San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz
These are ejido villages along the Gulf of Mexico at the foot of Volcano San Martin Tuxtla.

These former hunting grounds of Los Tuxtlas from the early 20th century are now heavily
deforested and turned into cattle ranches with magnificent gulf views.

Almost inaccessible until the opening of a road to Catemaco/Montepio from El Tropico/Highway 180,
near Angel R Cabada,  the region is now visitable along a pleasant paved highway, except for the
first built section near El Tropico which is now worse than the original road. (repaired 2008).
The entire area has spectacular gulf frontage with rising cliffs, a lighthouse, accessible soft beaches and even an island
paradise for sea birds.

Except during the high holidays of Mexico, when any square foot on the beach is at a premium, the entire shore is
usually desolate and astoundingly beautiful.

Tourism is just coming out of the stone age, with a few palapas serving fresh caught fish and assorted rustic shabby
shack "ecotouristic" facilities.
