Orizaba & Coscomatepec Day Trip
After picking you up from your hotel in Boca del Río between 8 am and 8:20 am, we'll set off for two of the Pueblos Mágicos, or Magical Towns of Veracruz.
First, we'll arrive in Orizaba, where we'll head straight to the Palacio de Hierro, a 19th century art nouveau-inspired building. Afterwards, we'll take a cable car up to the Cerro del Borrego hill, from where we'll enjoy spectacular views of the town and the dense tropical forests surrounding it.
We'll then head towards Coscomatepec. As we approach this town, we'll see the impressive Citlaltépetl Volcano. In the town, we'll visit the Church of San Juan Bautista, which houses an image of the Christ of the Agony. Did you know that this is one of only three replicas in the world?
Next, we'll see the Parque de la Constitución and the Palacio Municipal, a historic colonial building that is sure to impress you. We'll also be lucky enough to visit a traditional bakery.
You'll then have two hours of free time to get some lunch. Finally, we'll make our way back to Boca del Río, where we'll arrive at your hotel between 7 pm and 7:20 pm.
