The Quiotepec river forms the boundary to the municipality of Chiquihuitlan and serves agricultural needs, like irrigation of fields.

The weather is temperate all year round with summer rains and winds crossing from north to south.

At present young citizens migrate to other latitudes like Tehuacan in Puebla and Tuxtepec in Oaxaca.

Fields mostly grow maize and beans, which are the basic grains; there are also small coffee producers which are economically important.
