San Juan Ocotepec is a small village on the slope of Popocatepetl volcano. Traditional dress is limited to a few elderly ladies. There was traditional dance at the town festival on June 24th; interestingly the dancers were mostly women.

The town church was in good shape and well decorated for the festival. The way the churches are adorned in these villages is an arch around the church entrance. Some places use real flowers but here they used a plastic material which lasts a lot longer. The sacred heart cross was also decorated in a similar manner. The other pictures are of the festival setting and the surrounding area. |
