The Huasteca Potosina is that portion of San Luis Potosí that lies to the east of the Sierra Madre Oriental. Crossing the Sierra Madre from the dry, desert-like expanses of western San Luis Potosí into the rich, green, water-blessed hillsides of the Huasteca can seem like moving from a harsh nightmare into a comforting and peaceful dream.

The Huasteca is full of resources that make it an ideal place for mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, camping, exploring archeological sites, enjoying its healing, thermal hot-springs and its bubbling, crisp, clean streams, and admiring the beauty of spectacular waterfalls, deep sinkholes and majestic caverns.

The farmlands are lush and plentiful. Roadside stands give offerings of preserved chiles and salsas, nutmeats, fruits and honey. Here Mother Nature exudes abundance and peace in what is yet a humble and unpretentious setting.
