Once in a lifetime! Get up close and personal while learning about crocodiles and their habitat. Tour guide was great and funny. Owners have amazing stories and are so welcoming. Try the crocodile dishes if you dare. "Croconachos" were very good.

Stayed here two nights ago. Slept in a beautiful wood cabin with a comfortable bed and a/c. The staff were wonderful. The manager Sergio was more than helpful. The food they serve in their restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. Not a touristy place. Very peaceful. A real quiet fishing village

An exceptional place with kind and attentive staff and crocodile-driven owner Carlos. The tour around the farm was truly interesting, with a lot of information on crocodiles’ life and even anatomy. Food was amazing and not expensive at all. I strongly recommend this place to everyone staying in Celestún or Campeche. Totally worth the trip!

Excellent owners giving us quick tour before eating in their restaurant! We ordered mixed seafood cocktail, fish fillet & their "crocodile signature" of course (^o^) & we followed recommendation given by the lady owner "buttered crocodile" the ingredients are fresh only too much salt on the crocodile probably their added more salt on the salted butter when cooked it :P to compensate they gave us chocolate dessert! Price wise is reasonable for the remote area, 425 pesos for one starter, two main meals and three bottles of beers plus on the house desert plus eco tour! Awesome hospitality....

Fantastic hosts. Great activities. Would recommend this to everybody being in this region. Clean and comfortable rooms. Great food. The fishing and sea life tour is a must!

I simply must return here! I felt so at ease while learning about nature, and their tour through the mangrove is such a relaxing experience you can't miss it. In the end, you get to breath in the fresh ocean breeze and feel at ease.

The food was good, just a little too much pepper for my taste. Service was great and for a little extra you can take a walk through the crocodile farm. Just the roads to get there are not great.

This is a lovely place to stay, and the trip we booked to go out through the mangroves and to see the flamingos (late February through to April) was magical

A lovely place with a good beach. Nice cabañas stay here if you visit the island. Breakfast was really nice.

5*s for the good points but it's important to understand what this place is and isn't. First, the people running the place are very kind and helpful. The restaurant is excellent - beautiful fresh fish, lovely avocado and tomato salads, excellent churros, decent prices. It is also very quiet, peaceful and a good base for fishing and eco tours. However, the sea is not swimmable and the beach sand is hard. The cabins are also basic - there is air con but no fridges, which is a great shame. Plus, it's an hour's detour on rutted roads to get there. Having said all of that, you're in a fishing village on Mexico's Gulf, the, place has a Steinbeckian quality (The Pearl), the locals seem nice and the beach dogs friendly, so if 6* $500 pn pseudo-eco-spa-resorts are not your thing, this place just might be a good pit stop - we're glad we went and thanks to the manager for all of the help

Quiet, gorgeous beach location. Cuisine fresh fish landed 60 yards away. Very friendly staff. Menu needs expanding, but I went there for fish and loved it.

This place has an OK location and cabañas right on the beach. Sadly its wifi is severly lacking. There is nothing to do here and no cervezas apart from low end Tecate. No beer vendor in town. No atm in town. Tours from this location are really expensive.

This tourist hotel is booked by a fly fishing operator and promoted as Isla del Sabalo.

Good food and rooms

One of the oldest Mayan cities with amazingly preserved artifacts. The 5 floor pyramid is beautiful, the whole site is 10/10.

The most breathtaking sight I have seen so far! It is much bigger than you can imagine. We took a guide because there was 1 available and there were no visitors so it felt like a real private tour. The guide explained us much more than you are able to find yourself which made the experience even better!

Amazing and calm, do not miss this archeological site!!! After being shocked by the experience in Chichén Itzá with the many thousands of shouting vendors constantly breathing in our neck to buy at their stands, here we went through the opposite. Instead of the crowded and loud place we arrived to a calm and peaceful Mayan site with grandiose well-preserved ruins. We were probably a total of 10 people at the site at noon on this Tuesday. So special, we loved it! ❤️

Made an afternoon trip from Campeche as part of a Yucatán roadtrip. Absolutely worth the drive and feels unique compared with other sites in the region. Mid-sized site with a handful of enormous structures, most importantly the massive acropolis with the main palace. Almost everything can be climbed, the notable exception being the palace. Excellent small museum with everything translated into English. Iguanas are sparser compared to other regional sites so spotting them is a real treat.

