Itinerary
On the way to Puebla you will have an opportunity to enjoy breathtaking mountains views and make a stop in a little town called Cholula, where you can climb the most unusual pyramid in the world. From mathematical point of view Cholula´s pyramid is the tallest construction ever made by ancient people. By the governmental orders this pyramid was never fully excavated. Covered by trees and greenery, this pyramid looks more like a mountain with a catholic church and observation deck right on the top of it, where you can contemplate a breathtaking view and take memorable pictures.
After visiting Cholula, Puebla or how it is usually called by locals “City of Angels” is waiting for us. Thanks to colorful, fairytale streets, decorated with hand made tiles, a great number of monumental catholic cathedrals the city totally worth to be called “City of Angels”. Puebla is also one of the most important gastronomical centers of Mexico, the birthplace of many traditional Mexican dishes. The visit to local market where you will be able to taste a “real Mexican food" will prove it to you.
Biblioteca Palafoxiana, the first public library of the Americas, was founded in 1646 by bishop Juan de Palafox. He donated 5,000 of his own books to the Catholic seminary he had recently created in Puebla, Mexico.
