Why Orizaba

it's the best keep secret place of Mexico

Not a resort. Not a cliché. Just the Real Mexico.

Welcome to Orizaba, Veracruz, a Pueblo Mágico hidden in the mountains, where life flows slower, people greet you by name, and every street tells a story.

Here, you’ll find what most travelers never do: authentic Mexico, safe, beautiful, and deeply human.
This is where Malinche was born — and where Spanish stops being a subject, and becomes a way of life.
