Travel ResourceTo Tecozautla$0.00To travel from Zempoala to Tecozautla without a car via Pachuca, you will need to take a combination of a local connection (combi or Texcoco bus) and a regional bus (Autobuses Conexión/Estrella Blanca). The trip covers two distinct legs and takes roughly 3.5 to 4 hours of total travel time.

Step-by-Step Directions

Leg 1: Zempoala to Pachuca
You first need to reach the main bus terminal in Pachuca (Central de Autobuses de Pachuca). Options:
- You can take a local blue colectivo/combi or a Texcoco bus from Zempoala (often passing near Cerrito station). Local combis to Pachuca pass frequently (every 10–15 minutes).
Dr0p-off: Ensure you take a route that goes directly to, or passes right by, the Central de Autobuses de Pachuca or the nearby Gran Patio shopping area.
Duration & Cost: Around 30 minutes; approximately $35 – $45 MXN.

Get cash if needed

Leg 2: Pachuca to Tecozautla (via Huichapan)
- Once at the Pachuca Central Bus Station, you will buy a ticket heading west toward Tecozautla.
Bus Line: Autobuses Conexión (part of the Grupo Estrella Blanca network) is the main carrier operating this route.
The Route: Most direct routes require you to buy a ticket to Huichapan, and then catch a coordinated connecting bus from the same line directly into Tecozautla. Buses depart roughly every hour.
Duration & Cost: Around 3 hours; total cost for this leg is roughly $130 – $150 MXN.

Travel Tips
Alternative Option: If you prefer not to wait for bus transfers, check BlaBlaCar Mexico. Carpooling drivers frequently post routes directly from Pachuca to Tecozautla for around $140 MXN, which cuts the second leg down to about 2 hours

If you leave Zempoala around 10:00 AM, the total journey will take between 4 and 4.5 hours, meaning you will arrive in Tecozautla between 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM.
Leaving at this time introduces a slightly longer wait at the Pachuca bus terminal due to regional bus schedules.

Projected Timeline
- 10:00 AM – 10:35 AM | Leg 1 (Zempoala to Pachuca): Taking a local combi or Texcoco bus will get you to the Central de Autobuses de Pachuca in about 30 to 35 minutes, accounting for mid-morning traffic.
- 10:35 AM – 11:15 AM | Transfer Window: You will arrive in Pachuca just after the 10:15 AM departure has left. This gives you roughly 40 minutes to buy your ticket, grab a snack, and board the next scheduled Autobuses Conexión departure at 11:15 AM.
- 11:15 AM – 2:10 PM | Leg 2 (Pachuca to Huichapan/Tecozautla): The regional Conexión bus takes just under 3 hours to travel across the state via Huichapan, dr0pping you off in Tecozautla right around 2:10 PM.

Factors That Could Affect Your Time:
- Combi Wait Times: Combis pass frequently, but if you just miss one at 10:00 AM, it might push your arrival at the Pachuca terminal closer to 10:45 AM. You will still comfortably make the 11:15 AM bus.
Traffic: Mid-morning traffic leaving Pachuca toward the west (Actopan/Ixmiquilpan highway split) is generally moderate, but roadwork can occasionally add 15–20 minutes to the regional bus segment.
