Villahermosa is the capital of Tabasco in southeastern Mexico, on the Grijalva river in low, hot, wet country. The centre sits along the river, with a modern commercial district and a compact older core.
La Venta park museum displays colossal Olmec stone heads and altars moved here from their original site, set in a lakeside park, and is the city's outstanding attraction. The Tabasco museum of anthropology and the surrounding wetlands and rivers are the other draws, and the Maya site of Palenque lies within reach to the southeast.
Taxis and colectivos cover the city, and the riverfront and the park museum are walkable in parts. A car is useful for the wetlands and for the drive to Palenque.
The drier, cooler months from late autumn to spring are much the most comfortable. Tabasco is among the wettest states in Mexico and the rainy season brings serious flooding.
Mexico uses the MXN, calling code +52.
Mexico uses the peso, and Spanish is the language with limited English. Greetings precede business, and cards are accepted in the city though cash helps elsewhere.
