Sites in Villahermosa

Villahermosa might not be a beautiful city, but it has some interesting sites. We visited two of them on Saturday.

The first one: Parque de la Venta - an outdoor museum of ancient stone sculptures as old as 1000 BC, having as most famous attraction an over 20 tons stone head; it also hosts a Zoo with some exotic animals.

The second one was the Yumká National Reservation, a huge area where one can experience the Tropical jungle, the savanna and lagoons. Beside the local fauna it is also the home of some imported African animals.
