Yumka

Zoo
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Yumka is a delightful small zoo that offers an engaging experience for families visiting the area. With guided tours showcasing various geographical zones, you can encounter fascinating wildlife such as jaguars, elephants, and toucans. The entry fees are quite budget-friendly—children under three get in free, while older kids and adults pay minimal prices.
It was a very very nice zoo it was small but nice the animals look very healthy I wish I could be more interactions with the Monkees

It's a very good place to go with the kids overall. Food options are not good at all, I mean, they serve its purpose if you're starving but nothing delicious or worth considering if you're not hungry, refreshments are good tho', try to call in advance to ask if they're in maintenance, otherwise you'll see a bunch of empty cages. Be there as early as you can.
Sonico — Google review
On my recent visit, the 2 guides for our tour were very informative and pleasant. They explained about every animal and their habitat. They talked about conservation efforts and where we can participate. The animals look well kept and healthy. My only concern would be DUMBO the elephant. His enclosure consists of only a metal structure in the middle of an empty land. With no big trees for him to cool off when the sun is at it higher point. It was saddening to witness how he tried to slim down and stay still in order to fit inside the very little shadow the structure was projecting. I hope the next time I visit the park, his conditions are better. They have a store at the entrance for you to buy snacks and plenty of choices for drinks since they don't allow outside food or drinks, yes, not even water. At the end of the train ride, there's a section with more exhibits and even though it is not a formal restaurant, they have sitting and they offer food options like tamales, empanadas, oreja de mico and different traditional candies and snacks. They also offer drinks and paletas de hielo. I hope everyone visiting Tabasco can take the opportunity to visit this place. It's not only kids friendly but has something special for all ages!!

3 hour wait to enter the park but it was actually worth it. That was on Easter Sunday. Bad idea. They say the park is empty monday to friday, go then. 4 stars because their organizational skills suck.
Matt F — Google review
This place is an amazing experience if you are in town, it’s fun for families. The prices are extremely affordable kids below 3 enter free, other kids are $40 (pesos), adults foreigners are ~$137 pesos (~$7 dollars) and local adults are only $80 pesos. It includes two guided tours: 1) a walking guided tour through the jungle, as you walk by the tell you all about the fauna and ecosystem there. 2) a train tour through the reservation where all animals are not caged, and in their own ecosystems. The third stop is a recreational area with additional animals and a park with a small shop for food and gifts. They have bathrooms both at the entry and on the recreational stop. Bring comfy shoes for walking, and clothes that cover your legs and arms! There are lots of mosquitos and ants around!

interesting little museum. In my opinion, the main attraction are the beautiful tiles in- and outside of the building.
Felixspiess — Google review
Small place with random memorabilia from old days. The building itself is fascinating, but it does not give a clear introduction in Tabasco's history as it is also history museum. The entrance is expensive for what it is 22 pesos for mexicans 34 pesos for foreigners. Foreign residents pay as foreigners. Not recommended.

Museum
History Museums
The Regional Museum of Anthropology, also known as the Carlos Pellicer Camara Regional Museum of Anthropology, is a significant cultural institution in Villahermosa, Mexico. Established in 1980, it boasts the second largest collection of anthropological artifacts in the country. Housed in a modern building, the museum offers an extensive insight into the Olmec civilization and the history of Maya, Zoque, and Nahua cultures in Tabasco.
Great museum about the Mayas in Tabasco. Entrance fee was 24 pesos and well worth the hour I’ve spent here. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the air-con works great! If you’re on a walk through town, it’s a great place to cool down while informing you about the history of the Mayas and watch many very interesting artefacts. Apparently, there are other expositions as well since they were preparing a painting exhibition, but at the time of my visit that part of the museum was closed to visitors, unfortunately.

The Lord of Tabasco Cathedral, also known as Catedral del Senor de Tabasco, is a stunning colonial Catholic cathedral located in Nueva Villahermosa. This mid-20th century edifice features twin bell towers that are beautifully illuminated at night and can be seen from various parts of the city. The interior boasts vibrant stained glass windows and minimal religious iconography. Positioned between the historic center and the Museum of La Venta, it serves as a prominent landmark in the area.
Beautiful cathedral in the middle of Villahermosa. Definitely worth a visit! To get in, use their entrance at the south side. (Right in front of the church, the gates were closed when I was visiting.)

