Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

If you book the experience in Puebla Cathedral, you will live a guided tour of one of the most emblematic architectural treasures in Latin America. Upon arrival, you will be amazed by the imposing Renaissance facade and its towers that dominate the landscape of the Historic Center. Upon entering, you will explore its sober Baroque-style interior, with sacred artwork, golden altarpieces and an atmosphere that evokes centuries of history.

Your guide will tell you about the secrets of this temple, its construction that took more than 300 years, and the symbolism of each space, from the High Altar to the monumental organ. It is an unmissable stop to understand the spiritual, cultural and artistic richness of Puebla.

If you book this experience, in the Zócalo de Puebla you will discover the beating heart of the city. This iconic space is much more than a square: it is a meeting point full of history, surrounded by colonial buildings, traditional portals, and the majestic Cathedral. You will walk among gardens, fountains and sculptures that give life to one of the best preserved historical centers in Mexico.

During the visit, your guide will explain the evolution of the Zocalo from the viceroyal era to today, including its most important historical events and its role as a setting for celebrations, demonstrations and everyday life in the city. In addition, you will enjoy a privileged view of the surrounding architecture, perfect for memorable photos.

If you book this experience, you will finish your tour in one of the most charming places in the Historic Center: the rooftop of the Hotel Royalty. This place not only offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Zocalo de Puebla and its majestic Cathedral, but also houses a very special Poblano tradition: the "Heavenly Trago".

Here you will enjoy this emblematic drink made from mezcal poblano, carefully prepared to pay homage to the nickname of our city: Puebla de los Ángeles. While you savour this drink on one of the city’s most traditional terraces, you can relax, take unforgettable photos and close with a golden snap an experience full of history, culture and taste.
