Your journey begins with pickup from your accommodation in Puebla, followed by a scenic drive to Cholula, home to the largest pyramid in the world by volume. Upon arrival at the Cholula Archaeological Zone, explore the Great Pyramid, an impressive pre-Hispanic structure with 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.)

After discovering Cholula’s ancient past, immerse yourself in one of Puebla’s most iconic artistic traditions with a visit to a Talavera workshop. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, this centuries-old craft is known for its hand-painted ceramic tiles and pottery. Witness artisans at work, learn about the intricate process of making authentic Talavera, and see how each unique piece is carefully crafted.

Next, visit the Church of San Francisco Acatepec, an architectural masterpiece famous for its stunning Talavera-tiled façade. This vibrant and intricate design makes it one of Mexico’s most visually striking churches. Step inside to admire its beautifully decorated interior.

Continue to the Church of Santa María Tonantzintla, a breathtaking example of indigenous Baroque art. The entire interior is covered in ornate carvings, gold leaf, and vivid imagery, blending pre-Hispanic symbolism with Catholic influence.

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