Mexico's Prettiest City




We were pleasantly surprised to find that our destination, Tlacotalpan, turned out to be the prettiest town in Mexico. At least in our opinion, so far. Because of its uniqueness, the little colonial city was designated as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997. The central area is clean and colorful and every building is a bright color. And while there are several pretty hotels, there are very few tourists. The central plaza would've been a very quiet place to contemplate life, except for the birds in the palm trees which made more noise than anything else in the town!

We walked around for a few days, enjoying the sights and sounds. We were a little restless, so took a drive not far to the coast, near Catamaco, where we found paradise...
