Since the early 1990s ecotourism has been an important part of the economy of the region, with more than a dozen hotels and professional dealers of adventure travel.
In May, a celebration takes place in Jalcomulco to honor San Juan Bautista, the Patron saint of the town.
The Río de los Pescados section of the Rio Antigua is a whitewater river that flows through the town of Jalcomulco and is commercially rafted.
