Things to do in Papantla

  1. Museo de la Ciudad Teodoro Cano

    The city’s brand-new little Museo de la Ciudad Teodoro Cano displays traditional clothing, Totonac artifacts, snippets about Papantla’s history, and paintings by artists, including Teodoro Cano. It’s a short but worthwhile stop.

  2. Restaurant Totonaca

    This air-conditioned hotel bar-restaurant aims to be a step fancier and has an extensive menu. There’s also a short wine list (M$80 to M$100), and it serves cocktails made with locally produced vanilla extract.

  3. Plaza Pardo

    Eating enchiladas with a cold beer at a balcony table over the zócalo is the best way to enjoy a dying afternoon in Papantla. It has steaks (M$140) for the carnivorously inclined.

  4. Casa de la Cultura

    The Casa de la Cultura hosts art classes and a display of local art work on the top floor. If you’re lucky, you’ll run into Maestro Teodoro Cano painting.
