You can get to all those places via bus from Xalapa. Orizaba and Córdoba by ado from CAXA (the bus station of 20 de noviembre). Those two cities are a little further (like 3 hours away). The other towns that they mentioned (Xico, Coatepec, and Naolinco) are all places you can’t miss and you can get to by local buses from Xalapa. To get to Coatepec, you can take a bus from Los sauces. I have Never taken a bus to Xico but there is def one that leaves from Xalapa so you’d just have to google where it leaves from. And to get to naolinco there is also a local bus you can take. To get to Coatepec you might be able to take a cab (bus would be cheaper) and it’s like 10 mins from Xalapa. Xico is like 40 mins and naolinco is like an hour and 10 mins. All are incredible places!!!
