Puebla and Cholula Day Trip Itinerary

Having picked you up at your hotel, we'll travel east from Mexico City, crossing the mountains by motorway, offering views of the Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanoes.

Our first stop will be Cholula, the oldest continuously inhabited city in America. We'll visit the archaeological area, dominated by the Cholula Great Pyramid (Tlachihualtépetl), the largest pyramid in the world, hidden behind a mountain. At the peak of the pyramid, you'll find the church of Our Lady of Remedies.

The tour will then continue to Puebla, known as "The City of Angels." In Puebla, you will have free time to eat and sample the regional cuisine, famous for mole poblano, a specialty of the city.

After the meal, we will explore the historic center of Puebla, noted for its colonial architecture, listed as World Heritage by UNESCO. Key sites include the Plaza de las Armas, the Cathedral, and the Santo Domingo Church.

Before returning to Mexico City, we'll make a final stop at an artisanal market, where you can find fine ceramic pieces known as Talavera pottery.
