Tlaxcala is 120 km from the capital, Mexico City. The closest airport is at the south-western Puebla city, around 85 km away.
The annual temperature is around 15°C, and it usually does not vary much during the year. There are short spells of rain in the summer months (June–September). Winters can be sunny and dry, albeit cool.
The population of Tlaxcala is more than 15,000. Tlaxcala state is the smallest of Mexico’s states and exports mainly textiles, chemicals and some pharmaceuticals.
