Museo de la Lucha para la Tierra

South of Mexico City


In Anenecuilco, 6km south of Cuautla, what’s left of the adobe cottage where Zapata was born (on August 8, 1879) is now the Museo de la Lucha para la Tierra. There is an impressive mural here of Zapata, but otherwise there is little to see for anybody but die-hard fans of the revolutionary.
