Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc, Historical settlement in northern Guerrero, Mexico.
Located at an elevation of 2600 meters, Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc sits among mountains in the northern region of Guerrero state.
In the mid-20th century, the parish church gained recognition after reports claimed the discovery of remains believed to belong to Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor.
The church of San Juan Bautista houses a museum displaying pre-Hispanic artifacts and traditional offerings connected to indigenous Mexican practices.
Visitors can reach the settlement by taking regular bus services from Iguala, located 45 kilometers away, with journey times varying based on road conditions.
