    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Tepoztlan is the belly of Mexico, surrounded by mountains, mystics and magic. In the first glance, being here is adventuring into the center of Mexican mythology.
    We are surrounded by mountains and a couple pyramids, we also have a tourism agency, so you might both participate in hikes and photo sessions of the hikings, and also you can go directly with the local guides for a nice walk.
    The Tepozteco Pyramid is really close, a beutiful 45 minute walk through the mountains and forest, all the way up to the temple in the top of the mountain.
    Amatlan is also 10 minutes away from us, and there you find both the town where QUETZALCOATL the highest prehispanic deity, is said to be borned as human, and (in season) waterfalls, water pools and adventures in the jungle.

    Theres many cultural centers and plazas around, both for meeting more people or for taking classes.

    We are also hosts of Wim Hof method workshops so if there are some while you are around, you can join freely for some breathwork and icebath.
