About Cuetzalan
The climate is subtropical and humid with frequent rains. The forests of the surrounding mountains are foggy and fog frequently descends into the town. The average temperature of 23 °C means most of the year will have pleasant conditions, but hot days are a possibility in the summer. Like most of Mexico, the population is mostly mestizo, but there are quite a few indigenous people in the area who identify as either Nahua or Totonac. Don't be surprised if you hear languages other than Spanish being spoken. Cuetzalan preserves a number of indigenous traditions, including dances, costumes, and regional foods. The Dance of the Quetzals is a popular folk dance in Cuetzalan because the town takes its name from the majestic Quetzal birds.
