Las Flores Pyramid
Small and often overlooked temple built by the Huastec culture around 1200 BC. The site is administered by INAH but there is no site museum, nothing to see other than the ancient pyramid, and minimal interpretive signage.

Tampico's Central Park. Don't bother bringing your bathing suit... the lagoon is full of crocodiles! They're easy to spot from the shore; you won't be disappointed.
Antiguo Hospital Civil De Tampico
A majestic hospital that was abandoned in the 1980s and now is eerily overgrown with trees and weeds. Although not strictly legal, you can explore it, and in fact you may be invited to do so by the on-site restoration workers. There are great views of the city at the top, but be careful! This is an abandoned building with potentially fatal falls. You are at your own risk.
