Cuautla

Overview

Just 100 km southeat of Mexico City , Cuatla is most noted for its sulfur springs. They have been popular for centuries and they still attract noisy crowds from Mexico City on weekends. There’s not much to the town itself, except the grave of revolutionary Emiliano Zapata and a statue of Padre Jose Maria Morelos, a hero of the independence movement.

Several villages in the neighbourhood have nice colonial style convents and churches. Atotonilco el Grande is a good daytrip.
