Tamaulipas is a northeastern Mexican border state stretching along the Gulf of Mexico coast to the US border at Texas. It holds the historic Gulf port city of Tampico, the twin-city border crossings of Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, and Matamoros, and the Sierra de Tamaulipas mountains. The state carries a U.S. State Department Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory due to sustained cartel activity, and independent travel here requires a fundamentally different approach than most Mexican destinations covered on this site.
