Juan Morales

Juan Morales is on the eastern edge of Cuautla, where Avenida Progreso and Avenida Revolución meet federal highway 160 (the Cuautla bypass). Downtown Cuautla is about 3 km away in a straight line, roughly 5 minutes by car.

From Mexico City, the simplest way is the Pullman de Morelos bus from Terminal Sur (Taxqueña) to Cuautla: buses leave hourly and the trip takes about 90 minutes, with tickets from roughly 120 to 220 pesos depending on class and time (Wikivoyage). Cuautla has no single terminal: Pullman de Morelos waits at Máximo Bravo 53, OCC (ADO) at 2 de Mayo 97 and Estrella Blanca at Ing. Mongoy 63, all downtown. From there take a taxi or a combi east toward Juan Morales. In Yecapixtla a combi line, route 5, runs to the colonia Juan Morales.

Coming via Yecapixtla instead, the Sur line bus leaves TAPO (AU ticket counters), runs through Chalco and Amecameca and drops you at the Yecapixtla junction, about 1.5 hours from the capital, where you pick up a combi. By car, the federal Mexico-Cuautla highway leads to that junction. The nearest pueblo on our list, Tlayacapan, is about 17 km away as the crow flies (roughly 30 minutes by road).

Soak in the sulphur water at Agua Hedionda, on Avenida Progreso, about 1 km away.
Walk downtown Cuautla: the old railway station and its steam locomotive number 279.
Visit the 16th-century San Diego de Alcalá ex-convent in central Cuautla.
Continue to Yecapixtla and its San Juan Bautista ex-convent, a World Heritage monument.
Eat Yecapixtla cecina at the town's stalls and butcher counters.
