This is a nice place to visit, it used to be a very famous prison, is the Mexican version of Alcatraz. 4 Mexican Presidents were in this jail. Has a lot of history. It was very hard for prisoners to escape, but there were some that were able to do so. You have to visit if you go to Veracruz!!

The archeological site El Tajin is easily reached from either Posa Rica as Papantla by public transportation, or by the so called collectivos and taxis. A bus costs M$15 one way, a collectivo M$20. Last bus back to Papantla is around 7:30 pm and takes 15 minutes. Catch bus adjacent to the Pemex gas station. It is a 20 minute walk from the bus stop to the entrance. Vendors sell water, snacks and souvenirs. Entrance fee is N$70. The site is wonderful with many benches to sit down and look at the beautiful buildings, carvings and to just ponder. You will need at least two hours to walk the area. It is hot, so take your time. The small museum has a model of the site and some interesting relics and carvings In the middle of the site, a handful vendors sell snacks and drinks. Many small stalls bordering the parking lot sell food and drinks. Unfortunately the only bathroom at the entrance was out of water and therefore out of order. One could use a less clean bathroom at one of the stalls. Good for a splendid half day visit.

It was a rainy night but we found a great spot in a restaurant just beside the building, a lot of joy and energy from the music and images, I just saw a similar one in Campeche City but this one was great since I was able to enjoy it undercover and with a beer in the hand 100% recommended

Huge building that was built to house “The National Highschool College of Orizaba” (Colegio Nacional Preparatorio de Orizaba), the style of the building belongs to the French Renaissance of the early 20th Century. You can find in here a Mural painted by the artist Jose Clemente Orozco named “Reconstruction” or “Social Revolution”, the only art piece he made in the State of Veracruz. You can also find the Metropolitan Museum and the “Palace” Picture Gallery.

Make sure you visit this place with a good tour guide not just get someone to drive you there. This place and it's surrounds is full of so much history.
