Tepoztlan Pueblo Magico is a charming town located in the state of Morelos, Mexico. Known for its rich cultural history and stunning natural surroundings, Tepoztlan has been designated as a Pueblo Magico, or "magical town," by the Mexican government. The town is nestled in the foothills of the Tepozteco Mountain, which is home to the ancient Tepozteco Pyramid. This pyramid is one of the main attractions in Tepoztlan, and visitors can hike up the mountain to reach the pyramid and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Tepoztlan is also famous for its vibrant weekend market, where locals and tourists alike gather to buy and sell a variety of goods, including handicrafts, fresh produce, and traditional Mexican food. The market is a lively and colorful affair, with vendors shouting their wares and shoppers haggling for the best prices.
If you're a Major League fan, or simply hoping for some magic at Progressive Field this year, consider buying the Jobu figurine as an investment in the franchise. (Just don't steal his rum).
I took the prototype to a sports bar recently with some friends, Suciu wrote, and we had people taking pictures with it, older ladies knowing the name, and guys that were busting each others balls for not knowing who he is.

There's a Company Exclusively Selling Licensed Jobu Figurines from Major League
Lifelong chums Scott Suciu and Matt Nebeker, of Phoenix, Ariz., have been obsessed with Major League since childhood. Go figure.
In 2009, they thought it'd be fun to buy a Jobu figurine online. Jobu is of course the voodoo doll of big-hitting Cuban refugee Pedro Cerrano in the 1989 film, (played by Dennis Haysbert, long before the Allstate gig). But to Suciu's and Nebeker's dismay, they couldn't find one. Jobu was nowhere to be found.
They promptly took matters into their own hands and created their own Jobu replica, modeling him out of clay. In casual conversations online, they realized others wanted one too.
Now, with official licensing from the film and a production contract in China, the Jobus are nearly ready for purchase at Jobulifestyle.com. The figurine will sell for $29.99, and Suciu said he's hoping to have them ready to ship by the end of spring training.
"The packaging may be the coolest idea we've had so far," Sucio wrote Scene in an email. "We are making the packaging of the figure to look like Pedro Cerrano's locker, hopefully complete with a shrine, etc. The outside of the locker will have photos of players like Wild Thing, Dorn, Lou Brown, Taylor."
Suciu said that he and Nebeker have already found a pretty robust niche market for the doll — baseball teams looking for luck, wives looking for Christmas gifts for their husbands — and that he's received requests from as far away as Australia.
"I took the prototype to a sports bar recently with some friends," Suciu wrote, "and we had people taking pictures with it, older ladies knowing the name, and guys that were busting each others balls for not knowing who he is."

Reviews for "Tepoztkan's Healing Energy: A Guide to Alternative Therapies."
- Maria - 2 stars - I was not impressed with the "Tepoztkan pueblo nagico" at all. The main problem I had was with the crowds of tourists that swarmed the place. It was impossible to move around and enjoy the sights without being constantly bumped into or pushed. Additionally, I found the locals to be quite unfriendly and unhelpful. Overall, I would not recommend visiting this place if you are looking for a peaceful and authentic Mexican experience.
- Carlos - 1 star - My visit to "Tepoztkan pueblo nagico" was a complete disappointment. I had heard so much about this place and was expecting a magical and charming village, but it was far from that. The streets were dirty and narrow, making it difficult to navigate through the crowds. The attractions were also quite underwhelming, and I felt like I wasted my time and money. I would advise against visiting this place and suggest exploring other more picturesque and enjoyable destinations in Mexico.
- Sofia - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to my trip to "Tepoztkan pueblo nagico," but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The village was overcrowded with tourists, which made it hard to appreciate its unique beauty. The local vendors were also quite persistent and pushy, making it difficult to simply stroll around and take in the atmosphere. Overall, I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed with my experience in this supposedly magical town. I would advise others to reconsider visiting this place and opt for a quieter and more authentic destination in Mexico.
