Mexico Tourism Weblog / Adventure Tourism in Mexico City: TepoztecoAn hour south of the city, this relatively small mountain is a piece of cake to find: take a bus to the village of Tepoztlan and walk straight down the main street until it turns into a trail and begins snaking up the mountainside. At its summit, Tepozteco is slightly lower in elevation than Mexico City; it would require little or no acclimatization if not for its surprising steepness. The rocky trail ascends an abrupt 365 metres in less than a mile (1.6 km). Tall rock spires covered in vegetation jut dramatically up from the slopes. The hike is a fun scramble. But the real reward is at the summit, which is home to what may be Mexico’s most curious archeological site: a nine-metre-high pyramid that dates back to the 12th century. After huffing and puffing up the mountain, nothing feels better than sitting atop the sun-drenched pyramid with your feet hanging off, eating a snack and soaking in the breathtaking view of the valley below. Getting to Tepozteco: Go to the Terminal Sur bus station at the Tasquena metro stop. Take a bus to Tepoztlan and walk up to the trailhead.
