Villahermosa, Capital city in southeastern Mexico
The capital of Tabasco state stands at 11 meters elevation between the Grijalva and Carrizal rivers, 50 kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico.
Spanish conquistador Diego de Quijada established the settlement as Villa Carmona in 1564, receiving royal recognition from King Philip II of Spain in 1598.
The La Venta Park-Museum exhibits an extensive collection of monumental Olmec stone heads and archaeological artifacts within natural tropical surroundings.
Carlos Rovirosa Pérez International Airport connects Villahermosa with regular flights to Mexico City, Cancun, and Veracruz, located 15 kilometers south of downtown.
The city functions as Mexico's energy capital due to petroleum operations, while maintaining traditional industries processing cacao, tobacco, and tropical hardwoods.
