Mazamitla: A Perfect Mountain Escape



I'm spending a few days in Mazamitla, a charming mountain town at 8,200 feet above sea level. Known as the 'Switzerland of Mexico', it features cool, less humid weather and even had snow last week. Despite the cold, I'm loving it.
 
Founded in 1537, Mazamitla has a quaint atmosphere with cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses. In the central plaza, you'll find the Parroquia de San Cristóbal. This beautiful church, known for its blend of Gothic and Mexican colonial architecture, is a key landmark and cultural centrepiece. 

The area offers hiking, mountain biking, and the stunning El Salto waterfall. Visitors can enjoy festivals like the Fiesta de San Cristóbal, explore local markets, and savour regional cuisine. 

With cozy cabins and modern hotels, Mazamitla provides a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. I've fallen in love with this place and look forward to my next visit.
