Very nice park to escape the city stress. very well maintained and clean park with lot of possibilities. We loved it

An amazing beautiful park to spent the entire day. You can rent bikes, walk around the amazing gardens and enjoy nature. This is a great place for kids. Food is good but you can bring snacks or lunch. A little expensive since everything has a cost but it is worth every single penny you spent. Don't forget sun blocker, water and fresh outfit.

Family place with young kids from 2-3 to 12 max years old, sell a day pass for Mex $150 pesos + the entry price Mex $65 kids and Mex $85 adults . The pass includes 4 blues activities and 1 red. Place is 1h from México city nice for a pic nic and family time or bday. Some of the bikes are a bit rusty and hard to drive, soccer bubbles, jumping slot, tiny climbing thing, parking is NOT included cost MEX$ 50.

Nice setting to spend a few hours with the kids, there were many dahlias and a cute pond, several playgrounds and camping areas. It is not allowed to take a picnic inside.

Nice place to share time with the family. The only inconvenience I found was that not all the attractions were available. I loved to ride in bicycle with my son.

This is a fun garden that we visited to see a Pastorela (a typical Mexican Christmas play). The facilities are well maintained and the gardens are very pretty.

Nice park but it's completely family oriented. Just keep that in mind. Everything else is pretty nice!

Quite beautiful and tons to see. Great to walk and explore. There's so much off the side streets if you know where to look. Great experience. I had some locals with me that made it much more interactive and enjoyable. The main drag is great to stroll the park and see the flowers and jacaranda trees with their purple blooms.

(April 2025 - Jacarandas in full Bloom). Walk north from Bosque de Chapultepec all the way to the Angel de Independencia. Enjoy the wonderfully tree lined avenida. Enjoy the artwork, skyscrapers, world class hotels (Ritz Carlton, St. Regis and Westin). Great statues and monuments along the way. Turn around at the Arcangel and walk south on the other side of the street. This is THE Avenida of National Pride for the nation of Mexico. You'll LOVE IT. Yes - it's safe. Use UBER - NOT taxis. Major hotels along the way also have private cars to take you wherever you desire to go ($$$$).

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. There’s so much to see here that makes Mexico City very iconic. A must see if you’re in the city.

A stunningly beautiful street that leads through downtown CDMX out to Santa Fe. Very walable with endless stores and restaurants around you. I love how it's closed every weekend for bikes and pedestrians. A must visit!

This avenue is full of festivities and surprises. My favorite avenue in Mexico City

Beautiful area. Lots of restaurants and businesses. Great for walking and people watching.

I was fortunate to stay along the Paseo de la Reforma during Christmas December 2024. My first impressions, were that the Boulevard is very wide, with another passageway running in parallel. I was later informed they had inspirations from grand boulevards from European cities and you can see those similarities. I stayed in between Dianna the Huntress statue and the Angel of Independence. Along the Paseo de la Reforma, there are market stalls selling Mexican goods like t-shirts, souvenirs, magnets and other items. You can also grab a bite to eat such as tacos, fruit juices, sweet pancakes and elotes (Mexican corn). During the Christmas season, the Reforma is beautifully decorated in spectacular Christmas pictures and bright sparkling lights.

Museo Nacional de Antropología – CDMX 🇲🇽 ⭐ Rating: 10/10 An absolute must-visit in Mexico City — this museum is a true national treasure. 🏛️ From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by the rich history and culture of Mexico, with incredible exhibitions ranging from Mayan and Aztec civilizations to fascinating artifacts from indigenous cultures across the country. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the iconic central courtyard with the massive waterfall pillar — it’s one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. The displays are beautifully curated, and you can easily spend half a day or more exploring without getting bored. 💡 Tip: Go early, wear comfy shoes, and don’t miss the Aztec Sun Stone — it’s even more impressive in person. #CDMX #MuseoDeAntropologia #MexicoCulture #MustVisit #HistoryLovers

The Building is so incredibly ugly, but the exhibition is absolutely fantastic. It’s a shame that there is not much description next to the most famous artefacts., however you can always use Claude to get an explanation of what you have just seen. Do you go to the upper floor where no one is to get some rest and sit down while you hop from civilisation to civilisation. Surprisingly, The Restaurant that is inside the Museum is not bad at all, and not even with expensive. I suggest you do take a break because there is so much to see, and it’s better still to have some energy to see them all in one day

Wow this place is massive! This is a two level, U-shaped museum offering thousands of unique historical finds from all over Mexico. They also have foreign exhibits seasonally. You start on one end, work your way through the halls, and end up at the end of the building. Plan on spending at least 2-3 hours exploring all the great things to see. There is a little park and courtyard right outside where you can grab a quick snack before going in.