A breathtaking site in incredible condition. Entrance is only 100 pesos and it is well worth getting a guide (although there is a great museum and helpful signage too). We spent 2.5 hours there but would have liked to stay longer

Nice archeological complex. We were almost alone in there. Not many tourist. Good value for the cheap entry fee. Lots of mosquitoes - bring some protection.

A must do in Campeche !!! Ancient beauty that the Mayas build & is still standing in great condition. The site is well kept, but no stores to buy water or food, so go prepare & it's really humid and hot. Mosquitoes 🦟 will bite you since you walk in, but you are in the middle of a tropical jungle, so take gallons of Mosquito repellent!!! Besides that, it's an incredible place to explore the greatest of the Mundo Maya in Mexico 🇲🇽

Great small hotel intercontinental the center of Campeche. Te rooms are clean, bit could be a little bit bigger. I rated this place 4 stars because of the good value.

Lovely hotel, with renovated and clean rooms, and good service!

clean hotel, average service. no parking available, no restaurant either, beds could be more comfortable, specially pillows (too tall). near historic downtown and restaurants in 59th street. OK for a one night stay, but not for prolonged stays

Rooms needs to be more clean

A couple of steps above a Motel 6.

Exelent

Xtampak tours

Fun and educational walk-through with various artifacts. Allocate 40-60mins.

(Translated by Google) Screening schedule and guided tour of the naval museum in the library (to be able to enter the room where there is a 4D projection of the simulation of a ship and its route) 10am 12 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. There is no cost to enter the museum, I was not able to enter the other room due to the schedule But in the main room the information is very interesting about the types of ships and the representation of the large ship is incredible (Original) Horario de proyección y visita guiada al museo naval en la biblioteca (para poder entrar a la sala donde hay proyección en 4D de la simulación de un barco y su recorrido) 10 am 12 pm 4 pm 6 pm No tiene costo el acceso al museo, no pude entrar a la otra sala por el horario Pero en la sala principal la información es muy interesante sobre los tipos de barcos y la representación del barco en grande está increíble

(Translated by Google) A small museum with a few rooms containing interesting exhibits regarding Mayan culture and the city of Campeche. One of the rooms that I liked the most is the representation of what a ship looked like inside. Apparently at some point in the museum, the back of the ship had projections and movement to simulate the sensation of movement of the ship, but only the gaps remain from the projectors and that area no longer has movement, I still recommend visiting the museum. Note: the museum seems to be closed since the main door remains closed and there is little visibility inside, but the place is in operation, you just have to push the door to enter. (Original) Un museo pequeño con unas cuantas salas que contienen exposiciones interesantes con respecto a la cultura maya y a la ciudad de Campeche. Una de las salas que más me gustaron es la representación de como era un barco por dentro. Al parecer en algún momento del museo, la parte de atrás del barco tuvo proyecciones y movimiento para simular la sensación de movimiento del barco, pero de los proyectores solo quedan los huecos y esa área ya no tiene movimiento, aún así recomiendo visitar el museo. Nota: el museo pareciera que está cerrado ya que la puerta principal permanece cerrada y tiene poca visibilidad al interior, pero el lugar si está en funcionamiento, solo hay que empujar la puerta para entrar.

(Translated by Google) Excellent explanation from the guide and very friendly! Beautiful place to remember what life was like on a boat, even with a small place to feel like you are on one! (Original) Excelente explicación del guía y muy amable! Bello lugar para recordar como era la vida en un bote hasta con un pequeño lugar para sentirte que estás en uno!

(Translated by Google) The Museum of the City of Campeche, although small, is beautiful, it is worth visiting. On the ground floor they show us the most famous pirates and privateers who came to the city, as well as data from the time; On the upper floor, they show us replicas of different ships that were used in those years, with illustrations, models and very interesting explanations. For Mexicans, entry is free (we went on Sunday). Highly recommended. (Original) El Museo de la Ciudad de Campeche, aunque pequeño, es precioso, vale la pena visitarlo. En la planta baja nos muestran los piratas y los corsarios más famosos que llegaron a la ciudad, así como datos de la época; en la planta alta, nos muestran replicas de diferentes navíos que se utilizaban en esos años, con ilustraciones, maquetas y explicaciones por demás interesantes. Para los mexicanos la entrada es gratuita (nosotros fuimos en domingo). Altamente recomendado.