National park
Nature & Parks
Parque Museo La Venta is an intriguing outdoor museum situated in western Tabasco. It was established in 1958 to protect the ancient Olmec settlement of La Venta from petroleum exploration, and houses several significant artifacts including giant stone heads and carvings salvaged from the oil fields. The park exudes a jungle-like atmosphere within the city, making it a fascinating destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
The park itself is very interesting. I was looking forward to see this place and the olmecs heads and it is truly worth the visit!
Silvia B — Google review
The ticket took forever,.than from the next window some man shouted: where are you from? He had to fill out a list, then at the entrance we had an argument since the ticket lady gave us the Mexican entrance fee and the entrance lady told her we should have paid the foreigner entrance fee, so they argued if a permanent residence permit makes a foreigner eligible for the regular fee or not and we just stood there.....until we decided to enter the park. A very unwelcome feeling. The park deteriorated a lot since we were here 4 years ago. Not worth the money. With or without discount.
Jeanette — Google review
A wonderful combination of a zoo, forest preserve and archeological site, with coatis roaming free thru the park, huge ceibas and mango trees and next to a lagoon with crocodiles, make it a unique place, not to be missed if you’re in Villahermosa.

I was visiting from the US and my friends wanted to take me here. It’s beautiful, for sure. I really like that it has the combination of being a museum AND a zoo! Mostly common zoo animals, but it’s still neat. I really enjoyed the bird area that you can walk into. The big head statues are awesome. The ONLY downfall is the amount of mosquitoes is torturous! Be prepared for that, bring plenty of bug spray/repellent because you will for sure be eaten alive by mosquitoes if not. We had bug spray and were still getting attacked haha.

Nice experience but the animal enclosures were not very well kept. My animal lover kids were very concerned. We were not aware of the zoo and we were just fine without the zoo part. Very hot and humid but fun to see the archeological monuments.

(Translated by Google) I didn't go to the casino, but to the restaurant area and it is very good, the price for the potions they serve is more than excellent. The taste of the food is very good too. I see that sometimes they serve a buffet. The service was quite pleasant from the waiters, always very attentive to what you need. In general in the casino there is a smell of cigarettes so if you are sensitive it may not be an ideal place, other than that it is excellent to go to relax and eat. (Original) No acudí al casino, sino al área del restaurante y es muy bueno, el precio por las pociones que te sirven está más que excelentes. El sabor de los alimentos es muy bueno también. Veo que en ocasiones igual sirven buffet. La atención fue bastante agradable por parte de los meseros, siempre muy atentos a lo que necesites. En general en el casino hay olor a cigarro así que si eres sensible puede que no sea un lugar ideal, fuera de eso es excelente para acudir a relajarte y comer.

Parque Tomás Garrido Canabal is a serene green oasis in Villahermosa, offering a romantic ambiance and stunning views of the Grijalva River. Built in 1929, it features a lagoon, an amphitheater, an orchid house, and over 2,000 native plants. The iconic Friendship Fountain is a must-see attraction that illuminates beautifully at night.
Great park to spend a relaxing time and take some great pictures in Villahermosa. Several vendors add to the full Mexican city experience and support you with food and drinks while you are on your walk through a picturesque scenery. Definitely worth a visit! Note that the letters of Villahermosa were not at its designated place in the middle of May 2021 (and not anywhere close). However, the park is huge and has many great sights to offer so you can be sure to take some great pictures.

(Translated by Google) It's impressive. The church on the outside is spectacular, just for its view whether during the day, afternoon or even at night makes Jalpa de Méndez worth the same as any magical town in Chiapas or Campeche, but the thing is not just there, inside It is built in detail and each space has a meaning, someone needs to do justice to all the symbolism that is inside, from the legends that are observed to the stained glass windows. If you don't stop by to visit her when you come to Jalpa, don't even say you came. (Original) Es impresionante. La iglesia por afuera es espectacular, solo por su vista ya sea de día, de tarde o incluso de noche hace que Jalpa de Méndez valga lo mismo que vale cualquier pueblo mágico de Chiapas o Campeche, pero la cosa no solo queda ahí, por dentro está construida a detalle y cada espacio tiene un significado, hace falta que alguien le haga justicia a todo el simbolismo que hay dentro desde las leyendas que se observn hasta los vitrales. Si no pasas a visitarla al venir a Jalpa mejor ni digas que veniste.

