Great Pyramid of Cholula

The Archaeological Zone of Cholula has three areas enabled for its public visit, firstly the Site Museum of the Archaeological Zone of Cholula with its three permanent exhibition halls; secondly, the route inside the tunnel inside the Great Pyramid that consists of approximately 280 meters of route in the same plane, artificially illuminated and without risks that the visitor may get lost, and finally the so-called open area of the Archaeological Zone of Cholula constituted by the ceremonial patios of the south and the west of the Great Pyramid of Cholula.

1 hour
Templo de Santa Maria Tonantzintla

The church of Santa María Tonantzintla was declared a historical monument on November 11, 1933; It has four constructive stages that go from s. XVII to XX. It has a simple façade that seems not to announce the profusion of elements that are inside, presenting sculptures of clear indigenous manufacture in three niches at the front, and four in the tower, representing the evangelists carrying the message of God to the four directions.

30 minutes
Puebla Cathedra

The Cathedral Basilica of Puebla, as it is known to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception according to its Marian advocation, is the episcopal seat of the Archdiocese of Puebla. It is one of the most important buildings of the historic center declared a World Heritage Site. It has the prerogative of being the first sumptuous temple that under good designs was made in America, consecrated in 1649 it went ahead to the Metropolitan of Mexico that was dedicated in 1653.

30 minutes
Capilla del Rosario, Templo de Santo Domingo

The chapel of the Virgen del Rosario is the chapel attached to the Temple of Santo Domingo in the city of Puebla, Mexico. Work of the seventeenth century, the peak of the baroque novohispano, was described at the time as the House of Gold, as well as the eighth wonder of the world by Fray Diego de Gorozpe, in a form of 1690.

30 minutes
Biblioteca Palafoxiana

The creation of this library was approved by royal decree in December 1647 and reconfirmed by Pope Innocent X in 1648. For more than 360 years, the Palafoxiana Library, has been based in the Old College of San Juan within the Seminary founded by Palafox and Mendoza. Although the construction of the vault, as it is in our days was made in 1773, by Bishop Francisco Fabián y Fuero, who ordered the first two floors of the bookshelf to be erected, which is a fine work of the New Spain cabinetmakers They worked harmoniously the woods of ayacahuite, polocote and cedar. From this period dates the delicate altarpiece where the effigy of the Madonna of Trapani is located, oil that is presumed to be made taking as a model the sculpture that Nino Pisano made of the Virgin in the 14th century. Later, in the nineteenth century, a third level was placed because the number of volumes that were in the library had increased, 4 in fact the library has 45 058 old books.

Incredible day tour!

Wonderful day escape from CDMX to explore the beauty of Mexico! Carlos was our guide and he was terrific! Knowledgeable about everything Mexico! Every question we asked, he always had a response for. Since this was a private tour, we were able to modify the itinerary to make sure we could squeeze in a visit to Museo Internacional del Barrocco, which is a must for an architect need like me. Highly recommend this tour! Ask for Carlos as your guide!

What a great day

Best tour to Puebla!

Published on Jul, 2024

Awesome tour to Cholula and Puebla! Our guide, Bruno, was amazing. Bruno has a wealth of knowledge and is ready to answer any questions you might have. Bruno studied history and you can tell that he is very passionate about his work. Also, our group had older people that took longer to walk but Bruno was very patient and accommodating. Our driver, Lalo, was also great. He was also patient, our way back to Mexico City we ran into heavy traffic so what normally would take 3 hours took us almost 5 hours. These guys are awesome, highly recommend this tour!
