Santa María Jacatepec is a town and municipality located in the state of Oaxaca 11 km north of the Valle Nacional. “Jacatepec” comes from Nahuatl meaning ‘on jackal hill.’ It is part of the Tuxtepec District of the Papaloapan Region, and is only 30 meters above sea level.
The town had its origins when the residents of San Juan Palantla needed to escape an epidemic that devastated the village. First they established a village they called Valle Real; however, because of the place’s bad location, they moved on to several farming areas called San Pedro Ozumasín, San Mateo Yetla and Santa María Jacatepec. The last was established as a town in 1650 and then as at municipality in 1896.
Near the town are 3 springs called Tzul Zul, Paraíso Escondido and Arroyo Blanco which have been converted into recreational parks.
