Tabasco is a state in Mexico. Its capital is Villahermosa.
Tabasco is bordered by the Mexican states of Veracruz to the west, Chiapas to the south, and Campeche to the north-east. To the east Tabasco borders with the Petén department of Guatemala, and to the north is the Gulf of Mexico. Tabasco is in the northern half of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Cities in Tabasco include: Ciudad Pemex, Cardenas, Emiliano Zapata, Macuspana, San Miguel, Tenosique, and Tortuguero.
Municipalities
Tabasco is subdivided into 17 municipios (municipalities) in 4 zones: The Chontalpa, the Center, the Sierra, and the River. See Municipalities of Tabasco.
Spanish
In Tabasco and Veracruz, unlike the rest of Mexico, the accent is considered Caribbean Spanish, partly due to the heavy Cuban influence.

Some of its major rivers are the Grijalva and the Usumacinta, which run through the Tabasco Plain. The Tabasco plain is a coastal plain, with heavy rainfall, and covered in rainforest.
Tourist attractions
Tourist attractions include, along with many others, the Olmec ruins of La Venta, and the Mayan ruins of Comalcalco.
