What to know before leaving MEX

At Terminal 1, find the bay in the international area between doors 7 and 8. Access it from the first level, Sala F, beside the fast-food area. At Terminal 2, go to the bay beside the terminal building, accessed from Sala D, door 4, or beside domestic arrivals.
Both terminals have ticket counters and waiting areas. Terminal 1 also has internet, fast food, souvenirs, a rest area, reading facilities and meeting facilities; Terminal 2 has internet and fast food.
How do you get from Mexico City airport to Tepoztlán by bus?
The municipal tourism catalog describes a two-bus route: take Pullman from the airport to Casino de la Selva in Cuernavaca, then take an Ometochtli bus from Mercado Adolfo López Mateos to Tepoztlán.
The catalog gives an approximate journey of 1 hour 20 minutes from the airport to Casino de la Selva, followed by about 40 minutes from the market to Tepoztlán. These are journey estimates, not a guarantee of connections or total travel time; allow for the transfer between Cuernavaca stops.
For travel from Cuernavaca Airport, see the Cuernavaca Airport-to-Tepoztlán route. For a different final leg, the catalog describes taking an airport-authorized app ride from Casino de la Selva to Tepoztlán, with an estimated journey of 30 minutes.
The ride estimate and the bus information can change, so check the official site before you go: consult AICM for airport bus details and the relevant transport operators for current service and fares.
Driving from the airport
The hotel's driving directions from Mexico City use the Mexico–Cuernavaca highway (MEX 95D), followed by the exit toward Tepoztlán. They provide a route sequence but no driving-time estimate, so plan your timing with current road and traffic conditions in mind.
If you are driving to the hotel, its address is Calle Aniceto Villamar #50, colonia Tierra Blanca, Tepoztlán, Morelos, and it has free parking. The hotel is a hotel in Tierra Blanca.
Planning the final leg to Tepoztlán
From the hotel, Tepoztlán town centre is about 13 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car. The town-centre route from the hotel to Tepoztlán’s centre covers that local leg.
General Mariano Matamoros Airport in Cuernavaca is about 78 minutes by car from the hotel. The airport-to-town arrangements differ from those for Mexico City airport.
