Introducing Juchitán

Istmeño culture is strong in this friendly town, which is visited by few gringos. About 30 different neighborhood festivals (velas) almost fill the calendar with music, dancing, drinking, eating and fun from mid-April to early September, above all in May. Juchitán is also famed for its muxes – the town’s openly gay, frequently cross-dressing, men, who are fully accepted in local society and hold their own vela in November.
