Tehuacán is very different from all the towns and villages we normally see, With a population of over 240, 000, it is a huge regional commercial centre, located about 120km south-east of Puebla. It’s a beautiful town with a fine and shady zócalo. Because of its location between Mexico City and Oaxaca, Tehuacán has become a haven for shopping and so on. The city maps are available from the tourist information kiosk, for this place is a bit complicated to be roaming around alone.
