Why it's still quiet
Turquoise rivers, travertine waterfalls and Edward James' surrealist concrete garden in the jungle at Xilitla. Overwhelmingly Mexican visitors — which is why it still feels like itself.
The friction

Background
La Huasteca is a geographical and cultural region located partially along the Gulf of Mexico and including parts of the states of Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Hidalgo and San Luis Potosí. It is roughly defined as the area in which the Huastec people had influence when their civilization was at its height during the Mesoamerican period. Today, the Huastecs occupy only a fraction of this region with the Nahua people now the most numerous indigenous group. However, those who live in the region share a number of cultural traits such as a style of music and dance, along with religious festivals such as Xantolo.
