El Tepozteco National Park, National Park in Morelos and Mexico City, Mexico
El Tepozteco National Park is a protected area in Morelos featuring varied landscapes across multiple elevations. The environment ranges from lush forests in lower zones to rocky peaks at higher altitudes.
The area became a national park in 1937 to protect its natural and cultural resources. An ancient temple found here was built centuries ago and holds significance to the people who lived in this region before colonial times.
The place is named after an ancient deity worshipped by local peoples centuries ago. You can observe how settlements in and around the area keep their traditional ways of life closely connected to the land.
The main hiking route starts from the nearby town and climbs steadily upward. Facilities are available along the way, but wearing sturdy shoes and arriving early in the day makes the experience more comfortable.
The park is home to a remarkable variety of bird species, many found nowhere else in the world. This abundance of birdlife draws nature watchers and photographers from all over.