The city of Comalcalco is situated in the Comalcalco Municipality, which lies approximately 45 miles northwest from Villahermosa within the Tabasco state of Mexico. This location also holds a site of Pre-Columbian Maya archaeological importance known as Comalcalco. The ruins are surrounded by jungle trees and get very little tourist attention, yet they stand out due to their uniqueness in terms of architecture; many buildings were constructed using oyster shell bricks or mortar.

We got a private tour from the granddaughter of the man who originally built the hacienda. Really interesting to hear all about how the cocoa is grown and processed into chocolate.

It is an amazing place and experience. An interactive organic cacao plantation with a fantastic tour, culminating in a chocolate tasting. You learn so much about how the cacao is grown and processed. Allow at least 2 hours, so you don't miss anything.

This has been a very good surprise when it comes to museums. Is very interactive the services first class rustic and local as well as original. A 6th generation chocolate producer leads this interactive experience. You would not believe all the things that you can get from chocolate from delicious drinks to exfoliating creams. Highly recommended to anyone!!

From Cocoa bean to Bar. The Whole experience. Are you curious about how traditional chocolate is made? This is your place. They have lots of interactive activities where you will learn how to prepare, create and enjoy Chocolate. When you arrive right on the entrance advice by radio that you are ready to start the tour. Adventure and Enjoyment in one single place.

Travelled here with our elderly parents from the UK. It's wheelchair accessible in most parts. Our guide was a lovely local girl, I think her name is Yvette. She was very interested in us and in giving us a great tour. She has a lovely warm and giggly personality and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The original house is beautiful. The grounds are full of many different plantations and not just cocoa. If you're lucky you'll also see monkeys sitting high up a huge mangoe tree. We made our own chocolate with the cocoa beans. Then we finally visited the shop where we were given a very good selection of free samples. There is absolutely no pressure to make a purchase, but we couldn't resist. There is also a restaurant, though not sure what is served but I did see children drinking delicious looking chocolate milkshakes. The plantation is definitely an experience I would recommend.

Next day our tour started early and we were luck to have Jesus - Chuchu to be our guide he explained us each and every small detail about the growing harvesting and processing of the chocolate, thank you chu chu it was honor talking to you

Absolutely love this place. The tour is well worth it. They have a botanic garden with various plants and an area where with the old house and belongings of the hacienda workers. You visit the owners’s old house, it’s like a museum. Then you get the chance to create your own handmade chocolate. The best thing is that everyone who works there is super kind and attentive- it was a wonderful experience, loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed being at this museum. The cost is very reasonable 65 peso. I did not spend enough time here due to my schedule. I am not sure if the site is the actual location where Olmec citizen would have lived 1200 - 400 BC, though I believe it is. If you're an enthusiast that does not speak Spanish give yourself 4 - 6 hours minimum.This will allow for you to read all the information posted, but most importantly walk through the site and try to understand the context in which the monuments are placed. The statutes inside are the largest that I've seen but also the most weathered. The statute at the entry to the museum is a replica made of concrete. Try to cover yourself to protect from insects when walking through site outdoors.
ABOB B — Google review
Like an open air archeological site. The important thing here is the Olmec statues. There were lots of ant-eaters in the park. Also there were lots of ants carrying leaves too(naturally). One part of the park was a zoo, it was sad to see those animals in cages pacing back and forth.
Berke A — Google review
We received a tour from a person working in the area for 40 years that made our trip worth it. Almost all the pieces are now copies. The originals are in Parque La Venta in Villahermosa. There is a nice population of oropendula birds in the site. They open at 900 and close at 1630 hrs.

The site and museum showing monuments of Olmec civilization. Most of it are replicas due complicated modern history of the site when were the original pieces moved to Veracruz and Mexico city due to urban and industrial projects in La Venta. Unfortunately it's visible that the museum is underfunded. The museum building need maintenance.

