FROM VILLAHERMOSA: CHOCOLATE ROUTE

Interesting tour on this aromatic route with a visit to the Hacienda de Cacao, a fascinating place full of deep-rooted customs and traditions that preserves intact its ancestral origins in the cultivation of cocoa and the elaboration of homemade and traditional chocolate; you will be able to enjoy direct contact with the cocoa plantations, admire a variety of flowers and fruit trees, ceiba trees and learn directly about the fruit and seeds of organic cocoa and the various species of animals native to the “Homeland of Cocoa”. The ruins of Comalcalco constitute a necropolis of the Mayan classic period (from the first century BC to the ninth century AD) built with bricks and oyster shell stucco. This site is considered the westernmost of the Mayan culture and was developed between 700 B.C. and 900 A.D., the most notable characteristic of Comalcalco is the use of bricks in its construction systems, this due to the null presence of stone materials in the region, in addition to being the farthest Mayan site to the west.
