The colonial city of Oxolot n with its exquisite 17th century ex-convent of San Jos . Malpasito site dates to 250 A.D. Highlights are the area's rock carvings, a fine ball court, plazas, and lush surroundings. This little-visited, yet accessible region draws only the most desperate of beach lovers, since the nearby Yucat n has far superior conditions. Nevertheless, for a tranquil seaside village setting, uncrowded beaches, and scenic boat rides through mangrove-lined estuaries, this is the place. The most accessible beaches are at Paraiso, Lim n, and Puerto Ceiba.
Most visitors are daytrippers looking for a cool breeze before retiring to hotels in Villahermosa.
