Paraíso is a city of 26,000 people (2020) in Tabasco on the Gulf of Mexico. Much of the area is traditionally dedicated to fishing and agriculture. Today, it is also an oil-producing area with the mostly oil-dedicated port of Dos Bocas. There is also some tourism connected to the area's beaches and natural attractions, and the area is promoted under the state's Cacao Route tourism program.

The church of San Marcos is one of the most beautiful. This church is part of the most emblematic that exist in the state of Tabasco. Neoclassical style although it is a little transformed, it took on the characteristic tints of the region as cream, red, blue and white to give you.
This seaside restaurant, built on a deck over Laguna Mecoacán, specializes in seafood and serves up big portions and ambience. Try the camarones empanizados (breaded shrimp) or the pescado a la diabla (spicy fish).
Homemade traditional Mexican dishes. Recommend breakfast with the huevos motuleños.
