Hotel Gerar

Veracruz


It may not look like much from the outside, but this is Tlachichuca's most comfortable hotel, and only marginally more expensive than the competition. The owner is helpful and the spacious, tiled rooms with satellite TV and reliable hot showers feel like heaven when you're returning from a strenuous volcano ascent.
