Tenancingo Flower Market

If you like shooting photos of flowers, then Tenancingo, Mexico is your place. I've lived in nearby Villa Guerrero for almost fifteen years. There are probably more than 60 square miles of flowers surrounding our house. The Tenancingo Flower Market opens at 5 A.M. Some mornings are bigger than others. Flowers come and go all morning. Pickup trucks bring the freshly picked flowers from the fields to the market. There they are purchased by a broker and loaded into much larger diesel trucks. Once the trucks are filled they leave immediately for the Mexico City Airport where the flowers are distributed all over the world. Accomodations in Tenancingo are slim because very few tourist come through this part of Mexico. Metepec, which is considered Mexico's most modern city is only twenty-five miles north. If you are coming from Mexico City it would be best to end up spending the night in Malinalco (ruins) or Ixtapa de la Sal (water park). Especially, if you want a good meal and comfortable lodging.
