**Transfer to Mexico City or any other place inside the country

1)      With the group: A bus will pick us up at Casa Azul on Wednesday 9th at 6:00 pm and take us to Maria Cristina Hotel in Mexico City. If you need to get to any other place, we might stop where you need.

2)      By yourself: If you are going to Mexico City’s Airport: there is a shuttle that takes you from Cuernavaca bus station to Mexico City’s Airport, so you need to take a bus from Tepoztlán to Cuernavaca (Downtown satation or Casino La Selva station) and then the shuttle. The journey will take around 3 hours.

If you are going to any other place in the country by bus: you need to take bus from Tepoztlán to Cuernavaca for main destinations because Tepoztlán bus station is a local one.

>> Tepoztlán bus station is located in 5 de Mayo #35 at “downtown”

>> Cuernavaca’s bus stations are located in Mariano Abasolo #100 (Centro) and in Plan de Ayala #102 (Casino La Selva)
