Mexcaltitán

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mexcaltitán is a small island with a circumference of less than a mile, floating in the swampy lowlands and mangroves off the coast of the Mexican state of Nayarit. It has been thought that it is the Aztlan of the Aztecs, their home city and birthplace from whence they set out to on their pilgrimage that led them to the founding of Tenochtitlan.

This island is a popular tourist attraction. It is accessible by boat from La Batanza, which is the dock area located near Santiago Ixcuintla. Buses are available from Santiago.
