Sierra Mazateca Route Itinerary

Try Popo at the morning market — the ceremonial cacao and corn drink that’s a San Lucas Ojitlán tradition.

Rent a boat in San Pedro Ixcatlán to weave through the islets of Lake Miguel Alemán, then wrap up with ceviche at a spot right on the water.

A Mazatec county seat sitting at the foot of the towering Cerro Rabón.

Before reaching Usila, stop at this lookout for a panoramic view of the valley and the river. Once in town, enjoy stone soup by the river before heading back to Tuxtepec.
