Laguna Sontecomapan, looking north from the Sierra de Los Tuxtlas. The Gulf of Mexico is in the distance.
Tourism is concentrated on sightseeing the environmentally threatened mangroves of the laguna by rental lancha (boat) from the embarcadero (dock) in the village of Sontecomapan, watching kids dive at the shallow spring Poza de los Enanos and visiting the beaches of La Barra and Jicacal.
In 2004 Laguna Sontecomapan was designated as a Ramsar site.[1]
