Introducing Northern Veracruz State
The northern half of Veracruz state, between the coast and southern fringes of the Sierra Madre Oriental, mainly consists of lush rolling pastureland. Laguna de Tamiahua claims the region’s largest wetland, while the Gulf has some fine isolated (sometimes polluted) sandy beaches. The major archaeological attraction is El Tajín.
