A 50 minute bus ride from Cuernavaca takes you to the crisp mountain town of Tepoztlan, where you’ll need the day to savor exotic ice cream and check out some crafts in a new age atmosphere. Best to visit the market on Sunday, where vendors line the cobblestone streets, selling silver jewelry, precious stones, and long, flowery, hippie-style dresses.
Tourists enjoy live music and church buffs relax in the courtyard and snap photos of the monastery while others admire paintings from local artists. If you’re in good shape, scale the mountain trail to the pyramid of Aztec God, Tepozteco, and breathe in more of that creative energy the locals keep talking about.
Be sure to try the ice cream: just look for the brightly painted places. You can sample flavors like avocado and tequila or try something more traditional like strawberry.
