Return to Mexico City from Tepoztlán.

Tomorrow: Enjoy the last hours in Tepoztlán

Start the day with a typical breakfast at a local eatery. Try some delicious itacates or blue corn quesadillas accompanied by a traditional clay pot coffee. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the town while you plan your return.

Before leaving, take time to explore the market again. It's the ideal moment to purchase souvenirs like embroidered textiles, obsidian jewelry, copal incense, or local products like honey or artisanal liquors.

Noon: Getting ready for the return

Plan to leave Tepoztlán between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. to avoid the traffic congestion heading into Mexico City, which tends to worsen in the afternoon, especially on Sundays and holidays.

Take the Mexico-Cuernavaca highway (MEX-95D). It's a fast and direct route, but be mindful of the toll booths and drive with caution, as traffic may intensify near the entrances to Mexico City.

Afternoon: Lunch on the road or at home

If you have time, make a stop for lunch at one of the restaurants along the way. Many offer spectacular mountain views and traditional Mexican food like barbacoa or cecina. Alternatively, head straight back home and organize a relaxed meal to wrap up the day.

Tips to avoid traffic:

  • Avoid returning in the late afternoon/evening: Traffic at the entrance to Mexico City can be very heavy after 4:00 p.m., especially on Sundays or during holiday weekends.
  • Check traffic apps: Use apps like Google Maps or Waze to monitor real-time conditions and choose the best route.
  • Prepare for an early return: If your schedule allows, leave earlier to enjoy a smoother trip back.
