Puebla Travel Guide - Horizon Guides

Overview
Itineraries

The capital of the Puebla Municipality and one of Mexico’s biggest cities, Puebla’s well-preserved historic centre is home to 70 churches and a wealth of elegant colonial architecture, earning its nickname “the city of angels”. Once known as a symbol of virtue and conservatism — Puebla state remains the wealthiest Catholic diocese in Mexico — the city is currently undergoing a cultural and touristic revolution. With a dynamic art and crafts scene (the region is known for its fine Talavera ceramics), multiple universities and rich culinary heritage, Puebla easily deserves a few days of your time.

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.
