The best tourism in Villahermosa

Want to see some highlights of Villahermosa? Let’s go to all of them

What to do in downtown Villahermosa

In the center of the capital we can find the main square and several neighborhoods such as La Punta and La Santa Cruz. There we will be able to taste typical dishes, walk around and buy some souvenirs of the trip. We will also see the Palacio de gobierno or La casa de los azulejos.

The house of tiles at Villahermosa

It is named for the splendid ceramic decoration that adorns the entire facade of this building built between 1890 and 1915. It is also covered by sculptures with very particular stories of illustrious characters, such as Mercury or Cleopatra. It can be visited every day of the week except Monday.

Villahermosa’s main square

Like numerous plazas in different cities and towns in Mexico, it is considered by its citizens as the heart and vital part of the city. There are shows and celebrations that are part of the culture of its inhabitants. This space was designed by the Spaniard Diego de Quijada in 1564.

The Cathedral of the Lord of Tabasco of Villahermosa

Seat of the Diocese of Tabasco, it is the main religious center of the state. In the 20th century, the cathedral suffered a fire caused by the anti-religious campaign that took place at that time.

This stage promoted by Tomás Garrido led to more vandalism, closure and destruction of several churches and buildings of this type. One of the most remarkable things is the facade of the cathedral in baroque style, a trend that can also be seen in the interior of the cathedral.

The Grijalva River in Villahermosa

In addition to Grijalva River, it is also known as Tabasco or Chiapas. It is the second largest in length, 480 kilometers, and produces a large amount of hydroelectric power in the country. It flows into the Gulf of Mexico and its source is in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, in Guatemala.
