¿Por Qué se Llama La Temida Cuesta de Maltrata?

In the Sierra Madre Oriental, between the central highlands and the lowlands of Veracruz, lies a road famous for its steep inclines and imposing landscape. For centuries, travelers, merchants, and muleteers crossed this mountain range along a difficult and arduous path, and over time, the area became known as La Cuesta de Maltrata (The Maltrata Pass). But where does that name really come from? This is the story behind one of Mexico's most famous mountain passes. #Maltrata #Veracruz #CuestaDeMaltrata #HistoryOfMexico #MexicanRoads #GeographyOfMexico #SierraMadreOriental #Mexico #HistoryOfMexico
