Tour description

Explore the ancient city of Cholula, where the soul of Mesoamerica and the viceregal heritage intertwine on every street and in every temple.  


Just 30 minutes from downtown Puebla, this Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) is home to a living history dating back to 500 BC, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on the continent.

We'll begin in front of the Cholula archaeological site, one of the most impressive in Mexico. We'll circle the Great Pyramid of Tlachihualtépetl, the largest in the world by volume, and ascend to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, built on its summit, from where you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the Valley of Puebla and the guardian volcanoes.

We'll descend to visit the Convent of San Gabriel, one of the first centers of evangelization in the Americas, and the Royal Chapel of Natives, a testament to religious syncretism. We'll stroll through its cobblestone streets, discover the House of the Eagle Warrior, and walk among the arches of the Guerrero Portal, the heart of everyday and commercial life.

Connect with centuries of history, feel the power of living tradition, and fall in love with a city that endures and flourishes!
