What you can expect

Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation in Puebla, followed by a scenic drive to Cholula, a city rich in history and culture. The first stop is the Cholula Archaeological Zone, home to the largest pyramid in the world by volume. Walk through the ancient ruins and admire the breathtaking views of the surrounding volcanoes. (Note: The archaeological site is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so on these days, the visit will be from the outside.)

Next, visit the Church of Santa María Tonantzintla, a stunning example of indigenous Baroque art. Its interior is a breathtaking display of ornate carvings, gold leaf, and vibrant indigenous iconography, blending pre-Hispanic and Catholic influences in a unique and mesmerizing way.

Continue to the Church of San Francisco Acatepec, renowned for its intricate Talavera-tiled façade, which glows in the sunlight with vibrant colors and delicate patterns. Step inside to admire its beautifully decorated altar and sacred artwork, a true reflection of Puebla’s Baroque heritage.

After exploring Cholula’s historical and artistic wonders, head to the International Museum of the Baroque, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture designed by the renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito. Inside, immerse yourself in Mexico’s Baroque legacy, with exhibitions showcasing exquisite paintings, sculptures, music, and theatrical arts that defined this grand artistic movement. Interactive displays and multimedia experiences bring the drama, opulence, and splendor of the Baroque era to life.

After a day filled with history, art, and architectural marvels, return to Puebla with drop-off at your accommodation, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Cholula’s rich past and Puebla’s artistic excellence.
