Sierra de Tepoztlan explained

Sierra de Tepoztlan or Tepozteco Mountain is located near the village of Tepoztlán, a Pueblo Mágico, in Morelos, Mexico. The mountain range, "vulnerable to landslides, erosions, and flooding", contains only small areas of land which are appropriate for cultivation. It contains the ruins of a small, pre-Hispanic, Ometochtli temple, known as El Tepozteco. It is believed that there were a number of settlements at one time at the mountain base.

The Sierra is in El Tepozteco National Park, which was established in 1937.^[1]
