A subtropical valley town southwest of Mexico City crowned by Cuauhtinchán, an Aztec temple complex carved directly into the living rock of a cliffside. Below, an Augustinian monastery holds remarkable 16th-century garden murals, and weekend markets fill the plaza with trout, tamales, and carved wooden masks.
