Tamuín

Tamuín is a very small town in the Huasteca region of eastern San Luis Potosi (state). It was once an important area for the Huastec culture and is home to two archaeological zones run by INAH (and some other known archaeological sites that are not open to the public).

Understand
The Tampaón River runs through Tamuín. It joins the Moctezuma River to form the Pánuco River.

Get in
Servicio Expreso Metropolitano runs hourly buses from Ciudad Valles to Tamuin. The 45-minute trip costs M$80.

A taxi from Ciudad Valles may be a better option because it is faster and can take you directly to the archaeological sites. Consider hiring a driver for several hours so you can visit both sites in one trip.

Get around
The archaeological sites are not close to town and not close to each other. You'll want to use a taxi to get around.

See
The two main archaeological sites in Tamuin are Tamohi and Tamtoc. A third site, called Tzintzin-Lujub, is frequently mentioned in relation to the Huastec history of Tamuin, however, the site is located on a privately owned ranch and is not open to the general public.
