TEPOZLAN PANO (1 of 1)

Panoramic view from the pyramid of tepozteco in the state of Morelos, Mexico.

High up in the mountains of Morelos lies an ancient pyramid at the end of a spectacular hike through the Mexican cloud forest. Dedicated to Tepoztecatl, the Aztec god of Pulque, the shrine attracted pilgrims from as far away as Guatemala in its day. Today, the pyramid overlooks the quaint mountain town of Tepoztlan, known throughout Mexico for its supposed mysticism, far flung community of European and American expats, and production of Mezcal. The pyramid has two rooms inside, one opening out onto the monumental stairs and the other a smaller chamber in the interior.
