About Tepoztlán
Archaeological Zone Tepozteco
Carretera Federal libre, Cuernavaca - Tepoztlan
Hike up the mountain to visit an Aztec temple built around 1200 C.E.! El Tepozteco is the archaeological site at the top of the local mountain. It consists of a small temple to Tepoztēcatl, the Aztec god of the alcoholic beverage pulque. It also offers amazing views over the surrounding area! About a 40-minute hike with a few breaks it's not too long, and mostly in the shade - but with a steep incline! Wear good comfortable shoes because the terrain has some slippery rocks. We recommend going earlier in the morning or in the afternoon to avoid the heat & crowds. Entry into the Archaeological Zone (Pyramid) is $55 pesos, cash only.
Mercado Municipal Tepoztlán
Arq. Pablo González 3, Santo Domingo, Tepoztlán
Excellent food hall with many little puestos (booths) to choose from, all with beautiful views over Tepoztlán. Fun fact: The item in my quesadilla is huitlacoche or corn fungus, it's earthy, a little sweet & delicious.
