The municipio of Santiago Tuxtla is both a city and county in
Los Tuxtlas, less than 100 miles north of Veracruz City, and
a half hour ride from Catemaco.
Dominated by the extinct volcano El Vigia, Santiago Tuxtla
vaguely evokes the charm of historic Taxco. Much of the
historic housing has been preserved and there are
wonderful views from many of its winding streets.

The city traces itself to the arrival of Hernan Cortes and for
three centuries dominated the economic and political landscape
of Los Tuxtlas. Still considered its cultural heart it boasts of the
Tuxteco Museum and many annual events, including the Son
de Jarocha festival, and the Dance of the Liseros.
Cattle ranching and agriculture are the focus of its economy but
it is considered one of the poorer counties of Veracruz.
Touristically it offers a 6 story center city hotel with a great
view, a few restaurants, a pretty central plaza, and frequent
performances by jarochero musicians.