We booked the "Amigo" guided tour and were helped by this awesome Leonardo dude. This is such a great experience where we learned so much about the amazing history of Mexico, about its culture and traditions, and it's definitely a blast! Would absolutely recommend this museum, this guided tour, and Leonardo the perfecto, to everyone who's interested.

Plethora of various artefacts from pre-hispanic civilazations of Mesoamerica and i guess that is what most if us come to Mexico for. You will find them here. Not sure why some descriptions are in spanish only though. Also during my visit some of the outdoor areas were closed. I've been twice here, and not sure why but there was a day with free entrance.

By far a must see while in Mexico City. It’s a vast museum, so give yourself a whole day because there are multiple buildings and floors. But we found it to be exceptional and worth it. We also took a break halfway through and enjoyed an amazing lunch at the museum restaurant. Wear your comfortable walking shoes and take as many pics as you can!

What a complex! We took the Turismo bus (yes, they are wheelchair accessible!) to it, and lo and behold we didn't need our portable ramp to get around this huge set of museums. We tried to hit all the major parts of the museum, but you really need to take more than one day to grasp the full scale of the place. And for essentially $5 US dollars per person, it's pretty much a steal! As you can see, we mostly stuck to the sections with older artifacts, basically triaging our time so we could get the most out of it. The wheelchair accessibility is pretty good, save for the back of buildings that led out into gardens and a tomb replica. As for getting something to eat, there are vendors strung along in a row right in front of the main entrance plaza, and the food is cheap and delicious. Sit and eat in the adjoining park area and enjoy dogs and children playing in the fountains. And of course, last but not least, there is a gift shop, where you can buy all sorts of books and other items to take home with you.

This is one additional beautiful part of Mexico City ! It is a MUST visit ! No 2 ways about it. There are 2 lineups at the ticket office.1 for cash and 1 for card. The card lineup was shorter so we had a two minute wait there and the lady that gave us. Our tickets took one look at us in with all our gray hair and wrinkles. Gave us a free admission for old farts. Lol. Getting an order does have its advantages. It’s a slow steady walk up a gradual incline before reaching this thing of beauty. This is where they stamp your ticket. There is only a few people ahead of us. It was around noon on a Friday afternoon. When we left, there were a lot more people, but still the line was moving fairly quickly. We spent a few hours roaming around through this magnificent structure with its beautiful displays and wonderful gardens.

This is a stunning walk through a historical building filled with beautiful artwork from a few different eras . The castle itself has a few different exhibits and the living areas of the place are staged and have explanations in Spanish and English about the use of each of space. Views from the top of the castle looking down the hill are incredible and worth the hike up.

Entrance was about 5USD. There was a lot of art, history, and scenery here. Easily spent a few hours here. The only con for those who may be older or with disabilities, you must walk uphill in order to arrive to the castle. There were a few cars that were able to enter, I assumed for drop off. I would look into this if needed.

I'm a big fan of the park surrounding the castle but found the castle itself beautiful but rigid. I had my full frame camera with me when I purchased the ticket at the ground level entrance. After walking up the hill, the xop checking tickets asked if I could remove my lens from my camera? There was a 0% chance that was happening and if this is an actual rule it should be displayed when you purchase the ticket. Everything else was without incident.

Lovely castle to walk around. It is a 5-10min walk up to the castle so bring comfortable walking shoes. The front half of the castle exhibits are only in Spanish, but the second half of the castle had translations. Lovely walk through history of Mexico and high up viewpoint of cityscape. 100 mxn entry free for foreigners, can buy them at the door.

Beautiful castle, home to more than 62 vireyes and presidents , a lot of home display pieces of art from that time and mexican history. Gorgeous gardens and balconies with incredible views of the park and Paseo de la Reforma angel statue. Entrance fee $100 pesos . Pictures allow, a bit of walk from main entrance to the castle about 10 minutes .Washroom available. Bad check by the entrance. Crowded most days.No water or food allowed inside. Mondays is closed. Definitely a place to see .Time to spend 3h plus to make the visit worth it.

An incredible space. Beautifully preserved and presented to show how life was like during those times. A fascinating presentation of history. Well worth the visit!

Went just to see the basilica. It surprise me how big this thing is. It holds mass every hour and turns out ppl come from everywhere here to do pilgrimage. Its amazing to see how strong the faith they have here. It has a nice view from the hill and so many souvenir shops around the basilica as well.

Really nice experience to see the old churches and the new, side by side. You can also clearly see the sinking of the buildings due to the fact it is all laying on an old lake bed. Easy to get to with public transport so be adventurous.

