Understand
Coatepec, known as the "Capital of Coffee" in Mexico, derives its name from the indigenous Nahuatl language. Its name, which translates to "The Hill where the Snakes are," pays homage to its hilly terrain. Flowing through this municipality are four delightful rivers: Pixquiac, Pintores, Sordo, and Hueyapan, all of which merge into the charming Pescados River, also referred to as "La Antigua." Immerse yourself in Coatepec's rich coffee culture and explore the enchantment of its river-filled landscapes.
