A small section along the Gulf is integrated with the Los Tuxtlas Biosphere.
Finds from a pre-hispanic settlement at El Mesón are displayed on the town square,
including a stela inscribed with one of the oldest dates in the hemisphere.
Geographically, the 2 small rivers of Canes and Tecolapan cross the terrain. Laguna Mahajual near the coast
