Tamaulipas

Here, nature is nurtured and so are you.

Nowhere is the more recent history of Mexico on grand display than in the diverse state of Tamaulipas. From the 19th century Holy Child Temple, built by renowned Italian architect Mateo Mattei to the early 20th century railway station in Nuevo Laredo, examples of Mexico’s rich heritage are scattered all over this prosperous Northeastern state. Explore the 284,000-acre biosphere reserve of El Cielo, among the Sierra Madre mountains. Here eco-tourism comes alive with kayaking, rappelling, mountain biking and camping. After a few days communing with nature, make your way back to the urban centers of Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros and Reynosa for eclectic dining and limitless nightlife. And when you’re ready to set off on another adventure, horseback riding, spelunking and even countless hours spent on the pristine beaches will make for a lifetime of memories.
