Cantona and Alchichica Lagoon Tour

At 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Puebla and set off for the Cantona site, two hours away.

Once there, we'll explore the courtyards, activities, houses, workplaces, and the Plaza de la Fertilidad. Cantona was considered one of the most important cities after the fall of Teotihuacán, with an estimated 80,000 inhabitants.

After the visit to this archaeological site, we'll go to Tepeyahualco at around 1 pm where you'll have some free time for lunch. Following this, we'll continue the tour to a unique geographical site in Mexico.

We'll arrive at the Alchichica Lagoon, a body of alkaline saline water up to 60 meters deep, nestled in a volcanic crater. The carbonate sediments along its shores resemble a coral reef.

Afterwards, we'll head back to Puebla, arriving at your hotel at 5 pm.
