Overview

About 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Veracruz lie the three cities of Xalapa, Coatepec and Xico — each full of Mexican history and culture that make for a great day trip from Veracruz. See beautiful examples of Spanish Colonial architecture, visit the 16th-century home of a former Mexican president, admire Baroque churches and leafy parks, and learn about the region’s coffee production. You’ll travel nearly 10,000 feet (3,050 meters) in elevation by the time you reach your final stop. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included
