From Veracruz: Discover the History of the Conquest
In this tour we will take you to know the most interesting archaeological sites near the Port of Veracruz and with a lot of history still to be discovered. One of them is Quiahuiztlán, whose name means "place of rain", which refers to the natural structure on top of the hill of the Metates, which resembles petrified rain in the basaltic rock. It was at the same time city, cemetery and fortress. In addition, we will appreciate the archaeological zone considered as the Capital of the Totonac Empire, Cempoala, one of the most important archaeological sites in the center of the state. Where we will learn about the rituals that took place in the pre-Hispanic era and the meeting between two cultures. Then, in the town of La Antigua, which is known to be the previous location of the port of Veracruz, we will visit the vestiges of Cortés's house as well as the Ermita del Rosario, the first Catholic chapel in Mexico.
