Huamantla Walking Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet at Hotel Las Candelas to start this guided tour of Huamantla, the first of the Pueblos Mágicos in Tlaxcala. This designation is awarded to municipalities with significant cultural heritage.

Our tour will cover key sites in Huamantla, including the Convent of San Luis and its parish church, which date back to colonial times. We will then visit the Basilica de la Caridad and Casa de la Cultura, which consists of eight rooms utilized for workshops and exhibitions, originally constructed between the 18th and 19th centuries as a school.

Continuing our walk, we will stop at the National Puppet Museum, which features an extensive collection of puppets from around the world including India, Indonesia, France, and Spain. A highlight of the exhibition is the puppets created by the Rosete Aranda brothers, notable figures in the puppet industry in Latin America and Europe.

After an hour and a half, we will conclude the tour and return to the meeting point for farewells.
