The tour begins in Puebla Town Square at the scheduled time, next to the central fountain. Participants will explore links between Mexico and Europe, viewing the façade of the Puebla cathedral, which embodies Herrerian architectural style from 16th-century Spain, emphasizing geometric precision over ornate decoration.

The Spanish influence is evident at the Palafoxiana Library, where the main entrance will be reviewed to understand the history of this crucial archive, one of the earliest in the Americas. At the end of the tour, attendees can explore this literary site further, as well as other points of interest recommended by the guide, including the Regional Museum of the Mexican Revolution.

The tour proceeds to the Church of San Francisco, Puebla's first convent, followed by a visit to the artisanal market of El Parián and the Alley of the Frogs, with explanations regarding its unique name.

To conclude, the tour will visit the grounds of Santo Domingo Church and the Chapel of the Rosary, regarded as colonial jewels in Puebla's historic centre. The guided tour lasts two and a half hours, finishing in the streets of the historic centre.
