Backpacking BY VERACRUZ

Veracruz is a municipality and the largest and most important city of the state of Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, and the central city that gives its name to the urban area known as Metropolitan Area Veracruz.2 3 Has the most important commercial seaport in Mexico . With a population of 552.156 inhabitants in 2010. It is located 90 km away from the state capital Xalapa, and 400 km away from Mexico City. Bordered on the north by the municipality of La Antigua and the Gulf of Mexico, to the south with the municipalities of Medellín and Boca del Rio, on the east by the Gulf of Mexico and to the west by the municipalities of Manlius and Sheep Pass. Its climate is warm tropical, with an average annual temperature of 25.3 ° C and an average annual rainfall of 1500 mm


As for my taste , the most beautiful beaches in Veracruz is the Emerald Coast, which includes the municipalities of Nautla , Tecolutla and Tuxpan. There are mostly small towns without major seaside tourist services, but very quiet and good food offered by locals.

Tecolutla is the place where the best hotels, but you can scroll through the various beaches in about a day. However, they are relatively quiet , which are only visited by tourists on holiday. So if you are looking for entertainment besides the beach , it would be more advisable to go to the port of
Veracruz , on the difference that its beaches are not very clean , there 's more to go towards the direction of Boca del Rio and Anton Lizardo , or towards Cardel and Chachalacas , which are not so polluted beaches like port . The advantage of port infrastructure is its great entertainment for everyone .