Parque Eco-Arqueológico Copalita

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Park
Nature & Parks
Parque Eco-Arqueológico Copalita is a small archaeological park near Huatulco, nestled in the jungle of the Bahias de Huatulco nature reserve. The entrance fee is around 46 pesos and it's definitely worth it. The shaded trail takes you past pre-Columbian structures like a ball court, temple, and large pyramid. Although climbing on these structures is not allowed, you can still admire them from the trail.
This park recently reopened and cost about 46 pesos to enter. It took about two hours to walk through. There is a visitor center but it appeared to be closed. The shaded trail leads through several pre-Columbian structures including a ball court, temple and large pyramid. You are not allowed to climb any of these but you can view them from the trail. The trail could use some maintenance - there are some areas where I had to dodge hanging branches. Hike to the steep upper part of the trail to the Mirador - a lookout to a beautiful panoramic views of the ocean and the ruins of an ancient lighthouse.

Please note* this place is constantly updating, so things may have changed! Summary: 1. Gorgeous views with a small uphill walk/ hike. 2. Loads of geckos, birds, and other animals. 3. A lot of the pathways were washed out due to hurricane. They seem to be rebuilding! 4. You cannot go up to the ruins, though you can see them from about 12 feet away. 5. There was no small museum when we visited. It seemed empty, but maybe it will be there when you visit! While supporting a National Park in Mexico, you can take a stroll up a stone pathway to some outstanding views of La Bocana, the coast, and see where the river and ocean meet by a sand bar. The views were gorgeous, and we saw so many animals. If you're lucky you can see horses running along the beach below. While walking, there are big signs that teach you about the local fauna in Spanish. It's interesting stuff! Some of the pathways have been washed out due to hurricanes. They seem to be actively fixing this, but something to note as a lot of the pathways are under construction. Still great to go support them while they rebuild! The ruins are active archeological sites. This means you cannot take photos, or walk directly up to the ruins. It's still really neat to see the architecture, as it's different than how the Mayans used to build.
Ash W — Google review
Great two hour walk in a Mexican jungle. Definitley a work in progress, but well worth the 90 pesos. Great views at the top of the walk. Maybe the archeology people and the National park people will get back together under cordial circumstances, settle their differences and get back to letting people take photos of the 1500 yr old ruins. Right now, no photos allowed.

Still relatively unknown to tourists, the Copalita Ecological Park and Ruins (Parque Eco Arqueológico Copalita) sit on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in the Huatulco resort area. Remnants of pyramids, temples, a ball court, and a pre-Hispanic lighthouse dot the lush landscape of the archaeological park, which also includes a massive stone believed to have once been used in sacrifices. It has a beautiful viewing point!
Coucai — Google review
Beautiful reserve that includes prehispanic temple, a pyramid and more. The ruins are just that -- ruined by time and nature but picturesque in this low-lying jungle. The viewpoint (mirador) over the ocean offers rare views of untrammeled nature.
Johntony — Google review
It is worth visiting this park! The place has a local biologist that will guide you throughout the place, explaining everything. If you are not versed in understanding Spanish, I highly recommend to bring someone to translate. There are lots of interesting facts along the way. To spot animals comes out of luck. But even if you are not lucky, you’ll still enjoy a good hike among local flora. There are some amazing trees, and of course, the view from the highest point to the beach and the river mouth is worth the visit! There’s also a sort of museum or visitor center with local handcrafts. It’s not just an exhibit, but also a store if you wish to take something home. However, the main point of the exhibit is not to sell it, but to explain how some of these crafts are done. This part was very educational too. There are explanations written throughout the place both in Spanish and English if you wish to learn more or not depend on a guide. However, to get into the forest is only allowed with the guided visit. Last, but not least, this place relies on donations. They are optional, but encouraged, and they suggest to give away 300 pesos per person. The donations help them maintain their jaguar sanctuaries, which is part of the mision of the organization that’s in charge of the administration of this place.
Vasti O — Google review
We dragged our feet before we got here. Shouldn’t have. It’s a beautiful park and you should set aside 2-3 hours to see it. Very friendly personnel and if you like to you can hire a guide. We didn’t. We were planning to come back with some friends and do it again with a guide but unfortunately that did not happen. Oh well next year. Part of the park is a bit steep so be prepared.
Per-Olof E — Google review
This is museum park around Archeological digs in the area, highlighting the indigenous people of this region (Mixtec & Zapotec). Temples, town & ball court are some of the digs that can be seen. There's also the spectacular views of the meeting between river and ocean. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) It is a very well organized cooperative that takes you to enjoy the most emblematic places in Huatulco, in addition to being aware of their conservation. In addition to the bays, they take you to other places such as the Manglares de la Ventanilla, Mazunte, Puerto Ángel, Las Cascadas, etc. Messrs. Neri Pinacho and Miguel (I don't remember his last name) attended to us. The service was excellent, super punctual when looking for us at the hotel, in addition to recommending very good places to have breakfast. (Original) Es una cooperativa muy bien organizada que te lleva a disfrutar los lugares más emblemáticos de Huatulco, además de estar pendiente de la conservación de los mismos.

