| Los Tuxtlas Veracruz, Mexico Los Tuxtlas are an anomaly of volcanic mountains along the Gulf of Mexico, arising in the southern Veracruz plains, and disconnected from the massive central Mexican volcanic plateau by more than 100 miles. Historic isolation allowed Los Tuxtlas to retain large numbers of endemic species of fauna and flora, in the furthest northern reaches of American rain forest, and much of the area is now protected by a Mexican federal reserve. Its spectacular geographic features ranging from coastal sand dunes, placid lagoons, roaring waterfalls and mist shrouded dormant and extinct volcanoes, were first enjoyed by the Olmecs who originated the first Mesoamerican civilization around 1400 BC.
