Veracruz is Mexico’s best kept secret.

Look in the guide books. Check Mexico sites on the internet. Less is written, less can be found, about Veracruz than any other part of Mexico.

Everyone has a theory, but no one really knows why.

• It’s hot some say.
  • But it’s far hotter in the Yucatan, in Cancun, at Playa del Carmen, at Chichen Itza, and more.
• There are hurricanes.
  • True, Veracruz is on the Gulf coast and hurricanes exist, but the storms come ashore weakened and there’s little damage. An hour's bus ride has you far enough away and up high enough that you're totally out of danger.
• The beaches aren’t white.
  • Yes, the chemical composition results in beaches of light brown sand. It’s just as clean as white sand. The grains are simply a slightly different color.

So why is there so little written about Veracruz? Why can so little be found about Veracruz?
         No one really knows.

But here's what we do know. Who wins big?
         You do!

When you come to Veracruz, you come to Mexico.
