PUEBLA

Ar you looking for colonial cities and breathtaking landscapes?

The city of Puebla was founded on April 16, 1531. It was the first city in central Mexico founded by the Spanish conquistadors that was not built upon the ruins of a conquered Amerindian settlement. Puebla is renown for its distinctive colonial architecture, savory cuisine, Talavera ceramics, onyx crafts, and textile industry.

In 1987, UNESCO designated Puebla a World Heritage City.

The indigenous language of the region, Náhuatl, is still spoken in some rural areas of the Puebla Valley. Mexican troops defeated French invaders here on May 5, 1862, at the Forts of Loreto and Guadalupe. The Mexican Revolution began in Puebla as well, on November 18, 1910.

Only 10 Km west from puebla stands the biggest pyramid ever built, Piramide of Tenampa. 450m per side and 65m high.

43Km from Puebla you can admire two of Mexico's highest mountains, The Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl ( a 5,452m active volcano )

Visit holula and enjoy the architecture of dozen of temples from the 15th century.
