The central meeting point for locals and visitors is Quintín Aráuz Central Park.
The park is a pleasant, tree-filled area with 6 fountains, accessed through archways. It also features monuments, sports courts, and playgrounds.
You can also visit the Temple of the Virgin of Guadalupe with its austere single-story facade. However, the main attraction is the incredible swamps found in this region of Tabasco.
The Centla Swamps Biosphere Reserve offers a wide range of options for eco-tourism and adventure enthusiasts. It is the largest wetland in North America and one of the 15 most important in the world.
In the reserve, you can visit the Uyototo-Ja Interpretation Center, also known as the "House of Water". The tour begins with a video that raises awareness about environmental conservation. Additionally, you can explore its four rooms where you can learn more about the functioning of the swamps and their flora and fauna.
There is a pier where you can board a boat and explore the swamps, already having a good idea of what to expect in the impressive mangroves.
Centla
The center also has a nursery that displays both local species and some brought from abroad that have adapted to the swamp conditions.
One of its attractions is a 20-meter-high tower that provides a panoramic view of the astonishing Centla Swamps and the unique convergence of two of the country's most voluminous rivers, the Usumacinta and the Grijalva, as well as the San Pedro River. This space is known as Tres Brazos, a spectacle not to be missed.
Another attraction you can visit in Centla is Punta Manglar, an ecotourism development that offers a rustic 200-meter-long trail supported by mangrove root pilings. From here, you can truly traverse the swamp and observe its amazing wonders up close. We recommend wearing a hat and insect repellent.
Centla's cuisine is another reason to visit this place, based on seafood such as crabs, bass, tilapia, and shrimp. However, you can also delight in local sausages like queso de puerto and their traditional quince-filled bread.
Try the typical beverage called "chorote," made from cooked corn and cocoa.
It is located 74 kilometers from Villahermosa.
