El Tepozteco Hill

El Tepozteco

This hill has been a place of worship since pre-Hispanic times, as at the top the image of Ometochtli Tepoztécatl—a minor god of pulque, also associated with the moon and fertility of plant life—was worshipped.

Today, they still hold purification ceremonies. The climb to the top can take from 30 minutes to three hours, depending on one’s condition. Your efforts will be rewarded with a great view of the valley where the town is located.
