This weekend, MotoFest 2026 becomes an opportunity to discover the various attractions offered by Tecolutla and other destinations in northern Veracruz.
Without leaving the municipality, visitors can enjoy a day by the sea at Barra de Tecolutla or explore Costa Esmeralda and Casitas, three alternatives for relaxing and enjoying the landscapes of this coastal area.
The Ciénagas del Fuerte offer a community-based experience and the opportunity to navigate through mangroves while observing the local flora and fauna. This offering is complemented by the Vida Milenaria Sea Turtle Camp, dedicated to the protection and conservation of sea turtles.
A stay also provides an opportunity to enjoy delicious cuisine, with fish and seafood featured in various dishes that are part of the culinary identity of this destination.
Very close by is the Magical Town of Papantla, the only one in the state with three UNESCO World Heritage recognitions. Walking through its streets, visiting the Volador Monument, and admiring the Mural Tribute to Totonac Culture are some options for getting closer to its traditions.
The journey can continue through Gutiérrez Zamora, a town historically linked to the cultivation and trade of vanilla, one of the most representative aromas of the Totonacapan region.
For those looking to enjoy the coast even more, Cazones de Herrera offers beaches such as Chaparrales, Playa Norte, Playa Sur, Playa Azul, and Playa Boquilla, ideal for enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings.
Another alternative is Zozocolco, a Magical Town where nature and tradition come together. Its surroundings allow visitors to hike to sites such as Poza del Diablo and La Junta, while a tour of its downtown area offers the chance to discover the architecture of its parish church and the essence of this mountain community.
The visit can also be extended to Poza Rica, a city closely linked to the history of the oil industry. In its downtown area are the Municipal Palace and a mural by artist Pablo O’Higgins.
For those who have more time and want to add adventure to their trip, Tlapacoyan offers rivers, waterfalls, and natural landscapes for activities such as whitewater kayaking, an alternative that provides a dose of adrenaline and contact with nature.
