This top-notch anthropology museum displays the diversity of Mexican cultures.
Reviewed By Gudnar - Mexico City, Mexico
If you love museums and ancient Mexican culture, this is a must visit place to you. This is a beautiful place full of hundred of diverse pieces, very well kept and protected. The most famous pieces are the giant heads found in Veracruz state. Museum is very well designed, with good illumination and enough space to walk and enjoy the collection. It is also a very quiet place with very few visitors. Despite of you can download a museum guide app for free for your mobile phone, I strongly suggest you to pay for guide service. Those guys know in deep each piece and connections among them. You can enjoy this service for a very affordable price. My 11 years son enjoyed Nestor explanations and he had the chance to ask him many questions. Guide services are available in Spanish, English and French. If your are carrying your professional camera, you have to pay an admission fee to use it. Thanks Nestor for your marvelous explanations and for allow us traveling in the past with those cultures!

We are HUITZILAPAN EXPEDICIONES, a Company formed up by a team of professional local guides, all of them with more than 15 years of experience running rivers in Veracruz and all across the Country, and even other rivers around the globe. We decided to create this Company to offer life experiences where nature, fun, adrenaline and safety come together through Whitewater Rafting and other outdoor adventure activities like canyoning, rappel and zip lines. The Huitzilapan River “the hummingbirds’ river” in Nahuatl, which runs through Jalcomulco, Veracruz, is the main destination for Whitewater Rafting in Mexico due to its quality rapids that can be run all year long. In addition, you’ll find yourself immersed in exuberant vegetation, Jalcomulco is a natural spectacle just for you.

This museum has a collection of Olmec artifacts among other things, including the remains of a real Olmec Indian skull.
Reviewed By thomassQ6285WA
In Santiago Tuxtla, right on the pleasant town square , this museum has an remarkable collection of antique olmec pieces including possibly the nicest of all known olmec stone heads . Beyond that, the museum has an eclectic set of pieces from other regions of Mexico reaching all the way to the north with nice pottery from the Casas Grandes region; this indicates taht one or more private collections must have been donated to this museum. Together with eh huge Olmec head on the town square, the nice setting and surrounding landscape, this makes for a very worth while detour on the way to or from the south and southeast!

Great naval museum, with a lot of rooms (all air conditioned) full with historic things of the Veracruz harbor and the Mexican Navy, several scale models of ships, planes, helicopters (one real), guns, uniforms, and all the naval parafernalia and traditions within a historic building. A must if you visit the city.

This building is known for being made by Gustave Eiffel himself. It was brought from Belgium and if you take a look to the joints and the steel really look like created in another time. There are various rooms with different museums inside; and the precautions for COVID are great!
