Cholula Travel Guide - Horizon Guides

Overview
Itineraries

A brief 20-minute bus ride away from Puebla, Cholula de Rivadavia has undergone a transformation in recent years, from small satellite town and occasional tour stop to a bona fide boutique destination. Boasting a rich history and more relaxed atmosphere than Puebla, Cholula is perhaps best known as the site of the Great Pyramid, an ancient shrubbery-covered temple with a Spanish church built atop its peak.

Embark on a true cultural expedition via this Mexico City to Puebla & Oaxaca tour.

Begin by experiencing the far reaches of urban Mexico City, including the fabled canals of Xochimilco and discover the Coyoacan Market for some authentic Mexican cuisine, before heading on to Frida Kahlo’s Blue House.

Travel to Teotihuacan, nearly an hour outside of the city, to tour what is considered to be one of the most important Mesoamerican archaeological sites and explore the towering Pyramids of the Sun and Moon.

Exchange big city lights for smaller, more traditional cities of Puebla and Oaxaca, wandering colonial city centers and a maze of dynamic marketplaces. Finally, dive head-first into the traditional flavors of endemic mezcal paired with authentic, local cuisine.
