| Bienvenidos to the area of Los Tuxtlas |
| Los Tuxtlas appear like a volcanic island on the coastal dunes of Veracruz, enclosed by two major rivers and the Gulf of Mexico. Now a small land bridge connects this mystic land to the towering Sierra Madre. |
| Catemaco is both a city and a county and the geographic and spiritual heart of Los Tuxtlas and also its touristic capital. Although officially founded in 1780, archaeological finds indicate occupation thousands of years before then. |
| Laguna Catemaco has often been described as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Surrounded by the foothills of both Volcano San Martin Tuxla and the Sierra Santa Marta, its vistas at times will leave you breathless. |
| Laguna Sontecomapan separates the two major volcanoes and invites visitors to explore endangered mangroves, isolated beaches and excellent seafood. |
| Home of chaneques, towering volcanoes, mystic lakes and the oldest civilization in Mesoamerica. |

| San AndrésTuxtla The economic heart of Los Tuxtlas invites tourists to visit most Mexican banks, cigar factories, miles of unspoiled beaches, a giant waterfall and a smittering of museums. |
| Santiago Tuxtla This small provincial town is one of the most historical in Mexico. Hernan Cortes founded a sugar plantation near here a few years after his conquest. In addition the Olmecs settled its surroundings several thousand years before him. |