A must visit We spent many hours praying, attending mass. For the first timers do plan for to spend at least 5 hours. There are many chapels in addition to the basilica. Museum dedicated to our lady has many artifacts and it’s only 10 pesos to enter. Pray, reflect and receive blessings from our Mother

The Basilica of Guadalupe was on our minds to visit as we were traveling through Mexico. We attended the mass but was in Spanish but was still an experience. The other churches are all in the same vicinity. Very peaceful, friendly people everywhere. The church on the top is not an easy walk but the church is beautiful and the view is amazing.

Excellent place to take your family to visit and share other religions. . . Very clean. Must have exact change to use the WC (bathrooms/toilets) 5 peso's. Bathrooms must take stairs to get to it. There are handicap bathrooms as well that have elevators.

Beautiful place with a calming energy. However, had I known about the beautiful stray dogs and cats that live there I would have brought food and water. You can purchase water there but please bring kibble and a plate. The Basilica should have a donation box that goes directly to them.

A very very sacred and awesome place. You will find peace and loads of pilgrims. A very famous and one of the world's most visited sacred sites in Catholicism.

A beautiful palace full of interesting art. It was free during my visit which is a nice gesture. The exhibits were cool, I won't pretend to be so interested in art. The property itself is a work of art and a great place for photographers to take some shots. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing ! The theatre tour is every 30 min. alternating between Spanish and English. It is definitely a must see and experience. We then proceeded to get a ticket for the art gallery. Being senior there was no charge. But I would’ve gladly paid. The architecture and the attention to detail. The floors, the walls, the ceilings the columns are all together. The artwork of course is “different strokes for different folks” but all in all, just amazing ! What a beautiful experience !

Really worth a visit it has 17 stunning murals by famous Mexican artists like Diego Rivera and paintings. We joined a free guided tour and the guide was great at explaining the murals(4/5) and their hidden symbolisms. I would totally recommend to join a tour as there is much that the descriptions won't be able to cover

Amazingly beautiful venue for theatre and dance. It’s a magnificent artistic building itself. We saw the ballet folklorico here while in town and bought the cheaper tickets with balcony seats up top. And it was still a great experience.

We saw the Lilia Carillo exhibition and Diego murals , took about a hour and half but we took our sweet time. Def recommend visiting. Tickets were about 5$ per adult

Art Nouveau outside and art deco inside. The palace is possible the most beautiful building in Mexico City. The best view from outside comes from the café across the street (8th floor of Sears). Nice murals inside too, including Rivera’s.

I walked in without knowing much about the history and solely depended upon the Google reviews. This was a huge mistake. I didn’t even know it has gallery rooms. It is one of those places where the reviews can be way off the mark. So I recommend reading something about this place and its events beforehand since there are no English speaking guides (unless you hire one) or plaques available. For some incorrect reviews, there are 5 pieces of Diego Rivera’s murals. Other than the destroyed Rockefeller Center reproduction, four murals of “Carnaval de la Vida Mexicana” series are here. It is not well known but you should not miss them if you are a fan. And other murals are magnificent as well. On the way up to the third floor, they drove us through the Lilia Carrillo show. I was initially vexed but it turned out as a great opportunity to see her paintings although I had no knowledge about her life and artworks. One thing that really bothered me was there were Spanish speaking guides explaining two murals. The one who guides the “Man, the Controller of the Universe” stays in front of it too long giving the audience an “unwarranted one hour lecture” while asking them foolish questions. I couldn’t get close to see the details thanks to that. I hope they shorten the time. It is a great place to visit for sure.

The museum was incredible - getting to first hand experience the space where Frida lived and died and and many of her beautiful works hanging throughout. My only issue was how wildly crowded it was. The tickets are sold in 15 minute intervals but unfortunately that staggering doesn’t do much - we would wait behind 10-15 people at each table to try and view the displays and read about Frida. At times there were so many people in the next room we would have to stand and wait 5-7 minutes before being able to move in, or so many people taking influencer posed photos on the stairs that you couldn’t even exit the home I’m Not sure that there’s any way to change those things but they were the only downside of an otherwise incredible experience.

I visited the Frida Kahlo Museum on Sunday, and it was such a lovely place! There’s so much interesting information about her life, beautiful art, and amazing antiques. I recommend watching the movie Frida first—it helps you understand and appreciate the museum even more. The ticket price was reasonable, but I suggest booking in advance because there was quite a long queue. It’s also best to take an Uber from your location to the museum. I absolutely loved this place! Greetings from the UK

Walking through the house where Frida Kahlo lived for 36 of her 47 years was an incredible and emotional experience. Every corner of the Blue House feels alive with her spirit — from the vibrant colors on the walls to the intimate details of her studio, bedroom, and garden. Seeing the actual objects she used, the clothes she wore, and the tools she painted with makes her story deeply personal. You can feel both her strength and vulnerability as you move through the rooms that witnessed her struggles, her creativity, and her love for Diego Rivera. It’s not just a museum — it’s a journey through her life, her art, and her resilience. A visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum is truly unforgettable and an absolute must for anyone visiting Mexico City.

