Discover the cultural, historical, gastronomic, and artisanal richness of the “Ruta en el Corazón Mexiquense” in just one day!
Visit the Cosmovitral Botanical Garden, located in downtown Toluca. This magnificent space houses the world’s largest non-religious stained glass masterpiece, created by artist Leopoldo Flores. You can also admire more than 100 species of plants from Mexico and around the world. The entrance fee is 25 pesos.
After leaving the Cosmovitral, stroll through the traditional arcades and try some artisanal green or red chorizo, along with the famous local liquor Mosco or Mosquito.
Next stop: the Charming Town of Zinacantepec, specifically the Museo Virreinal (Viceregal Museum), where you’ll find an impressive collection of religious artworks dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Don’t miss the Baptismal Font, carved from a single stone and representing tequitqui art.
After your museum visit, head to the Magical Town of Metepec to explore its pottery workshops. Admire clay creations crafted by local artisans—especially the iconic Tree of Life—and take home a piece made with love. Remember: always say no to haggling.
To wrap up your journey, and once hunger strikes, a perfect choice is to enjoy a delicious barbecue in the forest at Piedra Braza Orígenes in Ocoyoacac.
