7 Things to Do in Atlixco That You Shouldn't Miss
Atlixco (Nahuatl pronunciation: [aːˈt͡ɬiːʃko] ( listen) is a city and a municipality in the Mexican state of Puebla. It is a regional industrial and commercial center but economically it is much better known for its production of ornamental plants and cut flowers. The city was founded early in the colonial period, originally under the jurisdiction of Huejotzingo, but eventually separated to become an independent municipality. The municipality has a number of notable cultural events, the most important of which is the El Huey Atlixcayotl, a modern adaptation of an old indigenous celebration. This event brings anywhere from 800 to 1,500 participants from all over the state of Puebla to create music, dance and other cultural and artistic performances.

We Ubered from Cholula to Atlixco for a diversion. We got our goal accomplished. The walk about the center of town, Zocalo was an interesting one . the local market is enormous. The fall earthquake 2017 had still created much to be done. However the locals are resilient and the Zocalo is a positive testament to the beauty of a people that have gone through an incredibly horrific of natures bad side.

You'll test your lung capacity walking around and up this high hill, but the views from the top are worth it. There are rest stops and scenic overlooks as you get closer to the top, and the outside of the chapel is interesting.

El lugar tiene un área grande de trampolines donde los niños se divierten a lo grande y se cansan tal como los padres necesitan.
El servicio es muy cordial y los instructores son amables.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente y claro que volvería
5. Iglesia y Hospital de San Juan de Dios

This 16th century building is remarkable for several reasons. For 284 years it was the oldest continuously used Hospital in Mexico. Recently, the hospital was relocated and the building repurposed.
It now boasts a museum with a collection of Baroque Mexican paintings - including a series about the life of St. John of God that is remarkable for its size and is allegedly the longest series of this kind.
Finally, it has some fine examples of indigenous sculpture from the early colonial period. The Fountain of the courtyard is an exquisitely expressive piece depicting St. Andrew. Other carved stonework (including column capitals) and stucco decorations are clearly much more related to the local pyramid builders than to the Spanish conquerors.
Unfortunately, the building suffers from some carelessness. The lighting in the museum is poorly installed - ask the attendant to turn of the main lights (!!??) to better appreciate the paintings. Other signs of neglect are slowly appearing in several parts of the building, but it is still one of the most beautiful buildings in Atlixco.
