Get to know Aquismón

While walking through the streets of the town, you will find the main plaza, where the monument to the Madre Huasteca is, represented by the tének women. In the garden there is a crafts corridor for you to buy handkerchiefs, carpets and the emblematic quexquemetl, a blouse that can be transformed into a coat for covering the totso. It can take a whole day to make it.

 

Its legacy is also in the gastronomy of this Pueblo Mágico of Aquismón. You can try the enchiladas huastecas with meat, beans bocolitos, sesame atole and coffee which is harvested in this very region.

 

Humid and hot weather is a characteristic of the municipality. We recommend you to have a refreshing pozo, a beverage made with cacao, corn, water and sugar. After a healthy dinner or lunch, you can walk around until you get to the San Miguel Arcángel parish, built over an antique prehispanic temple.

 

Aquismón es is a Magical Town also for its natural wonders. Just some minutes from the Municipality, you will find the Tamul waterfall with a 105 meters in height. You can find natural basements like the Golondrinas, the sixth deepest natural hole in the planet. Also, the natural pools from the Tambaque and the Cuevas of Mantetzulel's spring are a place you should explore. You can even practice rappel here.

 

How do you get to Aquismón? From Mexico City you can catch special bus to Ciudad Valles or Xilitla. It takes about 7 hours to get there. Once you get to any of these two places, arriving at the Pueblo Mágico will take you 1 hour.
