Mexico City Local
Atlixco is an approximately two-and-a-half-hour drive from Mexico City and is known for its beautiful flowers. Here, you can view the second tallest volcano in Mexico, Popocatépetl, as the charming town sits at the foot of it. For a more adventurous activity, climb to the top of Cerro de San Miguel. For something on the quieter side, visit the Chapel of the Archangel Saint Michael or get into the Christmas spirit at the Museo de la Navidad.
