Explore a pre-Hispanic city and an extraordinary volcanic landscape on the excursion to Cantona and the Alchichica lagoon.

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, located two hours away.

Upon arrival, we'll explore the courtyards, activities, houses, workplaces, and the Plaza de la Fertilidad. Cantona was reportedly one of the most important cities after the fall of Teotihuacán, with a population of 80,000.

After visiting the archaeological site, we'll proceed to Tepeyahualco around 1 pm for lunch. Following your break, we'll continue to a unique geographical site in Mexico.

We will arrive at the Alchichica Lagoon, an alkaline saline body of water up to 60 meters deep, located in a volcanic crater. If observed closely, carbonate sediments along its shores resemble a coral reef.

After the lagoon visit, we'll return to Puebla, arriving at the hotel by 5 pm.
