La Magdalena was one of the first and major deforestation schemes in Los Tuxtlas. In the
1960's the Mexican government provided land grants to impoverished peasants mostly from
Puebla, who arrived and converted the jungle into pastures and maize fields. Soon they were
followed by thousands of others to numerous other locales in Los Tuxtlas. At present the area
is a hilly wasteland barely supporting straggling cattle.
The town is the crossing points for the roads to Soteapan, Catemaco and Highway 180 via
Barossa.
