Ozumba de Aizate Attractions

From Tlapacoya along the MEX 115 for 10km/6mi in the direction of Cuautla, the small town of Ozumba de Aizate (population: 20,000) is reached. The 16th c. Franciscan friary is adorned with interesting frescos depicting Hernán Cortés receiving the first group of twelve Franciscan monks to arrive in New Spain (in 1524). The monastery church of Concepción Immaculata, with its Baroque altar and Open Chapel, underwent some rebuilding in the 18th c. Located near Ozumba de Aizate are the Salto de Chimal waterfall and the little town of Chimalhuacán with its lovely gardens.
