Catemaco Lake (Laguna Catemaco)

Catemaco is known in Mexico for its community of brujos and brujas, which can be translated as 'witches' or 'sorcerers', as most are men but some are woman.

There are several volcanic islands within the lake. Several of these islands are stocked with native and imported monkeys as a University of Veracruz research project. This has led to more than 70 small boats scurrying tourists from Catemaco city across the lake to view the free ranging monkeys.

Catemaco is an excellent destination for families, offering a variety of attractions and activities that cater to visitors of all ages. One of the highlights for families is the Laguna de Catemaco, where children can enjoy a day of fun on the water.
