Would you like to spend a weekend at a place boasting to have “the best climate of the world”?
We invite you to know the Magic Town of Atlixco in the state of Puebla, where the landscapes are covered by the colors of hundreds and hundreds of flowers that blossom on this beautiful valley.
Both for a family trip or a special weekend with your significant other, this place features the versatility to offer everything you need and deserve.
Its closeness to Mexico City makes it even more recommendable. The 2-hour trip from there is well worth being made to live an experience full of tradition; from the Puebla capital it is a 40-minute trip.
THE START…
The central venue of this voyage will be the Las Calandrias Boutique Hotel, located just 12 minutes from downtown; this hotel offers a magnificent show that lightens your soul and sets everyone staying in in a good mood thanks to its green gardens and the color prodigality of its over 5,000 bougainvillea! They actually welcome you with a glass of bougainvillea water, not only refreshing but with an ample variety of properties.
