What to expect
Upon arriving in the city of Cholula, we will visit the on-site museum, the tunnels—where you can see why this is considered the largest pyramid in the world—and the archaeological site. We will then ascend to the Shrine of Our Lady of Remedies, a church perched on the edge of the pyramid’s hill.
Later, we will visit the churches of Santa María Tonantzintla and San Francisco Acatepec, both unique for their interior decoration where indigenous motifs blend with Catholic elements.
The natives of Tonantzintla needed to depict Tlaloc’s sky, the rain god, on the chapel’s dome. Each face you see is not an angel but a native who died from a lightning strike or drowning and was reborn in this celestial realm.
Next, in the city of Puebla, we will taste local cuisine at Fonda de Santa Clara, renowned for serving traditional dishes of Puebla, such as mole poblano, chalupas, and three-mole enchiladas.
After our meal, we will take a walk to visit the Chapel of the Rosary, Candy Street, the Parian Market, and the Alley of the Frogs, concluding our tour at Puebla’s Cathedral. At the end, those who wish may enjoy some free time to explore on their own. Once this visit is complete, we will return to Mexico City.
Note: On Mondays, the Chapel of the Rosary closes at 12:30 p.m. If your tour is on a Monday, visiting the chapel will be optional, and in that case, we will look into adjusting the scheduled itinerary.
Meet the mother of all Mexicans and be captivated by the grandeur of the 'City of the Gods' in Teotihuacan, as well as the story of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
