Today we left for Tepoztlan, a small town in the mountains.  It was about a 2 hour drive from Puebla. We drove through the mountains/hills and were able to see the volcano blowing steam.  It is an active volcano.

When we reached the town it was amazing.  The roads were narrow and made like cobblestone--rocks placed in cement.

Streets

It was hard getting around because on most streets only one car could fit.  So if 2 cars were coming from opposite directions, one had to back up so the other one could pass.

Narrow Streets

There were many small shops that we were able to explore.  The whole town was getting ready for a celebration of some kind so it was a very busy place.

We chose to walk through the town and shop instead of hiking for 45 minutes to see the pyramid.  Even still we walked 4 miles!





The mountains were absolutely gorgeous.  Very different than the ones I've seen before.
