Mercado Artesanal de Tepoztlán is a vibrant, open-air market nestled in the heart of Tepoztlán, set against a backdrop of verdant mountains. It’s the town’s creative soul, where local artisans showcase handmade crafts—from embroidered blouses and wood carvings to pottery, jewelry, and pre-Hispanic musical instruments—while food stalls tempt visitors with traditional delights like itacates, tacos, and even adventurous bites like chapulines (grasshoppers).

The lively atmosphere, especially on weekends, makes it a perfect spot to shop, snack, people-watch, and immerse yourself in Tepoztlán’s colorful cultural spirit.
