About Villahermosa

Villahermosa is the capital of Tabasco, a hot, green river city in south-east Mexico known for its Olmec stone heads and cacao-growing countryside.

Villahermosa sits on the Grijalva River in the Gulf lowlands of south-east Mexico, about 140 km north of San Cristóbal de las Casas. Hot and humid, the city is thick with greenery. Its best-known sight is La Venta Museum Park, a shaded park beside a lagoon where huge Olmec carved heads and altars, brought here from the archaeological site of La Venta in the 1950s, stand among the trees. The Carlos Pellicer Regional Museum of Anthropology shows more Olmec and Maya pieces.
