Today we're taking you on a tour of two of Puebla's "magical towns" otherwise known as
Pueblos Mexico.
These Villages were awarded this distinction for their mystical character culture and folklore.
We start our tour at one of the most iconic symbols of Puebla the Great Pyramid of Cholula
which has a Catholic Church perched on top.
from the top were able to capture the breathtaking views of Cholula down below.
did you know that this is the world's largest pyramid by volume and mass? while the Giza
Pyramids in Egypt still hold the record for the tallest pyramid, the Great Pyramid of
Cholula is roughly twice the size of Giza's biggest pyramid base.
[Music] excavations have been done over the years resulting in tunnels underneath the
church today the church still stands with a volcano "Popo" active in the background

they saw the Pyramid of Cholula already covered with vegetation as a mountain right but they
serve another pyramid that was made in honor to Quetzalcoat the feather serpent and that
pyramid was here so that pyramid was destroyed and the material was used to build the church
and the Chapels and of course.
[Music] Este es la iglesia Capilla Real de Naturales.
this town is known for its many churches there's a myth saying that there are 365 churches
here but it's just a myth there's a huge concentration of churches in Cholula very religious and
almost every month they have some sort of Celebration to a patron saint okay going inside
famous for the 49 domes
[Music] You can walk o the roof of the domes but with
special permission.
[Music]
[Music] this church has more of a Moorish feeling inside kind of like the Alhambra you
can see all the columns in the cemetery
This church took us completely back in time and since there were hardly any visitors around
of Puebla is the Talavera tiles or ceramic tiles that are hand-painted and one of a kind
found all alongside the facades of buildings haha next We Tour a church that is a visual
overload for the eyes it's done in indigenous Baroque Style
coming out from the crater because as you can see there are no clouds around
we pass through the dry landscape dotted with volcanoes to reach a very unexpected location
so we made it to this garden and it's famous because they made different types of animals
out of the plants so right behind us we have a swan Rock in the Tifosi perfect for this
sunny weather nice sunny weather we are in Mexico they have a Japanese garden here.
Let's see how we can get out
so many turns which way to go...
we made it out
finally, we reach Atlixco another magical Town only 40 minutes away from the capital
of the city of Puebla there are homemade tacos and tortillas cooking around every corner
and the streets are festive and colorful
smells of the delicious food cooking it's time to grab something to eat and Sample the
cuisine of the region
this is our restaurant it's called Victorious
the view from this restaurant is magnificent they have a blend of Italian food and local
cuisine as well
We ordere tlacoyitos with red and green salsa and the arrachera which is a skirt steak local
to the region
You can a San Franciscan monastery built in the 16th century as well as volcano "popo"
steaming in the distance
we are walking up the most colorful Street in Atlixco and look how far we walked
magical town of Atlixco slopes up a hill and is lined with beautiful artistic murals we're
in search of a famous escalera painted from top to bottom in a mural
we've got a little sidetracked as we reached a beautiful church at the top called excconvento
de San Francisco
finally, we reached the top of the escalera but the painting isn't revealed until we walk
down the steps
[Music] it isn't until we reach the last step in the staircase that the image finally unfolds
of two dancers
[Music]
walking around the main square of that Atlixco we come across one of the most unique culinary
finds in all of our travels
that's right they have Vapor Rub ice cream here and at least go and we're gonna sample
it now so I'm trying Nieves Vapor Rub like Vapor Rub the medicines
oh interesting she has like kind of a numbing flavor yeah we just got Vapor Rub and Cedar
ice cream I can't believe I'm saying that because the uh Cedar flavored ice cream Cedar
ice cream
very woodsy tastes like Sandalwood
it's very common really yes Kitty
we say hello to a very cute kitty on the street before heading back to the city of Puebla
and if you'd like information of our tour check out the link in the description of this
video as soon as we arrive we noticed that the city is completely lit up from head to
toe at night
[Music]
this is a Vibe right here look at all these streets cobblestone streets oh look at this
through one of the most photographed alleys in the city of Puebla the alley of the frogs
which is strung with lights there are musicians on either side of the street and some of the
cutest cafes and coffee shops
[Music] we're here walking around at night super safe a lot of the stores are closed
but we're gonna visit during the daytime and you'll see a whole new light to this city
but right now we can almost like the middle of the street because there's not a lot going
on right now it's very quiet and tranquil out I feel like this is really special to
be walking around a historic district like this at night and it's like you have the whole
place to yourself
