Things to Do in Puebla
Puebla awaits you with history, art, and flavor at every step! Explore its streets, traditions, and most representative settings in an experience full of character. Each point reveals the richness that distinguishes this city.
We will start at the Zócalo, the central square surrounded by arcades, perfect for feeling the essence of the city. Then we will continue to the Chapel of the Rosary, famous for its gold-covered interior, and pass by La Victoria, one of the first shopping centers in the country, where the old and the modern coexist in the same space.
The route continues at the Regional Museum of the Mexican Revolution, a mansion that revives key moments in history. After that, we will delve into the Artist's Quarter, full of workshops and galleries where you can see creators in action and taste the famous mole poblano.
We will also visit the El Parián Market, perfect for crafts and Pueblan snacks, and the Alley of the Frogs, famous for its antiques and festive weekend atmosphere.

Cholula is a place where time overlaps in every corner. On this tour, you will 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 will visit iconic places 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 will walk through places that still hold the essence of a legendary past, remembering how the countless pre-Hispanic sanctuaries were replaced by some of the most beautiful churches in Mexico. Each stop is a window to a different era: from the viceregal splendor to the ancestral roots that still beat beneath the ground.
The tour culminates at the foot of the hill, where the largest pyramid base in the world stands, crowned by the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies. And the best part: at the end, you will have the opportunity to visit this temple and contemplate one of the most impressive views of the valley and the volcanoes that guard the region.
An experience to fall in love with Cholula, exploring its treasures through the local perspective of those who know it best: its inhabitants.👣
