Boca del Río, Coastal municipality in Veracruz, Mexico
The city extends along the Gulf of Mexico coastline where the Jamapa River meets the ocean, creating a natural harbor for maritime activities.
The region changed from Olmec control between 1000-1200 BCE to Aztec rule in 1474, with the first Christian ceremonies conducted in 1518.
The annual Bocafest in June presents musical performances while the Feast of Saint Ann from July 24 to 31 includes religious processions.
The World Trade Center Veracruz hosts business conferences and cultural events, supporting the commercial development of the metropolitan area.
Two museums enrich the city: one dedicated to poet Agustín Lara and another located inside a decommissioned military vessel.