La atención fue excelente, súper puntuales al buscarnos al hotel, además de recomendarnos lugares muy buenos para desayunar.

(Translated by Google) Boat tours are big scams. Excessively expensive for the actual tour (all the bays on the tour are half an hour or less away, and in most cases they can be reached by land). I think it's not worth taking a boat but rather going directly to the bay called playa la delivery (by land), where you can snorkel for a very good price (100 pesos free time), without paying for useless transportation. Additionally, credit card charges add 16% of the amount (clearly VAT, which they would not pay if you gave the money in cash). In general, I do not recommend taking this type of tour, especially those in front of the port. (Original) Los tours en lancha son grandes estafas. Exageradamente caros para el recorrido real (todas las bahías del paseo se encuentran a media hora o menos, y en el mayor de los casos se puede llegar por tierra a ellas). Creo que no vale la pena tomar una lancha sino ir directamente a la bahía llamada playa la entrega (por tierra), donde se puede hacer snorkel por muy buen precio (100 pesos tiempo libre), sin pagar el inútil transporte. Adicionalmente los cargos con tarjeta de crédito le agregan el 16% del monto (claramente el IVA, que no pagarían si dieras el dinero en efectivo). En general no recomiendo nada tomar este tipo de tours, y más los que se encuentran frente al puerto.
Jorge S — Google review
(Translated by Google) The 7 bays tour lasts 7 hours because the catamaran is very slow. I recommend a private boat which doesn't cost much and goes fast. The catamaran stops you to eat in a bad place which they themselves warn you is bad when you are about to arrive and they leave you there for 2 hours in addition to being expensive. Better to just go see the bays from afar so as not to disturb the fauna. (Original) El paseo de las 7 bahías dura 7 horas debido a que el catamarán es muy lento. Recomiendo una lancha privada el cual no cuesta mucho y va rápido. El catamaran te paran a comer en un lugar malo el cual te advierten ellos mismos que es malo ya cuando estas a punto de llegar y te dejan ahi por 2 horas ademas de caro. Mejor solo ir a ver las bahías de lejos para no molestar a la fauna.

Hagia Sofia

Nestled in the picturesque mountains of Oaxaca, Hagia Sofia is a delightful botanical garden that offers visitors an immersive experience into nature's wonders. Named after the owner's daughter, this privately run oasis is not just about stunning flora; it also features a variety of exotic fruits like mangosteen and rambutan, which you can sample with their highly recommended breakfast package.
A nice visit to the privately run botanical garden in Oaxaca. Breakfast, lunch, swim included in the price (800 pesos per person - booked directly with Hagia Sofia). Armando (the owner) named this place for his daughter. He's a knowledgeable and friendly guy, who expertly guided us through the amazing variety of plants and trees. There are multiple washrooms and rest points with refreshing drinks along the way. Lunch and breakfast are delicious. The waterfall is nice, and an excellent place to swim. Also included in the price is pickup from our hotel in Huatulco. Totally worth visiting if you're in Huatulco!

You can try them if you buy the breakfast package which is highly recommended.

I would visit it again on my next trip to Huatulco. (Original) Excelente reserva, tiene frutas paradisíacas como mangostán, rambután, noni, cacao, carambola, entre otras. Puedes probarlas si compras el paquete de desayuno lo cual es súper recomendado. Dentro encontrarás muchas flores y frutas, hay una cascada pero el tiempo para nadar no es muy grande, conviene más para sumergir los pies y sacar fotos. Volvería a visitarlo en mi próximo viaje a Huatulco.

