Puebla Mexico vacation itinerary
Mexico’s Magical Towns of Puebla
Before this vacation, we thought of “Mexico” as a destination for a beautiful beach holiday, however after visiting the state of Puebla we know that it is so much more. Our family visited the city of Puebla and its surrounding magical towns in June and had a wonderful time!
History, culture, adventure, natural beauty, colonial Spanish architecture, and incredible food are all part of Puebla – a UNESCO World Heritage Center. Just 75 miles southeast of Mexico City, Puebla is the 4th largest city in the country, but undoubtedly the culinary capital of Mexico.
We delighted in the local cuisine, shopped for beautiful Talavera pottery, visited historic sites, climbed pyramids, and took day trips Puebla to Zacatlán, Tepeyahualco (Cantona and Cholula), Chignahuapan, and Huejotzingo.
