From docfilm.com - The Indian village of Tepoztlan, just south of Mexico City, is a major tourist destination, the New Age capital of Mexico, a popular stopover on the backpacker trail, and a site for second homes of wealthy Mexico City residents. In spite of all these pressures, Tepoztlan has kept its own special identity. Both the town's main tourist destination and its identity stem from the pyramid above the town, sacred to the god/hero El Tepozteco. Though the locals, or "tepoztecos", are officially Christian, as one of them says, "When we are in trouble, we call on El Tepozteco, because he is our warrior spirit. But when it is time to go to heaven, we turn to the Almighty."
