Ixtlán del Río, Municipal seat in Nayarit, Mexico
Ixtlán del Río extends across 581.4 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with flat lands near rivers supporting agricultural activities and settlements.
The region, first entered by conquistador Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura in 1525, contains the archaeological site of Toriles featuring the temple of Quetzalcoatl.
The Regional Museum of Ixtlán displays numerous artifacts from the Toltec culture, while local celebrations include traditional fairs, rodeos, and music performances.
The municipality connects to Tepic and Guadalajara through rail systems and Highway Route 15, with an additional toll road passing through the eastern section.
The name derives from Náhuatl meaning 'place where obsidian is found,' reflecting the historical importance of this volcanic glass in regional trade networks.
