Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation in Puebla, followed by a short drive to Cholula, home to the largest pyramid in the world by volume. Upon arrival at the Cholula Archaeological Zone, explore the Great Pyramid, admire its vast structure, and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding volcanoes. (Note: The archaeological site is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so on these days, the visit will be from the outside.)
After visiting the pyramid, take a walk through Cholula’s charming streets, where history blends with a vibrant modern atmosphere. Enjoy the colourful colonial architecture, and discover why Cholula is known as the city of 365 churches, with beautiful domes decorating the skyline.
Next, travel to Puebla, a UNESCO World Heritage city, and embark on a walking tour of its historic centre. Stroll through the Zócalo, Puebla’s lively main square, and visit the Puebla Cathedral, one of the most impressive in Latin America, featuring stunning Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
Continue to the Palafoxiana Library, the first public library in the Americas (subject to availability), where centuries-old books and manuscripts are preserved. Walk down the famous Calle de los Dulces, a street filled with traditional Puebla sweets, where you can try iconic treats like tortitas de Santa Clara and camotes.
The tour also includes a visit to the Chapel of the Rosary, an extraordinary Baroque masterpiece, lavishly decorated with gold leaf details and intricate designs, making it one of Mexico’s most breathtaking religious sites.
Finally, explore the Artist’s Quarter, a lively area filled with murals, artisan shops, and vibrant local culture.
After a day filled with history, culture, and colonial beauty, return to your accommodation in Puebla with unforgettable memories of this incredible region.
