Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
From the bus station, in the rain, I caught a taxi to Coatzacoalcos. I wanted to be in the
center of town, but in this case I'd be near the port. I asked the cabbie to suggest a hotel.
He took me to Valverde. It was reasonable, near the port where a cluster of restaurants
offered good meals and an ocean view.
Coatzacoalcos was spread out, a commercial port. Oil and cattle were principal exports.
On this rainy day I saw no reason to stay. The most attractive sight was the city bus with
a stylized Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent) logo on the side.
Expenses: Meals $21, taxis $4, bus $27, Hotel Valverde $55. Total: $107.
