That's me and my classmate on top of a pyramid in Tepoztlan. Today is such a fun packed day! The day started with a trip to the Bus Station in Cuernavaca. Well, it was my first time going to the bus station so I clearly had no idea where to go. Luckily, our friend Lina always knows the way. She led us through a bunch of backroads, markets, bridges and backdoors, and we arrived at the bus station. It was only 21 pesos (less than $2) to go to Tepotzlan!
Once the bus dropped us off, we realized we didn't really know how to go to the downtown area, or to the mountain where the pyramid is. Another taxi trip....
Well, lots of details, but the most exciting part was hiking up the mountain, to the top, to see the pyramid. It's quite challenging, but the view is so satisfying. Once on top, you can also climb the pyramid, walk around the steps and have even a better view - but a riskier one, as the steps are super narrow. You feel like you can fall at any time!
After the big hike, we went to a very good restaurant in Tepoztlan, where a mariachi band was playing the best romantic songs of the afternoon. I also had a very good gelato, specialty of the region, and is made of fig and special tequila leaf. It was very good!
I'm back now feeling very pumped. There is another trip tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it. Now to the shower and a very nice deep sleep.