(Translated by Google) I revisited it after 7 years… I found the unpleasant surprise that two of its rooms were already closed. It's a shame because they were very interesting rooms about piracy and the city's fortifications. When asking when they were reopening, one of the ladies at the entrance petulantly tried to minimize the closure and the fact that we were not sure when they would reopen or what would happen. The Navigation Room and the mural are the most salvageable now… The good explanation of piracy was lost. It is small and quick to travel. (Original) Lo revisité después de 7 años… Me encontré con la desagradable sorpresa que dos de sus salas ya fueron cerrada. Es una lástima porque eran salas muy interesantes sobre la piratería y fortificaciones de la ciudad. Al preguntar cuándo reabrían, una de las señorita de la entrada, con petulancia, intento minimizar el cierre y el hecho de no tener certeza de cuándo reabrirán o qué sucederá. La Sala de navegación y el mural es lo más rescatable ahora… Se perdió la buena explicación de la piratería. Es pequeño y de rápido recorrido.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place, the guide explains very well the history of the beginning of the city and its history as a port of navigation in general. (Original) Un lugar muy interesante, el guia explica muy bien la historia del inicio de la ciudad de su historia como puerto de la navegación en general

This is a house of a wealthy family turned into a museum. It’s shows the lifestyle and living standards of wealthy merchant family when compared to common people. It’s situated on the main central square. Nothing special and was small, however our tour guide made is interesting and the rating is in context of Campeche. We took a two hours walking tour which covered this. The tour was very reasonable.

20 mp each 03/22. Nice bit of history from the colonial Era on Campeche. It takes about 30 min.at a slow pace. Lots of looking around to do. There is a book store but everything I looked was in Spanish.

Free entry, you just have to sign. Nice House with English and Spanish description of the rooms.

This is free and very interesting to ddiscover the colonial period of Campeche. Located in front of a nice park but sad that most of the information is in Spanish, not much in English, so a sign for me to learn Spanish! Not very well maintained, hence just 4 stars

Beautiful place, inexpensive to get in and the gift shop has some nice items which are also very affordable. Worth the visit.

Nice house, it gives you an idea how the rich people live in Campeche on the past. This is inexpensive place. Only 20 pesos.

Nice place to see how People usted to live years ago. There is a bookstore too.

This is a pretty unique attraction to visit in Mexico. An original fortified bastion with a former city gate within the framework of surviving and restored city walls. It appears like something you'd see in Spain or Portugal, which is what makes it so neat. It's not exactly pretty or spectacular, but it is unique. There are a few shops and a restaurant or two on the "old" side of the walls. If you look north, off in the distance you can see the Sea Gate at the other end of the old city. Nice!

A walk along the old Campeche city walls comes with some nice views. Keep in mind there is zero shade.

One of the best historical sights in town! For only 15 pesos you are allowed to climb the walls of the former fortifications with a beautiful view over the colorful city center. Highly recommended, well worth the price. Can be quite hot up there in the sun, though, better bring some water and a hat. You might expect to spent about 20 minutes there, if you walk all around.

Just a small part of Mexico's history. The whole city is really nice. Night show at Puerta de Tierra is ok, but unfortunately is only in Spanish, they should include an English version to welcome foreign tourism.

Fantastic little museum. Great collection and display of Mayan culture and history of Campeche... Also some awesome facts about 🏴‍☠️!!! The staff were eager to answer any questions about the exhibits and there were plenty of language options. Great for a quick tour and lesson on the area!

Worth a visit.Long wall,(like the great Chinas wall,but maybe Ch shorter:)). Beautiful views around for a 15 mnx cost.

Part of old colonial fort. Nice view from the walls.Pirat room at the entrance😁. Entrance fee 15 pesos. Also good pub opposite gate🍻

The cenote itself is beautifully located. The facilities are a bit run down. We spent about an hour in the place, and were all alone the entire time. Life jackets provided and opportunities to kayak and swim. The water is quite warm so the swim wasn't as refreshing as we'd hoped. All in all a nice place but probably not worth the 1.5h detour over very poorly maintained roads.

