TRAVEL TO MEXICO

ABOUT TEPOZATLAN MEXICO

Located at the foot of the Tepoztlán mountains, it is a magical town with deep Mexican roots and ancient pre-Hispanic traditions still present today. Tepozteco Mountain is a sacred pyramid known for the ancient Aztec God of pulque, fertility, and harvest.

Tepoztlan, also known as the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl, serves as an energetic portal to elevate one's vibration. Lush green areas surround Amate Camp, and spectacular mountain views invite you to disconnect from your routine and reconnect with nature.
