Overview

Unlike traditional tours, this experience is designed for you to get to know Cholula through the perspective of a local guide, combining history, culture, and spectacular views in a comfortable and personalized tour.

You will explore the Site Museum and the archaeological zone, where you will learn about the impressive pre-Hispanic legacy of the region. The Site Museum and the archaeological zone are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays; on those days, the tour continues with an exterior visit, maintaining the historical explanation and enjoying excellent views of the pyramid.

After you go up to the viewpoint of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, from where you can admire unique views of the volcanoes and the city of Puebla.

The tour continues with a visit to two jewels of Mexican Baroque: the Temple of San Francisco Acatepec and the Church of Santa María Tonantzintla, famous for their extraordinary mix of indigenous symbolism and local art.