The place is decent, but Agua Azul is a lie. It’s murky green water. Naturally it’s beautiful, but nothing like the beautiful crystal clear waters of northern Yucatan peninsula. Nice the kayaks were included. 200 pesos seemed like a lot for a remote site like this, but overall a good experience. Probably wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re already in the area looking to buy some time. Monkeys are always a plus!

I really enjoyed this place. The men that ran the zip line really made sure I felt safe and were very patient. The only reason I didn't give 5 star is because they do not have water or snacks to purchase and if your there all day you will need to pack a lunch. BUT the team was helpful and went to town for us to purchase water. Overall worth the drive!

Beautiful place, very exciting the zip line, and swimming in the cenote to rejuvenate amazing 😀

This is a really lovely open air Cenote. First you take a walk, we also did a zip line high above the lake, that was awesome. You see the monkeys in the trees, and after aclgreat walk around, we had a “refreshing’. Swim in over 30’ C water. The middle of the lake is a bit colder. You should just visit this Cenote. You can also cano there.

Zip-lines were not working and we were charged 150 pesos per person. This is much higher than it used to be according to some reviews. But the worst of it all was that the gate was not fully opened which resulted in some scratches and a bump in our rental car... That being said, the place is great for kayaking and watching local nature. There are plenty of howling monkeys in the area! Observing them in the natural habitat was the highlight of the day.

Definitely closed for a long time now. No guards though, and the cenote is easily accessible around the utility shed. Absolutely worth it, beautiful scenery and amazing water. A couple local kids were enjoying when we stopped by and didn't care about our presence. Bring what you need and check it out, it's worth making the detour and stop.

I went only to spent some time it's a good place to hang out

It can be better, there's no a pizza restaurant just italianis, and the reception there is awful, at least there is wifi, but they should fix that.

A good place too loose a few hours looking at stores and getting some food

One of only shopping mall in ciudad del Carmen that is airconditioned with nice shops and restaurants and a cinema.

Quite and peaceful place, all-in-one zone to have a complete fun!

Nice place, you can find restaurants, shops and banks

It was too crowded l didn't go up

Cool Mexican highway a little bit look alike Florida overseas highway.

Ok

Imagine the view Golf of Mexico white San

Awesome... been sightseeing coastal.

Ok

YOU CAN SEE JUMPING DOLPHINS!

Hemosos

Very informative and the staff of really welcoming! I can highly recommend this place!

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful place embedded in the core area of ​​the Pantanos de Centla Biosphere Reserve, Tabasco... It is independent of the CONANP administration, the cooperation is $55 pesos that contribute to its conservation. They have 4 exhibition rooms related to the ecological and biotic aspects of the reserve (vegetation, soil, water, fauna, geography, hydrography) and climate change. You can climb the watchtower 20 high, its main function is to monitor forest fires and admire the union of 3 rivers: Usumacinta, San Pedro and Grijalva. You also walk the path under the shade of mangroves (mainly white and red), ceibas, corks, macuilis, red, among other species, as well as spotting fauna (birds, mammals and reptiles). It is beautiful, I have visited it twice. Access to the general public is only from Thursday to Sunday. (Original) Es un hermoso lugar incrustado en la zona núcleo de la Reserva de la biosfera Pantanos de Centla, Tabasco...

