Naolinco Franciscan Route Tour
Between 8 am and 8:20 am, we will pick you up at your hotel in Veracruz, before starting our two and a half hour journey through the beautiful Naolinco Mountain Range.
Along the way, we will make several stops to visit iconic monuments, such as the Fortress of Xalapa and other Franciscan Churches. The professional guide will tell you all about when the Franciscan order arrived in New Spain and many other fascinating facts.
We then continue driving until we reach the town of Naolinco, where we will get off the minibus for a guided tour of "the jewel of Veracruz". We will stroll through its picturesque streets and visit the most important locations, such as the House of Culture and the church of San Mateo.
After the guided tour of Naolinco, you will enjoy one hour of your own free time to have lunch (not included) at one of the local restaurants. This is a great opportunity to taste the rich and varied gastronomy.
Feeling recharged, we then head to Naolinco Market, where you can buy some brilliant handmade souvenirs to take home.
Our tour ends when we return to your hotel in Veracruz, arriving between around 6 pm.
