By car:
Via Cuernavaca
From Mexico City, take the motorway to Cuernavaca. Once in Cuernavaca, follow the morotway until the exit to Cuautla-Civac. Take the road to Cuautla-Civac, which passes through Jiutepec and Cañón de Lobos. You’ll eventually see the junction that takes you to the centre of Yautepec. Don´t take it; keep going until you see the exit to Jojutla (on your right). Make a right there and follow the signs to Jojutla-Las Estacas. Exactly 5 km (3.1 miles) after this right turn, you’ll see the Hotel “Villas el Trebol” on your left, and still further ahead a cattle-guard (parallel steel bands crossing the road). Some 50 m past the cattle-guard turn left on a little street where you’ll see the bus stop ‘Los Nardos’ on the corner. On this street, some 200 m ahead you’ll see on your right the gate to Chintamani (marked with the number 16).

Imediately after the latter, take the exit that leads to Yautepec. Go through Yautepec (following the main road all straight on) until you get out on the other side of town, to the road Cuautla-Cuernavaca. Turn left, towards Cuautla. Soon after, you’ll see the exit to Jojutla (on your right). Make a right there and follow the signs to Jojutla-Las Estacas. Exactly 5 km (3.1 miles) after this right turn, you’ll see the Hotel “Villas el Trebol” on your left, and still further ahead a cattle-guard (parallel steel bands crossing the road). Some 50 m past the cattle-guard turn left on a little street where you’ll see the bus stop ‘Los Nardos’ on the corner.