(Translated by Google) Great place if you like nature, it is generally clean and preserved, however it is important to mention that if you are looking to enter the swamp or if you are looking for action ecotourism, this is not the right place, it is more for hiking of a single route. General aspects: - The place is privately managed and the entrance costs 40 pesos, independent of this payment you have to pay around 60 pesos (there is a discount for students and senior citizens) to "enter the reserve", that payment is federal and is made practically in the same place. - The hiking is a single path from which you cannot go out freely to explore, it is approximately 700 meters, and despite this defect, the route is very pleasant. - You can see crocodiles, spider monkeys, lizards and several species of birds. - In the place they sell potatoes and coconut sweets, as well as pozol, there is no main dish as such, but you can bring your food already prepared, it is not allowed to make a fire inside. - It has interactive rooms, kite-style children's museum", there are 4 and they are well preserved although they are small. - It has a direct dock to the river, the view is very beautiful. - You can fish but only with the rods they rent there (50 pesos), and what you catch you have to return to the river, you can't take it with you. - It has a viewpoint, above you can see the union of the Grijalva and Usumacinta rivers, and the different colors of the water, it is very beautiful and worth going up. Recommendations: - Wear comfortable and sports clothing, the weather is warm. - Bring repellent, although there are not as many insects as it might seem. -Bring binoculars to observe the animals, although they are rented on site. - The boat rides are independent of the place and range in price from 1000 to 1300 pesos, according to Sapo la pedrada, they last 1:30 min and take you to the arms of the river, they don't get into the swamp and wetlands as much either. , with great luck you can see free manatees in the river, although due to their nature they do not approach the boat. - Next door there is a restaurant that is also independent. - The route from Villahermosa is towards Frontera and once you cross the river bridge, the road is immediately there, the turn is to the right. - It is the most practical option to see the Marshes of Centla Reserve, if you put "Margins of Centla Biosphere Reserve" on Google Maps, it sends you to a geographical point where there is nothing. (Original) Gran lugar si te gusta la naturaleza, esta en general limpio y conservado, no obstante si es importante mencionar qué si estas buscando adentrarte en la ciénega o bien si buscas ecoturismo de acción, este no es el lugar indicado, es más bien para hacer senderismo de una sola ruta. Aspectos generales: - El lugar es de administración privada y la entrada cuesta 40 pesos, independiente a este pago tienes que pagar alrededor de 60 pesos (hay descuento para estudiantes y tercera edad) por "entrar a la reserva", ese pago es federal y se realiza prácticamente en el mismo sitio. - El senderismo es de un solo camino del cual no puedes salir libremente a explorar, son 700 metros aproximadamente, y pese a este defecto, el recorrido es muy grato. - Se pueden observar cocodrilos, mono araña, lagartos y varias especies de aves. - En el lugar venden papas y dulces de coco, además de pozol, no hay como tal un plato fuerte, pero puedes meter tu comida ya preparada, no se permite hacer fuego dentro. - Cuenta con salas interactivas, estilo papalote museo del niño", son 4 y están bien conservadas aunque son pequeñas. - Cuenta con un muelle directo al río, la vista es muy hermosa. - Se puede pescar pero solo con las cañas qué rentan ahí mismo (50 pesos), y lo que pesques lo tienes que devolver al río, no te lo puedes llevar. - Cuenta con un mirador, arriba se ve la unión del rio Grijalva y el Usumacinta, y los diferentes colores del agua, es muy hermoso y vale la pena subir. Recomendaciones: - Llevar ropa cómoda y deportiva, el clima es cálido. - Llevar repelente, aunque no hay tantos insectos como podría parecer. -llevar binoculares para observar los animales, aunque rentan en el lugar. - Los paseos en lancha son independientes al lugar y rondan en un precio de 1000 a 1300 pesos, según el Sapo la pedrada, duran 1:30 min y te llevan a los brazos del río, tampoco se meten tanto en el pantano y los humedales, con muchísima suerte puedes ver manatíes libres en el río, aunque por su naturaleza no se aproximan a la embarcación. - Al lado hay un restaurante qué también es independiente. - La ruta desde Villahermosa es dirección Frontera y una vez que cruzas el puente del rio, inmediatamente esta el camino, la vuelta es a la derecha. - Es la opción más práctica para ver la reserva pantanos de centla, si pones en Google maps tal cual "reserva de la biosfera pantanos de centla", te manda a un punto geográfico en el cual no hay nada.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful encounter with nature, a must-see in Tabasco (Original) Maravilloso encuentro con la naturaleza, imperdible de Tabasco

(Translated by Google) An incredible place to enjoy nature, the museum is very interesting and has a 700-meter circuit and a viewing platform where you can enjoy a wonderful panorama. (Original) Un lugar increíble para disfrutar de la naturaleza, el museo es muy interesante y cuenta con un circuito de 700mts y un mirador donde puedes observar un maravilloso panorama.

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.

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.

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!

Awesome place! Educational tour in Spanish, family friendly, impressive variety of animals, well kept. Super friendly and helpful staff. Bug spray is a must!!!!

Nice place to visit, especially with children. You can see crocodiles and many other animals almost in natural conditions here.

This is a great spot to see some animals and enjoy a nice park.

interesting little museum. In my opinion, the main attraction are the beautiful tiles in- and outside of the building.

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.

Small museum but interesting, you will visit it in less than one hour. Entrance cost 35 mxn. Cashier tried to scam us...

