Established around 1592, this verdant valley at 4,000ft is rich in agricultural products such as wheat, rice and corn.
The name is derived from a Nahuatl word "Mazacolta" meaning "Place of Deer and Snakes" and does not refer to 'pets'.
Mascota is an agricultural town, so don't be suprised to meet a bunch of cows wandering down the street.
