Connections for Tlacotalpan

The Historic Monuments Zone of Tlacotalpan represents the townscape of a Spanish colonial river port.
The buildings are mostly single-storey and in Caribbean style, with exuberant use of colour. The town was laid out in the checkerboard style with many open spaces and trees. It contained separate quarters for the Spanish and natives.
Community Perspective: Nowadays it’s a sleepy backwater and you will mostly remember the long sugar cane "tractor trains" on the road while getting there. Clyde recommends doing a riverboat trip.
