Cuetzalan del Progreso

In Mexico there are thousands of beautiful places waiting to be discovered with Habibi Word Travel & Tour. The Pueblo Mágico (Magic City) of Cuetzalan is one of them, and it is really a good idea to combine this magical place with other magical places during your stay in Cuetzalan. The county is located in the rocky mountains of Puebla, three hours from the state capital, and is surrounded by beautiful coffee plantations, caves, grottoes and film-worthy forest landscapes covered in mist.

It is the birthplace of one of the most famous birds in the country, the quetzal, after which Cuetzalan is named. It is worth mentioning that this city was founded in 200 BC By the Totonacas. Because of the cultural synergies generated by the conquest, it was renamed to San Francisco Cuetzalan under colonial rule.

A trip to this mountainous region allows you to discover the culture and traditions of the Náhuatl and Totonaca through a variety of ancestral rituals, which are still practiced in the region, such as the Voladores (flyers) or the Danza de los Quetzales (Quetzal) dance), which was declared an Intangible Heritage by UNESCO in 2009.

Stroll through the cobblestone streets, which resemble a storybook scene, and enjoy the quiet ambience.On weekends is in the middle of the town square a traditional marketplace. In this marketplace there are often pre-Hispanic traditions such as the trade and barter with local products, to avoid money. It is without a doubt a fantastic opportunity to develop your negotiation skills

. When you're done exploring the market, we recommend visiting the Casa de la Cultura de Cuetzalan (Cuetzalan Cultural Center), an ancient mansion that currently houses the Calmahuistic Ethnographic Museum, where you can learn more about the Pueblo Mágico Cuetzalan -Hispanic History.
