Cholula
and Puebla
Departure
to Cholula, “the city of churches.” According to legend,
when the conquistadores arrived they thought they saw a great number
of towers and domes and exclaimed to have seen “as many as
the days in a year.” Hence the myth that Cholula had 365 churches,
when in reality it possesses only 39. We’ll visit the CONVENTO
DE SAN GABRIEL, the most impressive, and the CAPILLA REAL, which
was inspired by the great mosque of Cordoba in Spain. We’ll
also visit the GRAN PIRAMIDE, the largest pyramid ever built in
Mesoamerica. This afternoon we arrive in Puebla, declared a World
Heritage Site in 1987. Puebla has managed to preserve part of its
old character and possesses some of the most important colonial
works of art in Mexico. Your city tour includes the majestic CATHEDRAL,
the second-largest in the country and regarded by some as the finest
in Mexico.
