Morelos is a state in Central Mexico. Morelos is a perfect place to learn about Mexico's history and culture, visit the Xochicalco archaeological site, and the 16th-century monasteries on the slopes of Popocatepetl, which have been declared World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO.
There are some bus lines such as ADO, Pullman de Morelos and TER that leave the Taxqueña bus station in Mexico City to the different cities of the state of Morelos.
Read in the guideBus service throughout the state of Morelos is a mixed bag. There are frequent buses that can get you almost anywhere you want to go, but bus service is generally more chaotic than any other state in Mexico.
