A wonderful mountain village in Morelos state where chilangos (people who live in Mexico City) love to go to try the famous quesadillas azules at the Sunday market.
My suggestion
If you are a nature lover then head about 10 kilometres away to Amatlan. There are some wonderful walks there, as well as some atypical places to stay, such as in a wigwam!

Rest and heat, an hour and a half from the capital.
My suggestion
Take some fruit (apples or bananas) to feed the badgers who live at the foot of El Tepozteco pyramid.
Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.
The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.
I guarantee that hopping on the El Chepe train will be a unique adventure in the north-west of Mexico. As the kilometres go by, incredible landscapes will pass before your eyes, don't miss the train!
