Altaculombo COA“Atlacomulco State of Mexico has a reputation for housing a secretive political organization that pulls all the strings behind the scene. The Atlacomulco group is notorious for denying its own existence.
For us it is the city on the crossroads. To the south is Toluca to the North Queretero. West is Guadalajara and Morelia, and to the East the Arco Norte takes you around Mexico city and onward to Puebla and points south.
