    1. 1 Parish of Santiago Apóstol in Teapa, Tabasco

      Teapa

      Teapa is one of the oldest towns in Tabasco, set in the foothills of the state's southern sierra beside the stony river that gave it its name. It grew from two Zoque villages, Teapan and Tecomaxiacan, and still has colonial churches whose walls were built with river stones in the early 1700s. Officially titled a Heroic town, it served three times as provisional capital of Tabasco, and it makes a good base for the rivers and hills of the Tabasco highlands.

    2. 2 White church of Santiago Apóstol above Tapijulapa's red-tiled roofs and the Sierra de Tabasco

      Tapijulapa

      Tapijulapa is a village in the Tabasco highlands where the green waters of the Oxolotán and Amatán rivers meet. Its cobbled streets are lined with white houses, red tile roofs and flowerpots, and the 17th-century church of Santiago Apóstol looks over everything from a hilltop. Visitors swim in the rivers, take a short boat ride to Villa Luz for its waterfalls, sulfur pools and cave, ride the zip line over the river, and visit the Kolem Jaa ecotourism park.

      When to go: Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec

    3. 3 Neo-Gothic parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in Frontera, Tabasco

      Frontera

      Frontera is a river port in Tabasco, 78 kilometers northeast of Villahermosa, close to where the Grijalva River meets the Gulf of Mexico. It is the state's main fishing center, known for shrimp, snook and mojarra, and the long Frontera bridge carries the coastal highway toward Ciudad del Carmen across the river. People come for the seafood, the river and coastal scenery, and the history of the first encounters between the Maya Chontal and the Spanish.

      When to go: Jan, Feb, Nov, Dec
