Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Those with a penchant for spiritual mysticism or cultural history will want to make sure El Tepozteco is on their Mexico travel bucket list. This mountaintop Aztec pyramid is dedicated to the god Tepoztecatl and is located in the Mexican cloud forest of Morelos just outside the mountain town of Tepoztlan. Getting to the pyramid from town involves a hiking a path through the mountainous rainforest past dramatic waterfalls, mischievous coatis, an ancient stairway, and a rock canyon. The journey is its own reward, but the pyramid is icing on the proverbial cake. Trekkers taking the stairs to the top of this archaeological site will find two interior chambers to explore, plus panoramic views of the countryside and Tepoztlan.
