Coahuitlán is delimited to the north and to the east by Coyutla, to the south-east by Chumatlan, to the south by Filomeno Mata and to the west by Puebla State.[1]
Due to the weather, which is warm all year and rains in summer, the main production is of maize and beans.[citation needed]
In Coahuitlán, in March and April, a celebration in honor of Santo Entierro takes place.[citation needed]
