Create unforgettable memories by discovering hidden gems of Puebla, a UNESCO world heritage site, its pre-Hispanic and colonial history and its mysteries.
Explore the tunnels of Puebla, dating back to pre-Hispanic times. These 23 km of tunnels run through the city, connecting churches, including the Cathedral, Cholula to the historic area of the Forts of Loreto and Guadalupe. Learn how these tunnels enabled the Mexican army to defeat the French Army of Napoleon during the famous “Batalla de 5 de Mayo” (May 5 battle) in 1862.
Discover another Puebla, the little-known barrios indigenas. These areas, built at the same time as the city centre, were reserved for the indigenous people. To this day, they have preserved their colonial architecture, their cobblestone streets and alleys, and the casas mestizas as well as more modern murals.
Visit America's oldest public library, the 1646 Palafox Library. Learn how and why it was founded by Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza. See original books from the 13th century of theology, law, medicine, philosophy, natural history, and original profane literature. Admire this jewel of Novo-Hispano baroque, recognised by UNESCO as a Memory of the World.
Discover in an old mansion the first settler of the city, whose age has been estimated at 3,500 years. Be impressed by the mysterious carved skulls found there.
