Mexico Real Estate: Why Invest in the State of Tabasco?
When the name of the State of Tabasco is mentioned, the first response is often related to the tremendous floods that occurred there in 2007. Those were due to human error and, given a little time, the problem should soon be rectified. Once past that issue, what is it that would cause anyone to want to invest in real estate in Tabasco?
Villahermosa is the largest city in the State of Tabasco. It is an old colonial city, billed as the Emerald of the Southeast. Here is where tourists can enjoy everything from art galleries to professional sports. Public buildings are neo-classical and churches are from the 16th century. The parks, plazas, and urban lagoons are particularly nice in Villahermosa. This more than makes up for the fact that an American fast food culture seems to have taken over in the parts of downtown that are along the main highway. But this state is far more than just its capital.
Kolem jaa’ is located just 95 km south of Villahermosa. This is eco-tourism, complete with wildlife and waterfalls, meets extreme sports. This is the perfect location for those who live to rappel and want to view the world from a platform in the canopy of the jungle. Visit the Kilem jaa’ website to see all that they have to offer. The entire area around Kolem jaa’ is ready to be developed for eco-tourism and adventure tourism, so now is the time for investors to get on the scene in a hurry.
Between Kolem jaa’ and Villahermosa lies the Yumka, a nature conservatory, where animals roam free while people watch from safety. Yumka is one of the most diverse nature conservatories in the world and has a long list of resident species, in wooded areas, savannahs, and lagoons. As with almost all of Mexico, the emphasis here is on the recreational needs of families.
Explore the different Tourist Routes in Tabasco to get an idea of where best to spend your real estate investment dollars. The Ruta Pantanos is home to the most important bio-reserve in North America, the Reserva de la Biosfera Pantanos de Centla. This is where you will find crocodiles, manatees, turtles, and many species that are in danger of extinction. The Olmeca-Zoque is home to the Magical Triangle, which is the archaeological crossroads of three civilizations, La Venta (Olmeca), Malpasito (zoque) and Comalcalco (Maya). In addition, this area is a wonderland of rivers, lakes and waterfalls. Birdwatchers would do well to look in this area for both vacations and retirement. If white water, mountains and caves are your cup of tea, the Selva Route is your very own paradise. Expect this area to develop for adventure and “extreme” tourism in the very near future. The Ruta Rios is a sport fisherman’s dream with pyramids addes for decoration. They have a little white water there too, so adventure tourism is also an option. The Ruta Cacao is where you will find the artisans, especially those who make baskets and hats from palm fronds. This is a great place for those who are interested in starting a little export business of their own. The Ruta Biji Yokot’ An is where the fishermen live and their focus is toward the sea. Here, you can enjoy seafood with a Creole flavor and take a boat tour to see the crocodiles.
Overall, the entire State of Tabasco has been overlooked and that means that it is still affordable. This state of affairs will not last long, as more and more investors arrive with an eye to developing family style eco-tourism, as well as adventure tourism and extreme sports tourism. Tabasco is a small state and the wide, new ribbons of highways have a tendency to zip travelers right through it. Take a little time and explore this too often unnoticed jewel on the southeastern coast of Mexico.
