Getting there & around
Veracruz port has a modern international airport, with national flights to Mexico City, Monterrey, Reynosa and Villahermosa, Tampico and Poza Rica. From the US, Continental has direct flights to Tampico and Veracruz from Houston, Texas.
Frequent 1st-class buses go just about everywhere within the region and link the main cities here with Monterrey, Mexico City, Puebla and Oaxaca. The main company serving this area is ADO, with a super-deluxe fleet (UNO) and a deluxe fleet (ADO GL) as well as normal 1st-class buses. Greyhound buses run between the US and Mexico through its Mexican affiliates. Routes include Brownsville, Texas, to Tampico.
The central Gulf coast region’s highways are generally in great shape. But don’t expect to go speeding through the countryside: the ubiquitous topes (speedbumps) will make you smell the roses.