What a stunning day exploring the bays of Huatulco! Virgilio and Carlos were incredible—professional, knowledgeable, and excellent instructors with a great sense of humor :) Their expertise, especially Virgilio's passion as a marine biologist, made the experience not only fun but also deeply educational. It was amazing to enjoy both diving and learning about the vibrant coral ecosystems and colorful fish species. I highly recommend Buceo Huatulco for anyone looking for an unforgettable diving or snorkeling adventure in these beautiful waters. Huge thanks to Virgilio and Carlos for an outstanding tour!

It was a great pleasure to meet Virgilio, Pilar, Kevin and Kathy! I did my "Advanced" with them 6 dives/3days in total. All instructors were very patient and attentive, never let me out of the sight, provided lots of information about the area, shared some photos and videos and even helped me to put my wetsuit on. Every day we got some delicious fresh fruit during the break and cold drinks. Chill days out there by the ocean - not rushing at all - perfecto! I'll definitely be back one day mostly because I can see the big heart behind the business. Děkuji moc za vše <3

I spent three days diving with Virgilio, Tito and Carlos between 15 and 18 of june 2022. Buceo Huatulco has been a very good choice. Relaxed but very professional on the boat and in the water. Diving equipment in excellent conditions. Both, good service and good company. A lot of knowledge about local marine life and dive sites but also about the best taco options. It has been a pleasure!

Had a great time diving with these guys. My wife is certified, but just barely. They were very patient and helpful with her. Super easy to work with. Prompt, courteous, and safe. Will be back again, and would book with Buceo Huatulco again. Also - I think they might be one of the only shop that dives on a Sunday, maybe this will help someone - helped us!

I absolutely LOVE this scuba company! This is my second trip to Huatulco, and I make sure I dive with with Buceo each time I come. Buceo is fun, caring and has excellent equipment. We met at their dive shop, signed the forms, and then headed out to the marina. On the boat, all our towels were stored in a dry area as we took the boat to our dive location. We only brought masks and dive computers - Buceo provided the rest. All was good. We once again had Carlos as our Dive Master, and was joined by Kat who is well on her way to becoming a DM. Carlos sets a lovely pace, and points out every creature - big and small. He's also very knowledgeable about the coral and the shape it's in - global warming has not been kind to our oceans! Between dives, we had a variety of drinks, and lots of fresh fruit. We spotted a whale breaching as we went to our second dive location, so the captain quickly slowed and took us as close as we could get without disturbing the whale. For the Canadians who are visiting - Carlos and Kat speak excellent English. We get caught up on the latest happenings in Huatulco, and always have a wonderful time with this amazing crew. I highly recommend Buceo! Alisen

Beautiful beach and loved the Mexican music in the background. Restaurant staff tries hard to get your business, but that’s just how it is in almost any touristy place in Mexico. You just smile and keep walking til you get to where you want to go. Once you choose a place, their service is top notch.

Great beach 🏖️ and you don't need snorkeling gear with just some goggles your good since the fishes are really close to the ocean shore.

Once you arrive, you will be approached immediately by restaurant staff trying to convince you to go into their restaurants. Facing the beach, walk to the right look for the bathrooms & showers & take the public path to the beach. The water was calm, lovely & incredibly clear. Be aware that in the afternoon numerous boat tours show up quickly and their customers are herded into the restaurants to be fleeced. I simply walked to a quiet area of the beach & set up my space and had an enjoyable time.

Tons of beach side restaurants of which the staff will accost you as soon as you get out of a taxi, trying to get you to come to their place. At the far left end of the beach, there's a small public swimming area where we were able to snorkel from and see a wide variety of small fish. The waves and current there were fine for swimming and our kids being in the water. Beautiful turquoise, warm water.

Nice beach but sadly not for kids as I was advised and very expensive. The side where the kids can swim is open sea and the waves can pull you They rent pool swim inflatables , which is crazy!!!! , there was a couple with their child and the waves started pushing them to the deep , they had to swim and push him Of course the people who give it to rent will never tell you this danger so please don’t rent this and also very expensive. I am glad I didn’t rent it and if something happens you have to pay full price for the ring more than 1000 thousand pesos The food is not good and all is expensive , a chelada cost 150 pesos I would rather recommend LA ENTREGA . La entrega beach has not sun beads but you can rent an umbrella and the restaurant la entrega has an amazing food and very good prices and good place for children too