Beautiful but private access only

Super

Very small, it was ok

Ok

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.

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.

Today it was free. No flash photography and don't touch anything. Not really kid friendly and you have to pay for everything.

Very cool outdoor museum of Olmec sculptures and altars. Situated on a lovely lagoon, it's one of the highlights of Villahermosa (excepting the dismal, unnecessary zoo included in the park).

Make sure to bring mosquito repellent so that you can enjoy this place.

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.

They have a 1.5 hour long tour for 350 pesos. You see various plants and get to enter the factory. There is a wee visit at the museum too. They have monkeys! Bring mosquito repellent - you’ll be eaten alive. It was good, but I enjoyed the other hacienda tour better (Jesus Maria).

Anna, granddaughter of the founder, is an amazing guide. Wonderful tour of the grounds and fascinating exploration of cacao production.

We had a great time at this place! The tour guide was awesomely nice, explained everything and responded all our questions! The tour includes the cacao plantation, the fabric/museum aaand a chocolate drink! It was not only super interesting but really tasty! After one hour we were full of new facts and super delicious chocolate! I would totally recommend this visit to everyone!

Guys with good intentions. I had a good time but they have a big room for improvement. In general the conditions of the Hacienda are average, I realized that many places were not cleaned for years. It's not the same visit and old place than a abandoned one or tending to that.

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. If you want a tour in English call one day ahead to book it, but the Spanish tour is also excellent if you know at least a little bit of Spanish.

This is an awesome hacienda to visit. The tour was amazing and we learned so much! The chocolate was so delicious and we bought more. They preserve the jungle and chocolate trees in a natural state for education and preservation.

Right from the entrance, you will gather the smell of cocoa being elaborated. This is the home the Bombon of Maracuya an award winning creation which won in Paris and New Work. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Hacienda with a huge history. It started to operate from the 20's.

My wife and I were very happy to visit this farm on our first afternoon we were delighted to meet the owner who spent a longer time chasing with us explaining lot about fauna and flora. 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

It is truly incredible to visit the Jesús María hacienda. We learn about the origin of the Tabasco culture with respect to cocoa and chocolate making. If you have the opportunity to visit this Don't miss the Hacienda, you'll love the experience of visiting it.

What a great place to visit english tourguide jesus really knows how to make it all come to life really great. To top it all of also seen some monkeys

Excellent explanation from Ms Chely, best tour guide ever!. Enjoyed walking through the cacao farm. Enough parking space, restaurant and store. If you have mosquitoes bite allergies be prepared.

We found this experience online will looking for things to explore in Villahermosa. We loved this tour. It was very informative and Jesus was a wonderful guide. We loved getting to taste all of the different chocolates.

Great experience!!! We had Alexa as our guide, she was great, super knowleadgeable, happy to show us around and answered ALL our questions. The Hacienda is a little piece of paradise. If you want to learn about this incredible fruit you must definetly visit Hacienda Jesus Maria.

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!

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.

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.

It is a good place to visit, it is Olmec!!! Do not skip it!!! Attention : No ATM in this small town, and no cheap stay here.

It is a good open-air museum. Usually with few visitors. We got a guided tour from a person that have been working there for a long time, so he told us a lot of interesting facts.

Good museum, Some excellent carved stone Olmec and Maya artifacts

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.

Small but wonderful museum and site. Easy to walk. Bring bug spray. Trails are fairly well marked in the forest. You can walk up the backside of the earthen pyramid which at the time was the highest in North America.

No longer open and you can tell it has been shut down for a long time. Simply just a pyramid by the beach now.

First time seeing this kind of museum, shaped from the famous Pyramid. I enjoyed the tour, and beside it, you can find the entrance and enter for only 20 mexican peso per person.

A small but great collection (from private) 10mp entrence fee. Right by the ocean. The guy proposed me a guided tour but i refused. What the heck they really know about Olmecs !? I have my own believes ;) Just be careful, city is not super safe.

Great place I learned a lot!.

Quirky little collection with labels proposing an early visit of asian cultures with the Olmecs :P Interesting group of artefacts however.

Small, almost no explanation.

Good

It is a place where you can live together and it has several interesting places.

Great place to visit with friends or family, good shopping options, food and entertainment.

