Other major fiestas include Day of the Dead (October 31 to November 2), Semana Santa (Easter), and Christmas.

Located just outside the city center is the Cuicatlán Botanical Garden, which features trails that meander through a dry tropical forest.

Ecotourism spots include San Jose De Chilar, Santiago Quiotepec, and Santa Maria Tecomovaca.

These sites offer green macaw sightseeing tours, guided nature walks, hiking, mountain biking, horseback ridings, kayaking, cabins, camp grounds, and ancient ruins.

Cuicatlán is home to the Chilhuacle, or chili huatle pepper, which is in season in late August and September.
