A small city a few kilometres from Puebla and famous for its pre-Columbian pyramid, which is concealed beneath a hill on top of which stands a church built by the Spanish colonists.
Cholula is a little town, that neighbours Puebla in Mexico. It's a delightful place to get off the beaten track.
My suggestion
You only need a day to do a tour. One piece of advice - find a local taxi and negotiate a guided tour for the day. Mexicans are proud of their country and have plenty of tales to tell - locals make the best guides.

My suggestion
Spend an evening here. Though quite peaceful during the day, the atmosphere changes in the evening due to the city's quite large student population – fun and partying guaranteed!
Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.
The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.
I guarantee that hopping on the El Chepe train will be a unique adventure in the north-west of Mexico. As the kilometres go by, incredible landscapes will pass before your eyes, don't miss the train!
