Visiting this Magical Town is simply an aromatic and multicolored adventure. This town is home to the extraordinary multicultural music and dance festival Huey Atlixcayotl, as well as the Ex Convento del Carmen, the Church of La Merced dating from 1680, the chapel of the Third Order with its magnificent altarpiece and endless monuments full of history. This ancient indigenous capital, guarded by the Popocatépetl volcano, is in fact two cities, San Pedro and San Andrés; the seat of the largest pyramid in Mesoamerica; with almost a million cubic meters, experts say that it is bigger than that of Giza Pre-Hispanic shrines, Mudejar arches, baroque domes, convent-fortresses and boundless indigenous creativity coexist in the spiritual and artistic explosion of what is now Cholula.

If you are fluent in Spanish, the bus tour cost is very reasonable and there is much information given during the bus ride to and from Cholula and at the locations. However, we requested an English guide and the cost more than tripled. This was still fine, as we did learn a great deal from our knowledgeable guide. The guide who was booked for us forgot about the tour and the Tip team quickly found us a replacement guide. We appreciate his willingness to join us in Cholula at the last minute. Because of this, we missed all the commentary given during the bus rides. Once we joined Jose Louis in Cholula, he gave us great attention at all the stops. He is very knowledgeable and he is also a friendly and pleasant person. Because the lineup to go inside the pyramid was so long, we chose to spend the time viewing the pyramid ruins and also to first tour the small museum, near the entrance to the tunnel, which explains a great deal about the pyramid and tunnels. We also lucked into some indigenous dancers and music makers, dressed in their feathered, finery. It was wonderful! We missed walking to the top of the pyramid to see the views and the lovely church on the top. We simply did not have enough time. We did see the flyers in the Cholula square and that truly is a sight to see! We decided to return to Cholula on our own early one morning to climb the pyramid and tour the tunnel and we're very glad that we did!

Cholula is considered the oldest city in America. Here is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies, the church with domes covered with tiles that the Spaniards built in the 16th century. They placed it just above the Great Pyramid, the basement that looks more like an archaeological site. The days go down and come, the people, the life. Can you imagine in the largest pyramid in the world? It is possible and is in Cholula the oldest town in Latin America, we will visit the archaeological zone, its churches and we will taste liqueurs and rompopes.
