Welcome to this vibrant tour of Puebla, known as "The Heart of Mexico." This journey brings you through Puebla’s most iconic sites, starting with the historic center, where colonial architecture and grand churches tell the story of the city’s past.

Next, we’ll explore Puebla’s famed Talavera ceramics, renowned for their intricate designs and craftsmanship, and the open air market, before visiting Cuexcomate, the world’s smallest volcano with ancient stories to share. Finally, we’ll experience the excitement of Puebla’s Cinco de Mayo parade, celebrating the historic victory over the French with music, dance, and colorful costumes.
