Top Puebla Cultural & Theme Tours

Take in rare panoramic views of Cholula from top of an open-air double-decker bus. An on-board guide provides commentary in real time to ensure you spot easy-to-miss landmarks and understand the context of the city’s ancient ruins. Unlike most bus tours, stop in the city center to enjoy lunch (own expense) or explore on your own before heading back to your accommodation in Puebla.

Cholula is considered the oldest city in America. Here is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies, the church with domes covered with tiles that the Spaniards built in the 16th century. They placed it just above the Great Pyramid, the basement that looks more like an archaeological site. The days go down and come, the people, the life. Can you imagine in the largest pyramid in the world? It is possible and is in Cholula the oldest town in Latin America, we will visit the archaeological zone, its churches and we will taste liqueurs and rompopes.

In the mountains you can find the town Zacatlán, you will distinguish the particular brightness of the mural with prehispanic inspiration that is just behind the glass bridge that rises over the Canyon of Jilgueros; with each step you will feel the immensity that accompanies the valley. You can walk on its suspension bridge over a river and feel the breeze of the waterfall. In Chignahuapan you will find the beauty that inhabits the jungle that seems to be extracted from an adventure book: the fruit trees and coffee plantations, and leaves in sight the beautiful waterfalls and the lagoon in the center. Zacatlán and Chignahuapan are towns in the mountains in the North of the Puebla´s state, visiting them will be like walking in the clouds. The dense fog slowly falls to cover the hills that surround these charming towns. Its gastronomy, crafts, wines and liquors will leave you amazed.
