Buena Vista means “Good Views” they could have used a better superlative because the views are amazing. The Zempoala river valley runs to the left and the canyons formed by the other rivers on the municipality of the right.

This town is an example of what is going on in the entire region. If the views were great from the town’s central area, well… they were much better after we climbed the mountain to find the last woman in traditional clothing. She explained that she didn’t feel comfortable wearing western clothing, which is exactly what her daughter said about wearing traditional clothing.
