About This Tour
This package is ideal to visit the places that you should not miss in Veracruz. We will begin with a visit to the fortress of San Juan de Ulúa, which was built on the orders of Hernán Cortés, as it protected Veracruz from the pirate and corsair attacks of the time. A guide will tell you all the history and legends that the oldest prison in Mexico houses. At the end of this visit, we will go to Mandinga, where we will enjoy a boat ride through the mangrove area and we will also have time to eat delicious freshly cooked seafood in Mandinga restaurants. To finish the tour, we will visit the historic center of Veracruz aboard a traditional tram, from where we will be able to observe the most important and beautiful sites of the city.
