Welcome to Veracruz.
Welcome to Veracruz.
 Welcome to Veracruz.
The state of Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, was found on
december 22, 1823.
Veracruz involves a large land of irregular borders, delimited
by the sea and mountains. The natural beauty of the state,
biodiversity, archealogical sites, colonial cities and specially,
the happiness and kindness of the Jarochos, are their better
assets.
Veracruz is well known because its big diversity of beaches
located to all the state converging in a total of 24, some of
them are: Tuxpan, Costa Esmeralda; San Antoln and Boca del
Ro. Besides the beaches, the state offers beatiful waterfalls,
like Texolo, located in Teocelo and El Salto de Eyipantla,
located close to San Andrs Tuxtla.
Xalapa, Veracruz.
 Located on the limit of the Macuiltpetl volcano, at 350 km from Mexico
City and sorrounded by The Fog Forest, the capital of Veracruz is a
unforgetable place, Xalapa de Enriquez (official name) is covered by a
perpetual breeze, that makes a magical and mystic environment that had
inspired a lot of legends between the local people, they experience
everyday the unique charm of Xalapa meanwhile you explore the tricky
alleys and historical monuments.
Xalapa is well known in Mexico as the Atenas Veracruzana, it is clearly a
college city. On the Heart of its cultural life you found the Universidad
Veracruzana.
A trip along the vibrant and tight alleys of the city it is a pleasure no only to
the sight, but the smell of high quality coffee produced here can be
percibed all day on The City of Flowers, along with the sweet melodies of
urban musicians.

Message from the Chair.
Stephanie Denisse Garca Segura
I want to thank all the IFMSA Mexico for opening me the
chances to new oportunities, ideas and perspectives that
helped me to have a better vision about the career that I
live on daily bases, because being a physician goes beyond
our knowledge and abilities that can be provided to us.
Being a physician, implies and takes a personal and
subjective aspect that schools and facultries of medicine do
not teach us, that is why I want to contribute to this
initiative of building young entrepenours and leaders on
health, hoping that this will be a grateful event and that will
be helpful to everybodys developement.

You can count with AMEXA whenever

you need. Here in Xalapa, Veracruz you
have a home whenever you want it.
Be all very Welcome!
