Coixtlahuaca District is located in the northeast of the Mixteca Region of the State of Oaxaca, Mexico.

[1] The region is generally from 2,000m to 3,000m high, mostly hilly or mountainous with small plains.

Much of the area has been deforested and rainfall has decreased in recent years, affecting production of the standard crops of corn, wheat, beans and barley.

It is the traditional home of the Chocho people, although they are now a small minority.
