Valle de Bravo

With one of the loveliest colonial centers in central Mexico, the pueblo mágico of Valle de Bravo is an utter charmer and a wonderful spot for an escape from Mexico City. The setting here is reminiscent of the northern Italian lakes, with thickly wooded, mist-clad hills and red terracotta roofing used throughout the town. Valle, as it’s known, is famous for being the weekend retreat of choice for the capital’s well-connected upper classes.
