Situated next to one of the largest lakes in Mexico (7 miles across), the town of Catemaco is located only 100 miles south of  the historic city of Veracruz in the state of Veracruz. Look on a map of Mexico and you will find this long slender state on the eastern border adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico.

Catemaco gives you the warmth and lush greenery of the tropics, a beautiful lake surrounded by cone-shaped hills, hidden waterfalls up in the tropical jungle, and only a short ride from beautiful unspoiled (and sometimes unpopulated) beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Add the warm smiles of the locals (Veracruzanos) and you truly have a tropical hide-a-way. You will want to return again and again.

If you are looking for traffic congestion, huge crowds of tourists, McDonald's fast food places, Hilton's and Holiday Inns . . .  then you should go to Cancun.

Here in Catemaco, there are absolutely no franchises!

You may even find yourself as one of the few foreigners walking around town. If you like a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, Catemaco is the place to be.  If you like sitting at an outdoor cafe enjoying a cup of coffee or having a cold cerveza and just experiencing “manaña time,” Catemaco is your destination. How about a relaxing boat ride in the warm tropics aboard a comfortable pontoon boat just soaking up the sun and enjoying the day.

A handful of folks from the United States liked it so much here that they made this Mexican oasis their home. Hey, you never know. This could be your retirement paradise.   Look no further!

The adventurous type will like to go exploring in the nearby jungles, swim in crystal clear pools below mesmerizing tropical waterfalls, kayak to see an island full of howler monkeys, bike ride to take in beautiful lake vistas, participate in an ancient temazcal spiritual cleansing ritual, and horseback ride along the Gulf of Mexico.
