Major Rivers of Los Tuxtlas
Rio Grande de Catemaco
Complete description of the of the beginnings of the Rio Grande de Catemaco is now at:
tuxtlas.com: Rio Grande de Catemaco
Laguna Catemaco´s only outlet is the Rio Grande.
Whether the Rio Grande is called "de Catemaco" or "de San Andres" seems to be up for grabs.
In my personal experience, people downriver refer to it as "de Catemaco". Many maps read
otherwise. People from San Andres apparently prefer Rio Comoapan. HA!
Also questionable is whether Rio Huyeapan runs into Rio Grande or vice versa. Since I´m a
Catemaco provincial at present, I stick with Catemaco´s river to its merger with Rio San Juan.
Assorted rios drain into the Rio Grande, including San Andres Tuxtla´s Tajalete and Santiago
Tuxtla´s Tepango river.
The Eqypantla's waterfall effectively stoppers up the Rio Grande, and preserves the endemic
fish species in Laguna Catemaco and above. (Last I heard there were no 30 meter jumping fish
in Los Tuxtlas).
