Coatzacoalcos
Port city on the Gulf of Mexico coast in southern Veracruz, Coatzacoalcos sits at the mouth of the river that shares its name — a Nahuatl word meaning "refuge of the serpent," tied to a legend that Quetzalcóatl departed from this shore in 947 CE. Primarily an industrial and petrochemical hub, it functions mainly as a transit point between central Mexico, the Yucatán, and Central America rather than a conventional tourist destination.
