A worthy day trip from Xalapa, Naolinco is a 33km drive north of the city. Apart from its ParroquÃa San Mateo, it has a viewpoint overlooking the waterfall just south of the village, and its artesanos (craftsmen) are renowned for their leatherwork and for making colorful masks used during various celebrations. Naolinco is also one of the more atmospheric places to see the DÃa de los Muertos celebrations in Veracruz. Take a 2nd-class bus (M$30, 1¼ hours).
