Parque de los Tecajetes

Reviewed By Josue2701 - Albuquerque, United States

Large enough to spend the afternoon, small enough to jot get lost. Water and flowers everywhere! Bridges, animals, life. We loved this park, definitely one of Xalapa's highlights. Hope to return one of these days.

Alameda Francisco Gabilondo Soler Cri Cri

This is the main park o the city, which still preserves the tradition of a colonial city that gives Orizaba the name of a Magic Town. While you are here come to work out, ride a bike, walk its gardens and take a minute to relax under one of its hundreds of leafy trees.
