- Airport: Aeropuerto Internacional General Mariano Matamoros, IATA code CVJ.
- Location: Temixco, about 15 km from Cuernavaca.
- Flight planning: Confirm passenger service with your airline or the airport before booking.
- Onward trip: Cuernavaca-to-Tepoztlán bus and road figures do not describe the full CVJ-to-Tepoztlán journey.
Where is Cuernavaca Airport in relation to Tepoztlán?
CVJ is in Temixco, southwest of Cuernavaca, while Tepoztlán lies beyond Cuernavaca; the published road figures cover the Cuernavaca-to-Tepoztlán leg, not the whole trip from the airport. The airport address is Km. 5 Carretera Acatlipa-Tetlama, Temixco, Morelos. The municipal tourism catalog describes a 17 km free-road route from Cuernavaca to Tepoztlán and estimates about 45 minutes for that leg.
That estimate is useful for understanding the onward portion, but it is not an airport-to-town driving time. For a different arrival point, the Mexico City airport route to Tepoztlán involves separate transport instructions.
Does Cuernavaca Airport have passenger flights?
CVJ has infrastructure for commercial flights and regional airlines, but you should confirm that your specific passenger flight is operating before making plans around it. The airport does not provide a current passenger timetable or confirm scheduled service.
The airport publishes operating hours of 7:00 to 19:00; hours and flight availability can affect arrival planning, so check the official site before you go.
How do you get from CVJ to Tepoztlán?
Arrange a road transfer from the airport, or first travel into Cuernavaca and continue from there; the bus details begin in the city, not at CVJ. No confirmed scheduled public bus directly from the airport to Tepoztlán is established by the route information, so verify any proposed connection before relying on it.
The airport describes passenger transport operators serving routes between Morelos and Mexico City, and another company serving destinations including Cuernavaca International Airport. Those descriptions do not confirm a current CVJ-to-Tepoztlán service or timetable. Ask an operator directly whether it will collect you at CVJ and take you to Tepoztlán.
Tepoztlán’s municipal tourism catalog and the state tourism site describe public transport from Cuernavaca, with journey times ranging from 35 to 60 minutes and fares from $35 to $37 MXN. Ometochtli buses depart from the Adolfo López Mateos market; combis leave from Glorieta de la Paloma de la Paz every 15 minutes.
The municipal catalog also describes an Estrella Roja bus toward Yautepec that stops in Tepoztlán, departing from the terminal at Galeana and Cuauhtemotzin in central Cuernavaca. Confirm current departures and fares before setting out.
How much time should you allow for the onward journey?
Keep the airport-to-town drive separate from the published Cuernavaca-to-Tepoztlán estimates. The municipal catalog gives about 45 minutes for the 17 km free-road leg from Cuernavaca, but does not give a complete CVJ-to-Tepoztlán drive estimate. The 78-minute car figure is from Hotel Puerto Villamar to the airport, not a guaranteed journey time from CVJ to Tepoztlán.
If you travel through Cuernavaca by bus, allow for the separate trip from the airport to the city and any wait before continuing. The catalog’s bus duration applies to its Cuernavaca-to-Tepoztlán options; it does not include getting from the airport to a bus departure point.
The catalog also describes a 19 km toll-road option toward Mexico City, estimated at 15 minutes with a toll of $18 pesos, but this is not a full airport-to-Tepoztlán route.
Planning arrival around Tepoztlán
Settle the airport pickup or the first leg into Cuernavaca before your flight, then confirm the onward connection separately. Once you know how you will reach town, the route between Hotel Puerto Villamar and Tepoztlán town centre can help with planning the final part of your arrival.
For a door-to-door transfer, confirm the pickup location, destination and total fare with the operator. For a bus-based journey, check how you will reach the Cuernavaca departure point and whether a connecting service will run when you arrive. Do not treat the city-to-town road or bus estimates as covering the airport leg.
