Actopan, Administrative division in Hidalgo, Mexico
Actopan occupies a central position in Hidalgo state, extending across the Mezquital Valley region at an elevation of 2,000 meters above sea level.
The territory underwent multiple transformations, from Otomi settlement to Tepanec control, until its formal establishment as a village in 1575 under Spanish administration.
The Church of San Nicolas de Tolentino displays Gothic and Plateresque architectural elements, with interior murals depicting religious and native Mexican motifs.
The municipal area connects to Mexico City through a 120-kilometer road network, while maintaining direct access to Pachuca de Soto at 37 kilometers distance.
Local agricultural production focuses on specific crops adapted to the semi-arid climate, supporting traditional food preparation methods for barbacoa and ximbo dishes.
