    About Ventoquipa

    Ventoquipa is a village in the municipality of Santiago Tulantepec de Lugo Guerrero, in the Tulancingo valley, at 2,212 metres. Its terrain is rolling hills, with a temperate semi-arid climate, and water from the area runs to the Metztitlán sub-basin.

    The railway station here is the starting point of a tourist route in the municipality. According to Criterio Hidalgo, the roughly two-and-a-half-hour tour begins at the station, continues to the Los Cangrejos springs and the Santiago Textil factory, and is made on the Tulanbus, a small tourist bus, combined with stretches on foot. When it was reported it was a pilot run, with the aim of repeating it at the end of each month.

    The censuses show steady growth: 53 people in 1910, 155 in 1940, 602 in 1970, over a thousand in 2000 and 1,173 in 2020, 2.97% of the municipality. Santiago Tulantepec, 64 km² and mostly hills, belongs to the Tulancingo metropolitan area.

    By coordinates, Tezoquipa, already in Cuautepec de Hinojosa, is a few hundred metres away.

    How to get to Ventoquipa

    Drive from Tulancingo: 10 min, 8 km

    Ventoquipa is about 6 km in a straight line from Tulancingo (roughly 5 to 10 minutes by car per the brief's estimate) and about 20 km from Acaxochitlán, the nearest Pueblo Mágico (roughly 25 minutes). Santiago Tulantepec, the municipal seat, is the map reference for getting there.
