Visually, Santiago Tuxtla is the most attractive city in Los Tuxtlas, and possibly one of the nicer ones in Mexico.
The city nestles against the northern flanks of the extinct volcano El Vigia and provides spectacular views
from the passing highway.
Many of the city's historic buildings are preserved and its many narrow winding streets criss crossing the
Tepango River remind visitor of better known places like Taxco.
Los Tuxtlas inhabitants acknowledge Santiago Tuxtla to be its cultural capital which is reeinforced by the
many festivals scheduled throughout the year ranging from jarocho music, the dance of the Liseres, culinary
events and poetry recitals.
