Main Square of Tenango del Aire

Highlight • Settlement

A good route for training and exploring. The climb toward Juchitepec is very good, or if you prefer the easy exit, the downhill route toward Temamantla or Cocotitlán, and from there, a flat route to Chalco. There are more climbs if you return toward Amecameca. It all depends on where you started your ride. Those of us coming from Xochimilco face more climbs.
The pavement is in poor condition, but without so many potholes, the vibration from your handlebars won't stop for several kilometers.
The view of the volcanoes is wonderful.
The effort against the wind will be another challenge that adds to the effort.
There are many places to refuel.
It's a well-traveled route, and you'll find many cyclists along the way.
The central plaza is pretty and well-maintained, with its flowerbeds, the clock tower, statues, and its kiosk.

Juchitepec–Loma Scenic Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A descent to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the volcanoes or an 8km climb to La Loma, which means the route is almost at the end of its climbs.
If you're going downhill, the asphalt has some potholes and sections in poor condition, but overall the pavement is good, and the curves are both respectable and enjoyable at good speeds. On the slope, you can enjoy your maximum speed.
If you're going uphill, don't forget to carry fluids because the heat can be intense at times, and the maximum incline of 12% will be a nightmare without hydration or carbohydrates. There's plenty of supplies in Juchitepec.

View of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl from La Loma

Highlight • Viewpoint

La Loma, a classic cycling spot where the climb from San Gregorio ends (if you're coming from Xochimilco), is also the crowning glory when coming from Tlayacapan (30 km, almost all uphill, 1,200 m total climb) or Juchitepec (8 km, 350 m total climb).
You can enjoy the view and some quesadillas. Weather permitting, you'll be able to see the volcanoes in the distance. Whether you're heading elsewhere, a stop here is definitely a must. Enjoy your trip safely!

View of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl Volcanoes

Highlight • Viewpoint

The advice here is to get there, going up here is already quite a merit for those who are not used to climbing by bike or are new to this, for the experienced it is a mere requirement to go up here to get to another side and perhaps return right here . However or wherever you go, stop for some quesadillas, coffee, pulque or other classic road food or maybe just to rest for a moment or wait for the stragglers to continue the route. Normally there is quite a lot of wind and it is cold so you need a windbreaker or to put up with the cold. The view of the volcanoes is wonderful when the weather allows it.

San Lorenzo Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful place of passage, just to enjoy the view while pedaling or driving to a better stop or destination, although it is not for "mandatory" since it is on the road, you can see from above the mountains and the villages of the South. Don't forget to turn when you go uphill concentrating on your bike. ...smile...

Xochimilco Welcome Arch

Highlight • Monument

This colorful arch welcomes you to Xochimilco (or bids you farewell). It's currently in poor condition but still noticeable.
At this point on the climb toward La Loma, you can stop for refreshments if necessary, or simply continue on to your destination or training goal.
Fun fact: There's almost always a man at his stall at this point with his dogs and loud music.
