Tehuixtla – Swimming Pools, Archaeology and Feria

Tehuixtla offers several distinct reasons to visit: two swimming resorts, archaeological traces at the Chapel of San Pedro Apóstol, and the Feria del Queso, Pan y Rompope. If you’re looking for a hotel in Tehuixtla, you can first decide what to focus on—swimming and relaxation, pre-Hispanic history, or the Feria—and then check the relevant travel arrangements.

Swimming Resorts in Tehuixtla

ISSSTEhuixtla is a recreational swimming resort open to the general public. In 2025, it marked four decades as a gathering place for families and visitors from across Mexico. El Regadío is a community-run swimming resort in Tehuixtla that offers families an affordable place to relax and uses water from the spring of the same name. It has changing rooms, a swimming pool and a splash pool.

Getting to the Swimming Resorts

Getting to the two swimming resorts requires different directions. From the southern bus station at Metro Taxqueña, take a bus to Jojutla de Juárez. There, transfer to the Route 8 shared minibus, which stops in front of Balneario ISSSTEhuixtla. Check the latest route details before traveling.

El Regadío is reached via a rural road near Balneario ISSSTEHUIXTLA; unpaved roads lead to the town from the road toward Chisco. The differing information about bus stops and rural roads makes it sensible to plan separately for each resort.

Archaeology and Film History

On the south side of the Chapel of San Pedro Apóstol, you can see parts of the pre-Hispanic platforms of the ancient Teocalli of the Tlahuica lordship through an archaeological viewing window. They date from the Middle to Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerica, dated to 1200–1521 AD. The specific location, archaeological viewing window and dates make this a clearly defined point of interest for travelers interested in pre-Hispanic history.

Another cultural connection is film history: Tehuixtla was a filming location hub for movies from Mexico’s Golden Age of Cinema, including films featuring El Santo. This film history offers a different historical perspective alongside the archaeological platforms.

The distinction is clear when choosing a cultural focus: the viewing window draws attention to material evidence of the Tlahuica lordship, while the filming-location history focuses on movies from Mexico’s Golden Age of Cinema. Tehuixtla thus brings together archaeological and film-history connections.

Feria del Queso, Pan y Rompope

The Feria del Queso, Pan y Rompope has become a tradition in Tehuixtla; in 2025, it held its ninth edition. Producers of cheese, bread, rompope and handicrafts from Morelos, Puebla, Oaxaca and Michoacán took part in the 2025 edition. The Feria recorded 4,550 visitors in 2026. These figures answer different questions: the 2025 information focuses on the edition and participating producers, while the 2026 information gives the recorded visitor count.
