After our arrival at the city of Cholula, we will visit a structure dedicated to the god Quetzalcoatla. The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl, is the largest known pyramid in present-day existence. Our guide will educate us on its origins as we marvel at this important religious and mythical centre from pre-hispanic times.

&ldquo;​​When in Cholula, stop and visit the pyramids. Great place to take pictures. Make sure you have sturdy shoes and sunscreen as the sun can be unforgiving.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g609126-d1432208-r825210196-Great_Pyramid_of_Cholula-San_Pedro_Cholula_Central_Mexico_and_Gulf_Coast.html" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Ann, USA</a>

Next stop is Tonantzintla to explore the indigenous Baroque style church of Santa Mar&iacute;a de Tonantzintla. This impressive building was initially built in the 16th century and stands out for its spectacular interiors decorated in gold leaf.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Cholula&rsquo;s Templo de Santa Maria Tonantzinta is another Mexican Baroque masterpiece. ...The interior is so richly ornamented that it&rsquo;s a wonder that congregants could focus on Mass.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g11804695-d9739306-r810010628-Templo_de_Santa_Maria_Tonantzintla-San_Andres_Cholula_Central_Mexico_and_Gulf_.html" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Sandy, USA</a>

We will continue our journey with a visit to the center of Puebla, popularly known as the &ldquo;City of Angels&rdquo;. Here we will begin our walking tour and stroll by Puebla&rsquo;s historic cathedral, Palafoxiana Library, Government Palace, and Antique Market.
