Driving directions from México city
Driving east from Mexico City on the toll freeway 150D (“autopista de cuota”), turn off onto Mexico 117D at San Martin Texmelucan. It is about 23 km from San Martin to Tlaxcala.
There are two ways to get to San Juan Totolac and the Quinta Amada B&B from this point. The shortest and most direct route is via our neighboring town to the west, Panotla (but the turnoff to it can be hard to find, since there is no highway sign marking it). Or you can take the Tlaxcala City turnoff and backtrack 1.5 km to San Juan Totolac.
Panotla route: Shortly after the 19 km marker, look for a pedestrian overpass with a green highway sign that reads:
Bienvendios
Ciudad de Tlaxcala
Cuna de la Nacion
Almost immediately thereafter you will see another highway sign that reads:
Campo Militar
Proximo Retorno
Shortly after that one is another reading:
Campo Militar
Panotla, Tlaxcala
The turnoff to Panotla is just after this second sign and the 20 km marker. It is a narrow paved road—the first road on your right after the second Campo Militar sign. Look for the soccer field on your right just before turning.
Follow this road to the traffic light, then turn left onto the two-lane federal highway. Continue on this road about 1 km. You will see a Pemex gas station on your left and an overpass up ahead. Cross the overpass and turn left onto the first street after the overpass. This is our street, Calle 20 Metros. Drive about halfway up the hill to La Quinta Amada, #37, on the right hand side.

Tlaxcala City route:
Stay on highway 117D until you get to Tlaxcala city and take the Tlaxcala exit. Bear to the left and get in the left hand lane. At the traffic light, turn left and cross over the overpass, then bear to your right (a highway sign will indicate “Totolac/ Mexico Libre). Follow this road about 1.5 km to our street, Calle 20 Metros. It is the last street before the overpass/bridge that crosses over to Panotla. Turn right onto Calle 20 Metros and go about halfway up the hill to La Quinta Amada B&B, #37.
There is a doorbell to the left of the wrought iron gate.
