THE HEART OF PUEBLA
Its name means "Place next to the hill full of hail" in Nahuatl
It is located in the northeast of the state of Puebla, very close to the state of Veracruz.
Its history dates back to pre-Hispanic times when it was inhabited by Otomíes, Nahuas, Mazatecos, and Totonacas. It is also said that Hernán Cortés passed through this place on his way to Tenochtitlán.
During the fight against the French, the Austrian troops accompanying them settled in this city in 1865, and a year later, the Teziutecan National Guard managed to defeat and expel the European soldiers from their territory.
Centuries later, Tezuitlán played an active role in the Revolution and the Cristero War.
This town is also known as "The Pearl of the Sierra" and has become an important commercial center in the region. Fridays, specifically, are market days when many people from the mountainous-coastal region come to Teziutlán to sell their products.
Teziutlán
This region is known for its mysterious atmosphere, as it is covered in fog around 280 days of the year, giving it a unique character.
The city has good tourist infrastructure with hotels offering excellent service, restaurants serving fresh dishes with regional ingredients, travel agencies with attractive tours, and the warmth of the Teziutecan people.
Nearby, you can visit the Magical Towns of Chignautla and Cuetzalan, as well as enjoy all the natural attractions surrounding Teziutlán, such as its wooded landscapes with mountains and some waterfalls.
