Malinalco is supposed to be an up and coming place, another one of those Pueblos Magicos that people from CDMX go for the weekend. During the week it is pretty quiet. Weather was warm. We did a couple short hikes in the hills to various viewpoints.
Note to fellow travelers: Malinalco seems hard to get to, but the transfers were relatively easy and quick. Cuernavaca bus to Santa Martha, then bus to Chalma, then shared taxi to Malinco. On the way out it's Malinalco shared taxi to Tenancingo, bus to Ixtapan de la Sal, bus to Taxco.
On the bus from Santa Matha to Chalma. Second below is a short 15-second video of pilgrims in the spring below the Sacred "Ahuehuete de Chalma" tree as we pass through Chalma on the bus.
There are some very cool 16th century frescos in the Convento Agustino in the center of town.
Some vistas from our 2 hikes.
View from our own "mirador" at Hotel Miranda.
Bonus. Around town.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
