Tepotzotlán





Hello! Wally I feel very happy having you with me and my family. My name is Alexa and I want to show you where is located my home. I live in Tepotzotlan which is part of the state of Mexico. The name of the city has nahuatl origin and means “among humpbacks” referring to the shape of the hills that surround this area. It is located 44.5 km from Mexico city and from 10 minutes to my school.

The main attraction is the Museum National of the Virreynato in which is the Jesuit school of San Martin and San Francisco Javier and the Temple of San Peter Apostle. At the moment it has elevated to the category of Magical Town of Mexico. The center of town has maintained its colonial appearance with plazas, gardens, etc. There is a small secular plaza in front of the main church which contains a Kiosk at which many cultural events take place. The municipal market stands selling traditional dishes as quesadillas, sopes, pambazos and tacos as well as barbacoa and carnitas.

This is my town, a colorful and beautiful town. Hey! Children and teachers of everywhere Do you like my town?

  2. I think your town sounds very fun and educational-my favorite kind of place. I'm sure Wally also had fun and learned a lot. Do you think that Tepotzolan would have the kind of population it has if it didn't have the landmarks it has?
