Day 2

Puebla / Cholula After breakfast, meet your guide in the hotel reception for a private tour of Puebla’s historic city center. A UNESCO world heritage site, Puebla’s city center is home to more than 70 churches and thousands of colonial buildings, many covered with azulejos (ceramic tile) for which the city has become famous. Visit the ample and shady central plaza and its imposing Cathedral, along with the must see Museo Amparo, Casa de la Cultura, Teatro Principal (one of the oldest in the Americas, dating back to 1759) and more depending on time and interest. Lunch is included today and offers samplings of Puebla’s famous Mole and other regional specialties. In the afternoon, visit Cholula, famous for its many churches and especially for its Great Pyramidal temple, the largest in the world by volume. This site is noted for being the largest of its kind in Mexico, larger not only than Teotihuacan’s Pyramid of the Sun, but also far more massive than the Egyptian pyramids in terms of volume. Upon arrival, the Spanish were awed and frightened by the devout nature of the Aztec worship, and when they discovered Cholula they were amazed to see over four sites of worship. As in other places in Mexico and throughout Latin America, the Spaniards hoped to usurp the spiritual powers of the indigenous by destroying the ritual centers and building churches directly on top of the foundations of the ancient temples. Continue on to Puebla for Dinner at one of Puebla’s best including 1/2 bottle of wine/client. (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Included)
