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.

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

After visiting this archaeological site, we'll head to Tepeyahualco around 1 pm, where you'll have free time for lunch. Following that, 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 metres deep, nestled in a volcanic crater. You can observe carbonate sediments along its shores resembling a coral reef.

We'll then return to Puebla, arriving at the hotel by 5 pm.
