Hotels in Veracruz, Mexico

Veracruz stretches along the Gulf coast of Mexico, with a humid tropical climate where temperatures hover around 75°F (24°C) year-round, famous for producing most of Mexico's vanilla and for the lively Son Jarocho folk music. In the dry winter months (November to April), you can explore the historic port of Veracruz city, watch jarocho musicians at the Zócalo, or kayak through the mangroves of Laguna Mandinga. During the wetter summer (May to October), afternoon rains cool things off and bring fewer tourists, making it a great time to visit vanilla plantations near Tlacotalpan or join the Carnaval festivities in Veracruz city every February.
