Wejoytrip recommends
A coffee tasting, accompanied by a tour of the Museum of Coffee or the Casa de los Azulejos.
You can also visit the Museum-Garden of orchids, with more than four-thousand species.
Some are so tiny, you might need a magnifying glass to see them! We also recommends planning a route to visit the haciendas of the area, and also paying a visit to the surrounding nature, especially the waterfalls of la Granada or the waterfall of Bola de Oro.
For food we recommend trying the acamayas (crayfish), the bread soup, the hen mole, and toritos, flavored drinks of the region.
If you like to wake up early, we recommend the El Resobado bakery, with more than one-hundred years of operations, and open 24/7.
You can’t miss it.
And for regional arts and crafts we recommend visiting the regional market on a Saturday.
Coatepec, with its simplicity, color, and magic, will enchant you.
