🇲🇽 ORIZABA, VERACRUZ - Yes, I hated it! Ok, before you start with the whole 'everything in Mexico is perfect' garbage, remember that we don't have to like everywhere we visit. Plus, it helps if you're not tired and in a bad mood. LOL. I've been to countless Pueblos Magicos over the years but never really been confronted with Mexico's version of cheap and tacky family tourism, until now!
Plastic flamingoes, animals in cages, overpriced everything, 4 hour waits for attractions, and a town which really wasn't magic at all. Why is Orizaba a Magic Town? I much preferred CORDOBA!
I went on a little weekend trip from Mexico City (CDMX) and was staying in Cordoba for the weekend. I was hoping to find somewhere with some awesome Mexican food (everything was closed) and to go up on a Teleferico (good luck), but was confronted by crocodiles and cheap and tacky tourism not indicative of other magic towns.
In summary, touristic places are not my cup of tea. Give me a gritty city with no tourism or an abandoned building- that's my idea of travel. But saying that, if it's your first Mexico trip or you are planning to move to Mexico and have never been before, Orizaba does offer you a good introduction to Pueblos Magicos.
