numerous taller volcanic peaks. To the north, Laguna Sontecomapan occupies a large flood plain and joins the gulf at La Barra de Sontecomapan, Catemaco's
most accessible beach. Catemaco's borders the municipios San Andres Tuxtla to the west, Hueyapan de Ocampo and Soteapan to the south and Tatahuicapan
de Juarez and Mecayapan to the east. Economically Catemaco depends on a mix of tourism, cattle ranching, fishery and agriculture. Statistically the municipio
ranks as one of the poorer counties of Veracruz. One of the featured attractions of the town are the "Monkey Islands", populated by abandoned research monkeys originally imported from Thailand. Almost 100 boats compete to ferry tourists out to see these Macaque monkeys, uncared for by the locals of Catemaco and frequently starving and lacking medical care.Historically an isolated community, the city now has an international reputation for Catemaco Brujos, a local phenomena of witchcraft practitioners with commercial interests. Mel Gibson recently filmed parts of Apocalypto (2006) in the vicinity. He joined Sean Connery's Medicine Man (1992) and many others who have used the Catemaco vicinity as a backdrop or jungle scenes.

Coatzacoalcos is a major port city in the southern part of the Mexican state of Veracruz, on the Coatzacoalcos River. Coatzacoalcos
comes from an indigenous word meaning "Site of the Snake" or "Where the snake hides". The city serves as the municipal seat of the municipality
of the same name. The city is connected by road and rail to the Pacific Ocean about 160 km away. This location has prompted plans for an interoceanic waterway
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, or for a much expanded railroad system, for over a century. The city had a 2005 census population of 234,174, making it the
third-largest city in the state after Veracruz and Xalapa, but first in metropolitan population. The municipality covers a surface area of 471.16 km² (181.916 sq mi)
and reported a population of 280,263 persons. The largest community in the municipality, aside from Coatzacoalcos, is the town of Allende, with a population of
20,501. Excavations in 2008 for a tunnel bridging the Coatzacoalcos River indicate a substantial pre-hispanic population. By the time of the Spanish arrival the area
was under Mayan influence. In 1522, Hernán Cortés ordered Gonzalo de Sandoval to fund a settlement near Guazacualco. Sandoval named it Villa del Espíritu
Santo. It was elevated to the category of port in 1825 and the name changed to Coatzacoalcos. In 1900 the name was changed to Puerto México. In 1911 it was
elevated to city, and in 1936 the name was changed to the current Coatzacoalcos. Coatzacoalcos became a very important crossroads during the oil boom of the
1970s, connecting the Yucatán Peninsula and oil fields in Campeche to the rest of Mexico and to the port of Salina Cruz in Oaxaca on the Pacific coast. |

Poza Rica
Poza Rica (formally: Poza Rica de Hidalgo) is a city and
its surrounding municipality in the Mexican state of Veracruz. Its name means "rich well", because it was a place known for its abundance of oil. It has
since been almost completely extracted. This resulted in the decline of oil well exploration and drilling activities but there are many oil refineries.
It shares borders with the municipalities of Papantla, Tihuatlán, and Coatzintla, and stands on Federal Highway 180. The archaeological zone of El Tajín is located approximately 15 kilometers (9 mi) from Poza Rica. The area is intensely tropical, with two popular beaches within one hour, Tuxpan, and Tecolutla, and one within 40 minutes, Cazones. Mexico City is about 220 kilometers (137 mi) from Poza Rica. Unlike most Mexican cities, it does not have old buildings because it is a new city founded officially in November 20th 1951. For that reason it has contemporary architecture with well-lined and designed streets with a modern look. While the petroleum industry features heavily amongst the industrial landscape in Poza Rica, the city also has a wide variety of other industries. As one of the largest and most populous cities in Veracruz, Poza Rica is an important industrial and commercial center, and central hub for several road transportation lines. The city has recently seen a lot of growth, with several commercial centers opening around the city. The city had an official population of 174,512 inhabitants and the municipality had 181,438 at the census of 2005. However, the Poza Rica metropolitan area, which includes the municipalities of Papantla, Tihuatlán, and Coatzintla, showed a total population of 458,330.(Click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poza_Rica,_Veracruzfor additional information.)
Things to See and Do
Poza Rica is close to the Costa Esmeralda, the northern beaches of Veracruz, such
as Tecolutla, Tuxpan, Cazones and Playa Esmeralda and because of its hotel and metropolitan infrastructure it is convenient for staying in a comfortable city. The
UNESCO World Heritage Site of El Tajin 15 kilometers (9 mi) away. It has a downtown area which provides a good shopping experience. It has a local
famous height called "El cerro del abuelo" where it's possible to see the whole city and its "quemadores", big petroleum burners which were
used to light the city in the early years. There are few of them at the present time. Every year there is a holiday called "Desfile del 18 de marzo"
(March 18th Parade) which commemorates Mexican oil expropriation and has two beautiful parades, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It is a city with
a predominantly young population.

