Sierra de Los Tuxtlas
Los Tuxtlas, as well as referring to a Biosphere Reserve, is a chain of volcanic mountains located near the coast in the state of Veracruz. In fact, much of the mountain range itself falls within the protected boundaries of the Biosphere, which is helping to prevent further deforestation in the area. It’s strange that Los Tuxtlas has a recently active volcano in its midst, San Martín Tuxtla, because it’s separated from the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Central American Volcanic Belt by some distance.
