Location

Tepoztlan

The town of Tepoztlan is located on the slopes of the Tepozteco mountain in a beautiful valley surrounded by beautiful mountains, in the state of Morelos, in Mexico. Our weather is pleasant and fantastic most of the year, despite the spectacular thunderstorms we have in the rainy season.

Tepoztlan is known to be a healing center with a very special energy, and was given the recognition of “Magical Town”. The magical towns are considered special towns for their rich roots, symbolic attributes, legends and history. It is known for its colorful festivities, parades and carnival that are lived and celebrated with enthusiasm by the Tepoztecans and visitors alike.

The town of Tepoztlan is full of traditional markets, crafts, and charming shops that give visitors a true taste of the magical Mexican towns. Despite the important presence of pre-colonial indigenous culture, the Spanish influence of Tepoztlan adds beauty and charm. The churches are some of the oldest in Mexico and their architectural styles are magnificent.

One of the biggest attractions of Tepoztlan is the Tepozteco pyramid. This monument of pre-colonial Mexico was built on a mountain just above the town with a very beautiful view of the entire valley and the cliffs that adorn Tepoztlan.

Tepoztlan is located just one hour from Mexico City, 40 minutes from Cuernavaca, 3 hours from Acapulco beach and 3 hours from Taxco. Tepoztlan is without a doubt an excellent point for many incredible excursions and it is the perfect place to enjoy all the best of Mexico.
