We wish to thank Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for some of the information on this web page. We share images & information with Wikipedia. The city of Santiago Tuxtla is located in the Mexican state of Veracruz; in a valley between Cerro El Vigia, and the slopes of Volcano San Martin Tuxtla, on the edge of the Rio Tepango.
Santiago Tuxtla has a very nice, but small, community museum. It has several Olmec artifacts as well as artifacts from the Spanish Conquest. We will show some of these artifacts upon our web page. Nearby to Santiago Tuxtla is a very impressive waterfall called; Salto de Eyipantla. The Salto de Eyipantla is a huge and impressive waterfall, 40 meters wide and 50 meters high. The Salto de Eyipantla is fed by the Rio Grande de Catemaco, which gets its water from Lake Catemaco. There are many shops, vendors, and restaurants around the falls, since it is a tourist spot. The walk from the parking lot to the top of the falls is a short stroll. However the walk to the bottom of the falls is another matter, it takes 242 steps to descend and then you must climb back up. The Salto de Eyipantla is located on a side road between Catemaco and San Andres Tuxtla, about 12 miles (20 km) from Catemaco. It is about 9 miles from Santiago Tuxtla. The word Eyipantla comes from the Nahuatl words; yi (three), pantli (ravine), and tla (water). It can be translated as jumping three jets, or ravines.
