How to get there
From Mexico City by air about 3/4 hour; by rail via San Luis Potosí; by bus about 10 hours.
The city of Tampico lies on the north bank of the Río Pánuco and, after Veracruz, is the most important port on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It originally grew up as an oil and cotton port but today it is a well-equipped and busy trans-shipment port for goods from all over the U.S., Europe and South America. The overall appearance of the city and its surroundings is determined by its oil tanks and refineries, bustling port, river estuaries, lagoons and beaches.
