Tour description

A journey to the heart of the City of Angels, where history unfolds beneath your feet.

Dive into the origins of Puebla by exploring its oldest streets, hidden tunnels, and corners that have held secrets for centuries.

We begin in the El Alto neighborhood, the cradle of the city. We will walk over a buried bridge and talk about the vanished San Francisco River, vital for the development of Puebla.

We will explore the San Francisco complex, with its former convent, gardens, and temple. Here, you will learn about the inspiring story of Fray Sebastián de Aparicio, the traveling monk who opened the roads of this land.

We will visit iconic buildings such as the city's first church, the Alto market, the old municipal palace, and the Almoloya washhouses, where we will discover a true entrance to a secret tunnel full of history.

We will walk along the San Francisco Promenade until we reach the slopes of the Cerro de Loreto, where, in addition to the landscape, we will enjoy the urban art that decorates this area and adds a modern touch to the city's history.

We will finish by crossing into the Xanenetla neighborhood area. Its streets are a canvas of urban art, tradition, and popular spirit that invites you to discover secrets, unexpected corners, and the authentic essence of Puebla.

Templo y convento franciscano de la impresión de las llagas de San Francisco

It is one of the first sets of buildings that were built to inaugurate the city in 1531. The Franciscan religious order was one of the first to arrive in Mexico and to be the first humanist contact with the locals.

Outside visit

Paseo San Francisco

The Paseo San Francisco is a living testimony of the viceregal architecture that characterizes Puebla and much of the center of the country. Buildings with quarry facades, wrought iron balconies and red-tiled roofs protrude along cobblestone streets that have been restored and carefully preserved over time.
