Totontepec Villa de Morelos is a small village of approximately 2,000 people in the Mixe region. It is in a mountainous region.

The locals, called Totontepecanos, speak Mexican Spanish and the local dialect of the Mixe language. Each dialect of Mixe is different depending on the village in which it is spoken.

The town’s most notable feature is a rock that can be seen from nearly every location. They call it “La Mitra” (or mitre, in English). It is located at the top of the mountain on which Totontepec is built. The locals will scale this mountain to light prayer candles and get a great view of their town.
