Exploring the outdoors is also about learning about the history you're traversing, and this region boasts one of the country's most important archaeological sites: Xochicalco , a UNESCO World Heritage Site , where you can visit pyramids and an ancient astronomical observatory. Also noteworthy is the route of 16th-century former convents, colonial gems steeped in history that transport you to another era.
In Tepoztlán, considered a Magical Town, the walk to the Tepozteco pyramid combines mysticism, nature and a spectacular view of the valley.
Traditions and flavors that endure
This land keeps its traditions alive: colorful carnivals like the one in Tepoztlán, and the chinelos dancing to traditional music, are proof of its festive spirit. Its cuisine delights palates with cecina from Yecapixtla, itacates, tlacoyos, and pulque.
Beyond the mountains, this springtime paradise offers hot springs, natural spas, and lakes like Tequesquitengo, where it's common to see water sports, skiing, and skydiving to round off an adrenaline-filled weekend.
