Tour description

Cholula is a place where time overlaps at every turn. On this tour, you'll discover how the city transformed from the days of the viceroyalty, with Baroque jewels and Churrigueresque details, to the living traces of the great Mesoamerican civilization.


During the tour, we'll visit iconic sites such as the Parish of San Pedro, the Royal Chapel with its 49 domes, and the Convent of San Gabriel, one of the oldest in Mexico. We'll walk through places that still preserve the essence of a legendary past, recalling how countless pre-Hispanic sanctuaries were replaced by some of Mexico's most beautiful churches. Each stop is a window into a different era: from the splendor of the viceroyalty to the ancestral roots that continue to beat beneath the earth.

The tour culminates at the foot of the hill, where the world's largest pyramidal base stands, crowned by the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies. And best of all: at the end, you'll have the opportunity to visit this temple and take in one of the most impressive views of the valley and the volcanoes that guard the region.

A walking tour to fall in love with Cholula, exploring its treasures through the eyes of those who know it best: its inhabitants ✨.
