San Pedro Totoltepec: Local History and Crafts

San Pedro Totoltepec offers several ways to explore its local history: the Parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol, the Tototepec Codex and the parish archive. There are also musical events and the Tienda de Artesanías CASART at Toluca Airport. If you are weighing up culture, local products and travel logistics for a trip, you will find different topics here to help with your planning.

Church, Codex and Local History

The Parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol is a landmark in San Pedro Totoltepec. The Tototepec Codex highlights the arrival of Christianity and the adoption of Saint Peter as patron saint. The Codex also mentions Antonio de Mendoza as the official distributor of lands. This detail is part of the account in the Codex; it can be considered a distinct historical aspect alongside the religious history.

The Tototepec Codex is catalogued in San Pedro Totoltepec, Toluca de Lerdo, Estado de México, as comprising 13 folios and measuring 24.8 × 22.5 cm. These precise details about its extent and format give the historical record a tangible form. The parish archive of San Pedro Totoltepec also preserves historical documents produced by the parish itself. The Codex and the parish archive thus represent two different ways to learn about local history: the Codex highlights specific historical themes, while the archive preserves documents from the parish’s work.

Music and Local Culture

The parish church is also associated with musical events. A concert in the “Orquesta Cerca de Ti” programme was scheduled there for 29 January 2026 at 7:00 pm as part of the community’s patron saint festival. More than 500 people attended a performance by the Orquesta Filarmónica de Toluca at the parish church. Music and local religious history are thus two tangible aspects of cultural life in San Pedro Totoltepec. If you are interested in this area, you can include the church, the Tototepec Codex and the history of the patron saint festival as distinct topics in your travel plans.

Crafts and Products at CASART

The Tienda de Artesanías CASART at Toluca Airport in San Pedro Totoltepec sells artisanal food and drink products. These include liqueurs, mezcal, coffee beans, salsas and jams. The selection brings together different types of products, from drinks to condiments and spreads. CASART also explains to visitors the significance and production techniques of the crafts on offer. For travellers interested in crafts and products as well as local history, this offers another way to explore San Pedro Totoltepec.

Getting Here and Choosing Where to Stay

Aeropuerto Internacional de Toluca lists its address as San Pedro Totoltepec, Toluca, Estado de México. Direct bus services to its facilities run from Mexico City and Toluca. These are practical travel details you can take into account when planning. When looking for a holiday rental, it is worth first considering which topics matter to you during your stay: cultural and historical sites, music, artisanal food and drink products, or access via the airport.
