Tlayacapan Municipality, Administrative municipality in Morelos, Mexico
The municipality spans 71 square kilometers of land characterized by stone-paved streets, red-tiled roofs, and numerous ravines connected by stone bridges.
The former monastery of San Juan Bautista, constructed in the 1530s, represents the Spanish colonial presence and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The municipality maintains its agricultural identity with ninety percent of residents working in farming, producing tomatoes, corn, beans, and squash.
Visitors can reach Tlayacapan by road from Cuernavaca, located 60 kilometers west, or take a 90-minute drive south from Mexico City.
Twenty-six religious chapels dot the municipality, many built upon former pre-Hispanic ritual locations and still used during contemporary celebrations.
