Pedro Amaro

Pedro Amaro is one of the largest built-up localities in the municipality of Jojutla by population: the 2020 census counted 5,748 people and 1,599 occupied dwellings, a number that has been growing (5,551 in 2010). It sits at about 900 m above sea level and a little over 2 km in a straight line from Jojutla city, so it works almost as a residential extension of the municipal seat.

The climate is that of southern Morelos: warm all year, averaging about 24.6 °C, with rain concentrated in summer. Nearly every home has electricity and piped water, and most people declared themselves Catholic in 2020, with a Protestant minority of roughly one in five.

There is no monument or natural site here that justifies a trip on its own, and we found no sources on the origin of the name or on local festivals. What it offers is context: Jojutla is the commercial centre of the region, neighbouring Zacatepec, with its sugar mill, and Tlaltizapán, the town of the Zapatista headquarters. A local directory lists a few restaurants and one hotel in the locality.

If you pass through, treat it as a practical stop for a meal or fuel before continuing to Jojutla or the rest of southern Morelos. We publish no hours or fees because no source gives any.
