In 1988, the ancient Village of Boca del Rio became worthy of being considered a “city”, upgrading tourist services to a competitive level and placing itself as a destination with high potential in Veracruz State. Boca del Rio is a settlement located in the central part of the state, known as Llanuras de Sotavento; it accounts oil fields and natural gas resources, hence the constant development of the city. With warm weather almost throughout all year round, framed by tropical forest, the beach nearby and modern hotel infrastructure, all these aspects propel it into one of the favorite destinations in Veracruz.
Boca del Rio looks forward welcoming visitors in ideal beaches for entertainment and rest. One of the most traditional ones is Mocambo Beach, where the romantic horse back ride activity is practiced all over the beach shores; Santa Ana Beach is a place that hosts a traditional celebration intended to honor the Fishermen Saint; you may tour the Jamapa River on a boat while admiring the fauna and flora as well as the Estero District best known as “The small Venetia of Veracruz” since all of its rustic houses lead to the river; and the Sacrificios Island, the largest one facing Boca del Rio makes the scuba diving activity very popular due to the fact that the area in between the island and coast stands as a home of one of the most beautiful shoals in the world.
Official records state that the municipality accounts over 4,000 trade establishments that go from clothing and shoe stores to retail stores, resulting in an attractive shopping place. Some interesting shopping centers include Plaza Americas, Plaza Boca de Rio, Plaza Santa Ana and Plaza Mocambo: or might as well, you may visit the traditional Tianguis (street market) with features that may vary from Mexican dishes to souvenirs. Art Crafts such as jewelry with emeralds and pearls, sea items made off coral, shells, natural coconut and wood can also be found all over this destination.
Over 2,000 accommodations are the sum of dozens of hotels established in the hotel zone and other areas. Some hotels offer high scale services such as private beach, fine restaurants, gym, exclusive shops and spas. Dare travelling to a place full of joy and vitality, set up for fun and rest while you are being taken care by the unique warmth of Boca del Rio.
