What you can expect

Snap photos of a cascading waterfall as it tumbles into crystal clear pools, see ancient pyramids at a well-preserved archaeological site, and get the chance to browse handicrafts at a local market. On this private day trip, check out the traditions and history around Cuetzalan.

Meet up with your private guide right outside your Puebla hotel and hop in comfortable transport for the scenic drive north. Wind around rolling hills and cruise past farm-flecked landscapes until you arrive in Cuetzalan. On the way, stop off at Apulco—also known as Mazatepec—and spend some time learning about the traditions and history of local cultures. Dip your toes into the cool waters of the Puxtla waterfall nearby, and then head to the Yohualichan pyramids to scope out archaeological ruins that date back to the 3rd century.

In the afternoon, head into the heart of Cuetzalan to stroll down cobbled streets, admire the soaring bell tower at the Church of San Francisco, and look for souvenirs at a bustling market full of handicrafts and street food vendors. Afterwards, hop back in your private ride and cruise back to Puebla, where convenient drop-off back at your hotel brings your tour to a close.
