What Makes It Magical
Coatepec, in the center of the state, is surrounded by mesophilic forest and large coffee plantations. The colors of its common orchids in houses, parks and plazas will enchant you. Here you will see elegant houses with their ironwork balconies and historically valuable properties. Walking through the town, your senses will be overwhelmed by the permanent smell of roasted coffee. Who would have guessed that the coffee bean would arrive from Cuba across the sea, and change the destiny of this town, nestled in the mountains? As the Capital of Coffee and Orchids, this Magical Town is one of the destinations you will always want to come back to.
