La Venta is an Olmec site that had at least two possible trade routes entering it. It was strategically located on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, making it a key hub for trade between the Gulf Coast and the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
The Olmec may have faced difficulties such as navigating through dense jungles or rough terrain, encountering hostile groups or animals along the trade routes, and ensuring the safety of traded goods from theft or damage. Additionally, inconsistent weather conditions or natural disasters could have disrupted the transportation of goods.
The Olmec settled in the humid lowlands of present-day Mexico for fertile land and access to waterways. The Maya settled in Mesoamerica because of the region's rich soil, varied terrain that allowed for diverse crops, and access to trade routes for cultural exchange.

The Spanish did not attack the Olmec civilization, as the Olmec civilization had already declined centuries before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the Americas. The Olmec civilization existed primarily in what is now Mexico from around 1400 BCE to 400 BCE.
The Olmec civilization preceded the Aztec civilization, with the Olmec society established in Mesoamerica around 1400 BCE. The Aztec civilization emerged later in the 14th century and eventually conquered territories that were once part of the Olmec civilization. While they are distinct civilizations, there is evidence to suggest that the Aztecs were influenced by the Olmec culture.
