Minatitlan

Derivate from the nahuatl name, “mine place”, in honor of the revolutionist Francisco Javier Mina, the city -42 km away from Acayucan- where was during the Spanish domination a wood gathering storage for naval use, is now an important center for petrochemical.

The sight of the Coatzacoalcos River to Hidalgotitlan tour is a unique show that can see the shores and the river’s life, with its traffic of small boats dedicated to de fruit commerce and the passengers transport. After 18 km route you come to the Manati lagoon, where in November offers a sight of thousands of birds that emigrate form Canada and US.

Minatitlan gives the characteristic contrast of a accelerate development: a big city dedicated to the oil industry and, so get away from the urban surrounding and mount the river, gradually, it’s discover the old life traditions in the shores, so quite and calm like it was in the ancient times.
