Coatepec, Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town)

In 1808, the true history of this magical town began; when the coffee bean arrived from the sea from Cuba, changing the course of this town nestled in the orchard that covers the eastern slopes of the volcanoes Pico de Orizaba and Cofre de Perote.

The aroma of roasted coffee means that as soon as you breathe in, you will be invited to explore this small city characterized by its large houses built in the Andalusian style with beautiful interior gardens, by its parks, and haciendas, all surrounded by mist, and mystery. In Coatepec, much more awaits you than the great aroma of coffee and its history.
