How to Get to El Tajin

El Tajin is the closest major archeological site to Texas.

You can get there by:

Car or Bus:
From Matamoros Mexico/Brownsville Texas:  go south on highway 180 to Papantla Veracruz.
Plane:
Fly to Mexico City or Veracruz (city) and take a bus to Papantla.

Papantla to El Tajin

There should be several buses a day from Papantla to El Tajin. When you get off of the bus at El Tajin, be sure to check where to catch the bus to get back to Papantla (I didn't, it was a long trip!).


The path from the museum to the site.

Check the latest guide books for the hotels and restaurants in Papantla.

There was a good place to eat at the site.
