously throughout our time here.

TIPS FOR TRAVELING TO VERACRUZ, MEXICO:
1. Wear shoes on the beach. We saw lots of glass on every beach we visited throughout Veracruz City.
2. Budget for your trip. We found Puerto de Veracruz to be much more expensive than other Mexican cities.
3. Expect to drive to your destinations in Veracruz City. Some areas are more walkable than others, but most places will be a 10-20 minute drive away. At the time of creating this video, Uber was not available in the area. There are lots of cabs in the area and also public buses.
4. You might need to cook at home. There are no shortage of seafood restaurants in Veracruz, but we found the number of restaurants overall to be much lower than in some cities.
5. When looking for a place to stay in Veracruz, Veracruz you'll probably want to find one with air conditioning. During our time here, it was 80+ degrees during the day with high humidity.

Más adelante encontrarás una glorieta con un monumento a Miguel Hidalgo, ahí debes tomar la desviación hacia la izquierda que dice Teconzautla.

Los sábados sale una corrida directa a el Geiser a las 3 p.m. desde la Central de Autobuses del Norte
Si lo visitas desde otra parte de la República Mexicana puedes usar Google Maps o Waze para calcular tu ruta.
*Qué hacer en el Geiser
Lo principal es relajarse y desconectarse por un momento de todo el estrés, puedes disfrutar este lugar con tus amigos, familia o pareja. Te aconsejamos que si llevas niños cuides mucho en qué alberca van a meterse, ya que las temperaturas son muy altas y no es aconsejable aventarse clavados por su seguridad.
- Disfrutar de las albercas, hidromasaje, chapoteaderos y albercas infantiles.
- Nadar de noche para gozar más de la temperatura del agua.
- Visitar el SPA Natural que se hace con el vapor que sale del respirador volcánico conocido como Geiser.

*Dónde hospedarse en el Geiser
-En el Geiser hay hoteles, cabañas y renta de tiendas de campaña. Los costos van de los $250 pesos hasta los $2,000 pesos, esto depende de qué tipo de habitación o cabaña escojas y el número de personas que se hospedarán en ella. Recuerda que el rentar una habitación o tienda de campaña no está incluida la entrada.
Si deseas acampar con tu propia tienda, solo tendrás que pagar una cuota dependiendo el tamaño de tu tienda. Pero si no tienes tienda de campaña puedes rentar una ahí mismo. Para conocer los precios actualizados de cada habitación, cabaña y tienda de campaña consulta nuestro blog
La habitación donde nosotros nos quedamos tiene un costo de $800 pesos más un depósito de $200 pesos que te es devuelto al entregar la habitación sin ningún desperfecto. La habitación es sencilla para dos personas con baño completo privado, toallas, clóset y t.v.

EXPLORE MEXICO: Relax by a Lazy Tropical River in Veracruz
Explore the natural-side of Mexico. Why not skip the beaches by the ocean and enjoy a lazy day relaxing by a tropical river hidden in southern Veracruz.
The stream is very clear, not too deep, cool, and very refreshing on a hot day.
This location is inconveniently located in the tropical rain forest region of southern Veracruz not all that far from the Gulf of Mexico. It is a rough ride to get there but well worth it.
This would be great place for a Mexico family adventure!
Mike Vondruska and his staff at discoververacruztourstours.com can assist you in creating a great one day experience in the tropics of Veracruz, leaving in the morning from the port city of Veracruz and returning late that evening.
The day would consist of:
- A nice 100 mile ride to the the World Biosphere area of the Los Tuxtlas Region in southern Veracruz from the port city of Veracruz.
- Jungle hike with a local guide who will tell you about the many medicinal purposes the local trees and plants provide
- Along the hike, you will find hidden jungle waterfalls where you can take a dip in the crystal clear pools below
- Lunch at a local familys rustic home in a jungle village
- Then on to the stream in this video to relax, swim, and enjoy nature's peaceful tropical beauty found here.
- Return to the city of Veracruz or nearby Boca del Rio
