The open road is calling, and Banderilla is a terrific base to kick-start your Xalapa adventure. Situated 4 miles from downtown, the first thing you’ll need to pick up is the key to one our reliable rental vehicles. A full-size car will take you around Xalapa in total comfort and style — or perhaps you want to steer off the beaten track and discover hidden gems with a rugged four-wheel drive. For zipping around the city, we’d suggest going with a compact ride. They might not be as roomy, but they’ll be wonderful at gliding into those tiny parking lots.
