Valle de Bravo is a "Magic Town" in Mexico State. It is around 3 hours from Mexico City (CDMX) depending on where are you coming from within the city and unfortunately, also depending on the city traffic.
.
Highways are very good and have beautiful landscape scenes, Look for the Nevado de Toluca volcano in your way. To me, the trip starts as I see the forest or the volcano!
Better known as "Valle" (Valley), just like that, is a mainly touristic town, it has the "Pueblo Mágico" certificate which means has certain unique characteristics to be recognized as a place to go in Mexico. How many Magic Towns or Pueblos Magicos have you visited?
It is calm and quiet from Monday to Thursday and a little bit more busy on weekends as it is a weekend place for many coming from Mexico City (CDMX).
What to do in Valle de Bravo?
- Walk. Forget about the car and walk the beautiful streets, enjoy the adobe houses, red ceilings and stones streets.
2. The port to the lake is one of the main attractions, actually, it is not a lake, it is a dam but everybody refers to it as the lake. Here, you can take a boat tour or do acuatic sports.
3. Central Park a must do in Valle, have a nieve (close to an icecream but better, water based), an esquite (corn snack), see the people passing, doves, balloon salesman, the kiosk and the church in the back.
4. Handcrafts Market. Valle has a variety of handcrafts and boutique stores that are unique and of a very good quality.
