Coatepec borders the municipalities of Xalapa and Tlalnelhuayocan (north); Teocelo and Jalcomulco (south); Emiliano Zapata (east); and Xico and Teocelo (west).
Often called the capital of Coffee in Mexico, the name Coatepec comes from the náhuatl coa, serpent and tepetl, hill (The Hill where the Snakes are).
This municipality has four small rivers: the Pixquiac, "Pintores", "Sordo" and Hueyapan; all coming from "Pescados" ("La Antigua") river.
