Azcapotzalco Original Settlements

Azcapotzalco preserves the soul of the ancient Tepanec culture through its traditional neighborhoods and original villages, settlements that have withstood the passage of centuries while retaining their community identity.

These localities—founded long before the 20th-century urban expansion—guard the lacustrine memory of the northwest, where the layout of their alleys and small squares still follows the rhythm of the ancient traditions and the calendar of religious festivities that define local life.

Explore sites like San Miguel Amantla, ancient home of the amantecas or masters of feather art, as well as San Pedro Xalpa, Santa Apolonia Tezacoalco, and San Bartolo Cahualtongo, corners where the viceregal architecture of their small chapels coexists with the dynamism of neighborhood businesses.

The journey through these villages offers a unique opportunity for cultural and photographic tourism, allowing you to capture the essence of a Mexico that maintains its traditional structure.

Visitors can stroll through the main squares during patron saint festivities.

It is advisable to start the tour in the center of the borough to understand the historical connection between these settlements, guaranteeing an educational and authentic experience in the heart of the anthill.
