Totonacapan refers to the historical extension where the Totonac people of Mexico dominated, as well as to a region in the modern states of Veracruz and Puebla.

  • Totonacapan es el nombre de una región mexicana que se sitúa fundamentalmente en el norte del Estado de Veracruz. Esta región se conformó originalmente en torno a la ciudad prehispánica de El Tajín y posteriormente, en la época colonial y hasta la actualidad, en torno a la ciudad de Papantla.​ Aunque comprende una amplia zona, en la que se desarrolló la cultura totonaca, en la actualidad la región se considera desde el río Cazones, al norte, hasta las poblaciones de Gutiérrez Zamora y Tecolutla, al sur. Algunas otras localidades de Veracruz comprendidas en la región del Totonacapan, son, Cazones, Coatzintla y Poza Rica. (es)

For this reason, they allied with Hernán Cortés against Tenochtitlán. However, over the colonial period, the Totonac population and territory shrank, especially after 1750 when mestizos began infiltrating Totonacapan, taking political and economic power. This continued into the 19th and 20th centuries, prompting the division of most of historical Totonacpan between the states of Puebla and Veracruz. Today, the term refers only to a region in the north of Veracruz where Totonac culture is still important. This region is home to the El Tajín and Cempoala archeological sites as well as Papantla, which is noted for its performance of the Danza de los Voladores. (en)
