Tuxpan Municipality

Túxpan Municipality is an administrative division in Veracruz that encompasses coastal regions and inland areas connected to the Gulf of Mexico through waterways. The territory includes various communities and settlements scattered across diverse landscapes.

The territory was originally home to the Huastec people, an indigenous group with deep roots in the region. Over time, the area took on its current administrative form under the name Túxpam de Rodríguez Cano.

The communities here are shaped by their connection to the sea, with fishing and seafood preparation woven into daily routines. These practices define how the towns look and function along the water.

The area is best explored by taking time to visit both coastal and inland regions within the municipality. The main town centers offer good starting points to understand the area and its communities.

The territory unusually blends maritime commerce with agricultural production, creating a rare mix of different ways of life within one region. Visitors can find fishing communities and farming areas existing side by side in this compact space.
