Introducing Papantla

Spread over a hillside, Papantla is a friendly, commerce-oriented town that has a couple of intriguing things for a visitor beyond its traditional role of housing El Tajín–bound tourists. As the center of a vanilla-growing region, markets and shops offer vanilla-based artisan products, and the city also has beautiful murals. Don’t be surprised to see Totonacs wearing traditional clothing here – the men in loose white shirts and trousers, women in embroidered blouses and quechquémitls (traditional capes).
