COLORFUL RIVERFRONT TOWN WITH A PIRATE FLAIR
The name of this town may originate from being the main site for cutting precious woods, especially log wood, whose trunks were transported through the current Palizada River to the Laguna de Términos, to be shipped to Europe from the then Villa del Carmen.
Palizada is a picturesque city where its streets and houses with four-sloped French tile roofs, along with its small alleyways, give it a magical touch. The town is framed by abundant vegetation and the beautiful Palizada River. In fact, it is located in the midst of an important hydrological area formed by the confluence of the deltas of several rivers.
This riverside town is located to the west of the state, 356 km (4 and a half hours) from the City of Campeche, 228 km (4 hours) from Ciudad del Carmen, and 183 km (2 and a half hours) from Villahermosa.
