Tabasco
Although the smallest of the five Mexican states participating in the Mundo Maya project, Tabasco's diminutive size has no bearing on the diversity of its attractions
It boasts wetlands and jungles teeming with wildlife, as well as an important prehispanic heritage.
The Olmec culture considered the source from which other pre-Columbian civilizations sprang, flourished here from 900 to 400 BC. Centuries later, the ancient Maya followed.
Capture the mystery of Maya and Olmec sites such as Comalcalco, Pomoná and La Venta. A woodland museum park in the heart of Villahermosa, La Venta features colossal stone heads and other strange Olmec sculptures rescued from the ancient city of the same name when oil drilling began nearby.
The state capital of Villahermosa is an ideal base from which to explore the area.
Attractions include the Usumacinta River, Centla nature reserve and the Gulf Coast beaches near Chiltepec and Frontera The southern uplands harbor picturesque towns such as Tapijulapa and
Teapa, the Agua Blanca waterfall and the Cocona caves.
