Toluca and Magical Town of Metepec

Begin your journey in Toluca with a visit to the stunning Cosmovitral Botanical Garden. Housed in a beautifully restored Art Nouveau building that once served as the Mercado 16 de Septiembre, the garden features over 400 plant species from around the world! Don't miss the chance to try a traditional torta made with the city's famous red or green chorizo, a flavorful sausage prepared with pork, peppers, ginger, and vinegar.
Next, head to Metepec, a "Magical Town" known for its rich artisan tradition. You'll visit a family-owned workshop where the famous Tree of Life sculptures originated. Under expert guidance, you'll craft your clay piece using traditional molds in a hands-on experience. Your final stop is San Mateo Atenco, a bustling commercial center known for its high-quality leather goods. What began as a single shoe shop after the Mexican Revolution has grown into a weekend shopping hotspot, offering footwear, belts, bags, and more at great prices.
