La Magdalena Tlatlauquitepec is a small village in the rural hills of Puebla (state) in eastern Mexico. The town is known for its rugged outdoor scenery and for active outdoor explorations. It is an area with an abundance of rivers, waterfalls, and tranquil pools. It attracts outdoorsmen like rock climbers and hikers. Although it bears the designation of Pueblo Mágico, it's really a poster child that proves how badly watered down the program has become since not only is the population far below the government guidelines, the town also lacks any tourism infrastructure of any kind. Travelers who are seeking cultural value, sites of historic interest, or great culinary or artistic traditions should avoid this town.

Small neoclassical church built in the 18th century. The church is lightly decorated with a clean, serene feeling. It has two belfries, one notably larger than the other and a single nave that feels bright and humble. It's a pretty church, but there is nothing remarkable about it.