San Pedro Soteapan is a municipio complex within the Sierra
Santa Marta, near Catemaco and Coatzacoalcos in southeast Veracruz, southcentral Mexico. Historically the city was mentioned as a province of Coatzacoalcos
by colonial Spanish references, yet was only recognized as a Mexican municipio in 1831. The area in pre-Spanish days was an area of contention between the
Aztec empire and its southern neighbors. Further sentiments of Soteapan inhabitants led to numerous conflicts during the civil wars surrounding the defeat of the
Mexican Porfiriato dictatorship in the early 1900s. The area only recently obtained paved road access and is considered one of the most impoverished communities
in Mexico. Its population is composed of mainly Popoluca speakers, with a smitten of Nahuatl. Nevertheless, Spanish is the predominant language. Economically,
Soteapan depends on small scale agriculture and cattle ranching. Touristically the area invites visitors to several waterfalls and views of pristine mountains.

architecture of Tlacotalpan represent a fusion of Spanish and Caribbean traditions of exceptional importance and quality... Its outstanding character lies in its townscape
of wide streets, modest houses in an exuberant variety of styles and colours, and many mature trees in public and private open spaces." (UNESCO, 1998.)

military
vessels including 3
frigates named Allende, Abasolo

located outskirts of the city. The city
also serves as Mexico's second largest port,
after
Manzanillo. The port handled 16.5
million tons of cargo in 2007. The city also has railroad connections

Mexico City.
Things to See and Do
The city is known for its rich traditions of
music, including
marimba bands,
danzón and
comparsa. A special kind of music called
son jarocho, a mix of Mexican folk
music and Cuban
son, was developed in southern
Veracruz state, in and around Veracruz,
Veracruz.
La Bamba is the most famous example of
son jarocho. An equally rich dance
tradition parallels Veracruz's unique
musical styles.
In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled zócalo, called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city's lively nightlife. It is lined with arcades that house bars and cafes. On a nearly nightly basis large groups of people sit outside in the plaza enjoying food, drinks and cigars, while they watch musicians and dancers that perform in the square. Veracruz's 18th century cathedral and 17th century Palacio Municipal are also located on the plaza.
The yearly Carnaval festival in Veracruz, a nine-day party in February or March, is the most spectacular festival of its kind, and it's also the oldest organized Carnaval in Mexico. The city also celebrates a yearly Afrocaribeño festival in July. These festivities illustrate the fact that the city is in many ways more connected to Caribbean culture than that of inland Mexico.
The "Malecón" harborfront walk along the docks draws many tourists, more from within Mexico than foreigners. The city has several beaches as well, like Villa del Mar and Mocambo.

Xalapa or Jalapa is
the capital city of the
Mexican
state of
Veracruz. In the year
2005 census the city reported a
population of 387,879 and the
municipality of which it serves
as municipal seat reported a
population of 413,136. The
municipality has an area of 118.45
km². Xalapa lies near the geographic
center of the state and is the
second-largest city in the state
after the city of
Veracruz. The municipal seat of Xalapa is the city of Xalapa de Enríquez, named in honor of 19th-century Governor Juan de la Luz Enríquez. In everyday usage, however, the city is generally referred to by the shorter name Xalapa. Its name is pronounced [xaˈlapa] in Spanish and IPA: /həˈlɑːpə/ in English. It was called "La ciudad de las flores " (the City of Flowers) by Alexander Von Humboldt. Its name comes from the Nahuatl roots "Xalli" (sand) and "Apan" (water place), which approximately means "spring in the sand." This name is pronounced [ʃaˈlapan] in Nahuatl, though final [n] is often omitted in Nahuatl pronunciation; the [ʃ] sound (like English 'sh') was written 'x' in the 16th century, but does not occur in modern Spanish (but is common for place names in Mexico), and its normal counterpart is the [h] sound (IPA [x] or [h]) which is normally written 'j' in modern Spanish. The spelling Xalapa (like the word México) reflects the archaic spelling. (Click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xalapa,_Veracruz for additional information.) |
