We will cross the mountains to the east of Mexico City on a road with beautiful landscapes and impressive views of the mythical Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanoes to head towards Puebla and Cholula.
Cholula
Our first destination will be Cholula, one of the oldest settlements in Mexico. There we will visit the Great Pyramid of Cholula, whose construction archaeologists still do not know when it began, but it is estimated that in 300 B.C.

Later we will go to the center of Puebla, the City of Angels. There you will have free time to have lunch (on your own) and enjoy the Mexican flavors. The gastronomic variety of Puebla is great: we can choose from a traditional cemita (delicious sandwich prepared with local ingredients) to the famous chiles en nogada, or a mole poblano, a laborious dish based on chilies, chocolate and various spices.
Then we will visit the historic center of the city on foot, and we will see buildings that date back to the colonial era, such as the Plaza de las Armas, the Cathedral and the church of Santo Domingo.
We will also stop at the handicrafts market, where you can find beautiful works made in the traditional talavera, a type of pottery exclusive to the place, or delicious traditional sweets such as the sweet potato, prepared with a slightly sweet tuber and flavored with lemon or orange. .
At the end of our visit we will return to Mexico City, where we will arrive around 7:00 p.m.
