(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The Magical Town of Coscomatepec is located in the central mountainous part of the state of Veracruz. One of the charms that characterize this destination, in addition to its great cultural wealth, is its proximity to the Citlaltépetl volcano. Take a tour of the streets of Coscomatepec and discover its most emblematic buildings
One construction is from the 17th century; inside it shelters one of the three Christs of the Agony that remain in the world. For many, his face is of great beauty and the particularity of his gaze, directed towards the sky, makes him unique. Some say that it is an expression of pain, others of prayer and still others of contemplation.
The museum protects archaeological objects found by the inhabitants of Coscomatepec in the surroundings. The idea of having a space to exhibit these interesting pieces came to Sergio Alonso Estévez, a resident of Coscomatepec who was in charge of gathering the collection, forming the civil association and promoting the space. The municipal library provided the physical space where the museum's permanent collection is displayed, made up of more than 300 cataloged and documented archaeological pieces. The objects belong to the Totonac and Otomi cultures, and were made of ceramic, stone and obsidian for the most part.
