Mexcaltitán de Uribe

Mexcaltitán de Uribe, also known simply as Mexcaltitán, is a small, artificial island-city in the municipality of Santiago Ixcuintla in the Mexican state of Nayarit. Its name derives from two Náhuatl words, mexcalli ("cooked maguey, cooked agave") and suffix -titlan ("among, around; under"). Some historians have raised the possibility it was the Aztlán of the Aztecs, their ancestral home from where they set out in 1091 to the found Tenochtitlan.

This island is now being promoted as a tourist attraction. It was designated a "Pueblo Mágico" by the federal government in 2001, and, after losing the status for several years, was reinstated in the program in 2020. It is accessible by boat from La Batanga, which is the dock area located some 40 kilometers from Santiago Ixcuintla. It is known as "The Mexican Venice" (La Venecia Mexicana).

The principal attraction of the island is its colorful houses with traditional water-resistant roofs. During the rainy season, it is necessary to travel by boat due to flooding in the streets.
