Santiago Tuxtla

Santiago Tuxtla is a municipality in southeastern Veracruz that comprises numerous small communities spread across a varied landscape. The region features agricultural lands, forests, and rolling terrain typical of this part of Mexico.

The area was established during the early colonial period and gradually developed into an organized municipality. Over centuries, local communities built the economic and cultural foundation of the region.

The municipality celebrates its annual fair from July 19 to 27, featuring traditional Jarocho dance competitions and the coronation of a festival queen.

The best time to visit is during the drier months when roads are in better condition and exploring is easier. The region is crisscrossed by various routes, so flexible travel planning works best.

The Silent Procession, commemorating the cholera epidemic of 1833, traverses the main streets during Holy Thursday and Good Friday each year.