Well, something I like it’s Cinemex, I always go there with friends and family and I like it, but the hole mall it’s a little bit awful, almost all the places are closed and there’s almost nothing at the mall

Way too busy, very few shops, not enough cafeteria tables

The best place in Coatzacoalcos to hang around. Need more activities.

Good place. Have many stores and quality products.

Was good but they close very early

The lake and surrounding areas are beautiful. I took a boat tour and visited a number of areas around the lake. It was a little too commercialized for me. They tried to sell you things at each stop. I was able to see monkeys on two of the islands in the lake.

It looks beautiful. There are boat rides available 🤩

A place I always stop and stay

Cool

Beautiful

Nice tour.

(Translated by Google) An excellent place to enjoy with your partner or family. There are two boat fees: when you pay for a private tour and when you take the boat open to the general public. I think I paid $400 per person in the summer of 2025 on a shared boat. The tour is beautiful, even though the wind is northerly in Veracruz. They take you to Monkey Island, explain some important facts about the place, and take you to a place where you can buy food and crafts. And what's essential: they take you with a "white witch" who will clean your pocket, depending on your mood. They also offer a mask made with mud from the lagoon. Greetings, travelers. (Original) Excelente lugar para disfrutar a tu pareja o a tu familia. Existen 2 costos por lancha, cuando pagas un tour particular y cuando vas en la lancha para el publico en general. Creo que pagué $400 por persona en el verano del 2025 en una lancha colectiva. El recorrido es hermoso aunque haya norte en Veracruz. Te llevan a la isla de los monos, te explican algunos datos importantes del lugar, te llevan a un lugar donde puedes comprar alimentos y artesanías. Y lo que no puede faltar te llevan con una "bruja (o) blanca (o)" que te da una limpia de bolsillo, según como te dejes. También te ofrecen una mascarilla a base de barro de la laguna. Saludos viajeros.

Beautiful place to visit and enjoy the waters of the river, The waters are at a perfect temperature for the heat and, unlike other rivers the water is warm, there is a small well-stocked store, the road to get there in good conditions, I only hope that our ejidatarios friends get agree on that conflict that benefits no one, even so highly recommended to admire the beauty of the waterfall from the other side, that is, the Cerro de la Iguana.

Very good place to see the falls. But there is a problem with the manegement, so most people know that it was close and also after entrance you can not find good service ! Place looks like abandon!!

The falls are beautiful. You can walk up to the top of the falls for an amazing view and also go down to explore the area below. It was a great experience and highly recommended.

Mesmerizing and astonishing. 'El Salto's' waterfall is beautiful, truly one of mother natures gift to the world. A must see on your visit to Los Tuxtla's region in Veracruz. A great place to take the family. People of all ages will be impressed by the falls massive pour of water and roar. The overlook brings you close to the edge of the fall. A stairway to the bottom of the fall allows you the opportunity to feel the crash of the water. FYI, you will get wet. Make sure your phone has a case and screen cover. Unfortunately access to the bottom is not wheelchair accessible, please be mindful of seniors and people with disabilities. Mind your trash and keep the Tuxtla region clean.

Beautiful experience. I recommend everyone go once.. went with my family, and we just loved it.

Even in the dry season of April, the waterfall has powerful flow even if not occupying the entire width. Good roads to reach. The Sihuapan street comes straight into the village, ends in a cul-de-sac which is the car parking area and entry to the falls. There is a 15mxn per head entry fee at the top and another 5mxn closer to the fall. Plenty of eateries, souvenir shops, toilets. From the point of entry, if one walks straight across a hanging bridge, one comes to a viewpoint overlooking the top of the falls. Instead if one goes down nearly 240 steps, one reaches a short trail that takes you right upto the falls. There is a barricade so that one cannot actually touch the falls or go under but there is quite a spray. The paths are well laid out, made of stone or cenent and not muddy or slippery. After the exertion of climbing back up the steps in the heat, it was refreshing to have a “ coco frio”, a chilled tender coconut drink outside.

Short drive from Catemaco. Small fee for entrance. Yes as other reviewers have said, lots of vendors, however, they are all friendly and just trying to scrape together a living (mostly poor indigenous Mexicans). That aside it's a beautiful waterfall as seen in the Mel Gibson movie. It is also possible to walk along the riverside from the falls for a short distance.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
