There are also buses there from

The bus will take you through very scenic mountain views and drop you off in the middle of the town. Since it is a mountain town, you can either walk uphill to the Zocolo (square) where many shops and the famous church are, take a taxi, or any bus that says "Zocalo".

*'''Hotel Casa Grande''' is the cheapest digs in town ($15 for a single with shared bath). It is a 400
year
old building just off the Plazuela and is about a block from Santa Prisca and the Zocolo. Rooms are arranged around a courtyard, some are great, some are a little scruffy with semi-functional bathrooms, so ask to see a few. The rooftop terrace is really great for relaxing and looking out at the city.
