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>
