Texcoco de Mora Attractions

 
How to get there

From Mexico City by bus (departure from Terminal del Oriente near the metro station Candelaría); by car 20km/12.4mi past the airport on the road leading across the dried-up Texcoco Lake or 44km/27mi on the MEX 190 and 136 via Los Reyes.

From the 14th to the 16th c. Texcoco had a historically important role. Founded on the edge of the lake of the same name (today dried-up), the town rivalled Tenochtitlán, the Aztec metropolis which had been built on an island in what was then a lake. Today Texcoco, conveniently situated not far to the north-west of Mexico City, is a trading centre for woollen clothing, ceramics and glass with a surrounding area which boasts many archaeological sites and artistic treasures from the colonial period.
