Important historic sites off the beaten track - I travelled to Veracruz to specifically visit Quiahuiztlán (and Villa Rica), Cempoala and La Antigua. While the tour was in Spanish only (I could speak and understand some), I also came with some knowledge of the Indigenous past and Spanish incursion history of this area. Being present in these locations meant something to me and I appreciate the efforts of my driver and the guides in each location to help fill in the blanks. My driver was helpful and pointed out places I would've overlooked. He was my Captain for the day. The guides at each location were exceptional. They harboured their histories of the past and shared them generously with me. Gracias. The only thing I would note – because the tour requires a minimum of 2 people, I did have to pay double as I was the only person on tour. However, this was worth it for me and I believe the service received was amply given. I'd suggest you read a little about the sites before visiting to get the most from each location and to understand the footsteps that have walked here in the past.
