Es un Excelente para disfrutar de la tranquilidad de la naturaleza y de un relajante baño en las cristalinas aguas de su "río grande". Pasar la tarde recomiendo sus tranquila calles, sin olvidar apreciar su hermosa vegetación y su clima.

Un hotel agradable con una vista buena. El espacio es normal. Es apto para niños. No cuenta con aire acondicionado, solo ventilador. TV con cable. Aunque la comunidad de Cuicatlán es pequeña es un hotel suficiente para estar.

Me encantó el paisaje, la tranquilidad que se percibe en el pueblo, la seguridad que sientes al caminar por sus calles .... El calor húmedo hasta en eso es tolerable, los mangales son impresionantes. Me encantó

Excelente lugar, encontrás pinturas rupestres, plantas endémicas, anidación de la guacamaya verde, un paisaje semi desértico, cactáceas y frutos tropicales, un río que cruza por el pueblo y gente amable.

CUICATLAN se caracteriza, por una extensa y gran variedad de flora y fauna., así como también la historia, qué por mucho tiempo, ha escrito en nuestro bello estado de Oaxaca. Cuicatlán también cuenta con una amplia, variedad de alimentos, uno de los principales y comida típica de la región, es el "chile - caldo", un rico y especial platillo de este bello lugar. Cuicatlán nos ofrece y complace con una gran diversidad de frutas, una de las principales, que por muchos años nos ha caracterizado, es el "mango", que por su extensa variedad que hay en la región, se ha convertido en la envidia de otras regiónes, siendo unicos en tamaño, color, sabor y textura. Otra especial y deliciosa fruta, la cual se tiene el placer de disfrutar, siendo su pulpa de un color rojo intenso, como la sandre de nuestra bella región y siendo tan pequeña, posee una exquisitez en sabor qué no se compará con nada! mucho menos se olvida, llamándola, "tuna" o "jiotilla", donde solo la podrás encontrar, en una de muchas variedades de árboles míticos, llamados o conocidos como "CACTUS". Seres vivos que durante siglos han resguardando nuestro paisaje, en compañía de la extensa variedad de fauna, en la qué podemos encontrar, nutrias, venados, o simplemente desde, poder observar una pequeña hormiga roja, hasta poder admirar al gato más grande, salvaje e imponente de CUICATLAN, el temido "Puma". Toda esta riqueza de seres vivos, que aun podemos admirar, es gracias a la buena organización de cada pueblo, (llamada bienes comunales). No dejando a un lado el esfuerzo, la dedicación y el buen trabajo qué la Reserva de la Biosfera Tehuacán-Cuicatlan, desempeñan, así como el trabajo en equipo qué realizan con cada pueblo, y por ese esfuerzo realizado, podemos decir con orgullo, que nos han declarado como patrimonio mundial. También mensionar, un lugar tan genial y que no puedes perder la oportunidad de conocer, pues ten por seguro que será tu mejor experiencia, en el único, maravilloso y extraordinario mundo de la guacamalla verde., orgullo de nuestro bello Oaxaca. Así mismo cabe mensionar los edificios míticos arqueológicos; vestigios históricos, ruinas olvidadas, testigos mudos y en sus paredes describen un pasado obscuro y turbulento!... ven, disfruta con tu familia de una experiencia única e inigualable, que esperas! ¡OAXACA y "CUICATLAN"! te abren los brazos...
