TEQUESQUITLAN
www.Tequesquitlan.info Photo Gallery
|
Tequesquitlan is a small ranching and farming
community located in the mountains inland from the coast. Like most
small Mexican towns, there are rodeos with bandas (Charreadas), regional
fairs (Feria Regional), and other special events throughout the year.
These take place in the plaza de toros "La Providencia" or in the central
plaza. The town can be visited by vehicle from three directions. Off
Mex 80 Hwy. by car from the junction north of La Huerta. By off road
vehicle or pickup truck on gravel road (32km) from Jaluco, or from the town
of Cihuatlán. Local knowledge is necessary. There is only one
bus a day (1pm) to Tequesquitlan from La Huerta, but there are no overnight
accommodations available, so you would have to take a taxi back if there is
one available. Tequesquitlan originated back in 1880 as a 1000 acre
ranch hacienda owned by an American man. When the revolution started
in 1910 the hacienda was abandoned and later became the site of the Church
which is still the most prominent building in town. |
