This guided excursion to Cholula from Puebla offers an opportunity to delve into one of Mexico's most ancient locations while also discovering the art of Talavera pottery through a factory visit.
Cholula & Talavera Factory Tour
We will commence our journey by picking you up from your hotel in Puebla at the scheduled time, heading towards the archaeological wonder of Cholula, renowned as one of the oldest archaeological sites in Mexico.
The next two hours will be dedicated to exploring this magnificent site, home to the largest pyramid in Mesoamerica. Interestingly, experts believe it surpasses even the pyramid of Giza in size!
While the Great Pyramid of Cholula remains partially unexcavated, we will navigate through accessible sections. Our first stop will be the Patio of the Altars, known for its three symmetrical altars that add an air of mystery. Following this, we'll ascend to the pyramid's summit, where we will find the stunning 16th-century Church of Los Remedios.
Following our exploration of Cholula, the next highlight will be the Church of Santa Maria Tonantzintla, admired for its captivating examples of popular baroque art. Shortly after, we will visit the Church of San Francisco Acatepec, a remarkable structure distinguished by its exquisite ceramic mosaics and red brick façade.
To conclude our adventure, we will visit a Talavera pottery factory, learning about its rich history while witnessing the craftsmanship behind various ceramics, including pots, plates, and artistic pieces unique to this traditional technique.
We will wrap up our excursion with a return to your hotel in Puebla, aiming to conclude the day approximately 5-6 hours after the initial pickup.
