Without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in Mexico. A coastal port near the Gulf of Mexico coast, it shows a mixture of Caribbean and Spanish customs. Its constructions do not have the classic viceregal style.

Due to its unique urban structure and the architecture present in all its historical monuments and because despite the weather it has maintained the rich vernacular interpretation of the neoclassical style in its buildings dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Tlacotalpan was inscribed on the World Heritage List on 2 December 1998.
