A MAGICAL PLACE TO RECHARGE YOUR ENERGY
This place is considered one of the most attractive locations in the state.
It is a mystical place where its natural surroundings, traditions, and history come together to create a magic that transforms all its visitors.
Its festivities, crafts, and traditions are a synthesis of three cultural roots: Nahua-Xochimilca, Spanish-European, and African. This synthesis reaches its maximum expression in the Chinelo dance, which takes place during the carnival held in February.
It is located in the state of Morelos, at the foothills of the Tepozteco Hill, only 26 km (30 minutes) from Cuernavaca and 82 km (1 hour and 15 minutes) from Mexico City.

Barrios (Neighborhoods)
The town is divided into eight neighborhoods, all with steep cobbled streets that retain their original layout from colonial times. Each one has its own particular flavor, so you can explore them and see which one is your favorite.

Tepoztlán is home to the Ex-Convent of Our Lady of the Nativity, declared a World Heritage Site. Dating back to the 16th century, it is adorned with beautiful paintings inside and houses the Museum of the Nativity, which showcases aspects of the regional culture. The decoration of the arch on the atrium facade is modified every year and reflects the town's traditions and culture.

This small museum exhibits a collection of approximately a thousand archaeological pieces from the poet Carlos Pellicer, representing cultures such as the Olmec, Maya, Zapotec, Totonac, among others. It features a fragment of the ancient god Ometochtli Tepuztécatl found in the Tepozteco archaeological zone at the top of the hill of the same name.