This was incredible!!!!!! I didn’t get tickets before our trip so I had to do a walking tour to get an entrance ticket. The walking tour was great but wow this museum was cool. I loved that it included some of frida’s works and her real painting materials and furniture. There’s a tiny gift shop thing, which was just enough without being over the top or overly commodifying. I will remember this visit for a long, long time.

A must visit if you are visiting Mexico City. This museum has a lot of history behind it and you will get to see the place where Frida Kahlo spent her final years with all artifacts and detailed history of her. It would take 3 hours to get around. Make sure you book your tickets in advance (either directly or via tour operators) as they are quickly sold. They also have a gift shop and cookie shop inside if you wanted to refresh. Please visit if you are in CDMX.

It was a dream come true. I admire Friday Kahlo, and it's privilege to get access to the actual house she lived. The colors, easel she used, the beautiful kitchen, original paintings, her personal journals, original dress collection, everything is preserved and maintained so well. If you not watched Frida Kahlo movie just watch before entering the museum, you will relate more.

Book the tickets in advance and come on time. The exhibition is not really showing much, but it does show some spirits of Frida Kahlo. The atmosphere all around is very nice and relaxing. Take a seat in the garden and enjoy the vibes would also be a good experience.

You have to plan on spending a few hours here. When I went the Temple of the Moon had just been opened two days before to be able to climb, but check ahead for any changes. Some of the archeological work was also open to be able to walk around. The museum and botanical garden is very impressive. There are signs throughout that tell you about the history but I'd definitely recommend getting a guide if you can; they love being able to tell you even more about the history.

Amazing decorations and sculptures of the Feathered Serpent. The complex is a bit more further away from the Sun and the Moon temples, the places majority of guests get limited to. The 1...2 km is worth the time. Porto 2 / Entrance 2 gives good entrance close to the Temple of the Feathered Serpent.

The closest pyramid to Puerta 1 of the Teotihuacan archeological site. If you are visiting from Puerta 2 close to the Pyramid of the Sun and Moon it might not be worth the 20 min walk across many stairs and under the sun, but if you're young and fresh you might enjoy the challenge, and it's much less crowded!

Pretty self paced. We did not get a guide, but would recommend if you didn't grow up in México. The whole tour took us a bit over 3hrs. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Love it!

don’t just go for the sun and moon pyramids when you’re here, take a walk down the path to this pyramid and admire its history and architecture. my guide said the “newer” structure in front is covering an “older”structure. no one actually knows why since there are no records. the original 7levels are meant to signify the step to heaven or something like that. the altar in front is apparently for sacrificial stuffs. my guide carries a guide book with pictures that reimagine what it looked like in the past. if you’re not just there for photo ops, should consider getting a certified guide.

Great place. Must visit

It’s a great site ;) however it’s not monumental because it’s not massive or endless to enjoy it because after a white it feels kinda small. There is no temple but a pyramid. I saw visitors in disbelief how they felt it was so big and it feels too small. I agree but still I don’t want to make a big deal of the size of this complex.

What a fantastic tour! Enrique was amazing and so knowledgeable about the area, its history, and anthropology. His English was fantastic, and he even taught us some local Mexican Spanish. We rode the bikes to the site then walked around the temples. You could tell he had the best reputation by how he greeted all the other guides and locals--everyone knew him. After touring the sites, we went to the lava tunnels which were pretty amazing. Apparently, this is one of the "must sees" because when I told another tour guide we had gone there, he was in awe. He hadn't been able to get in and he lived in CDMX all his life. Then we rode around the town and finally he dropped us a restaurant which was include in our tour. Again, can't say enough about this business--highly recommend!

My family and I were able to store our luggage here via the Bounce app. Angela, the owner, was super helpful and friendly, even offering to help us move our luggage to another location after her shop closed, if we needed that. We felt very comfortable leaving our bags with her, and when we came back they were exactly as we left them. Her shop is clean and has bathrooms we could use, and it's within walking distance of the #4 and #5 entrances of the pyramids. Super convenient! We were so glad we found Angela's place, and we would definitely recommend it to others. Really made our visit to the pyramids easier! Afterwards, the Uber ride to the NLU airport took about 45 minutes.

A completely delightful day. My guide, Enrique was very knowledgeable and told me some amazing and incredible things about the magnificent pyramids. The visit to the cave was an unexpectedly spiritual experience that I wont forget.

I would highly recommend them. Communication was easy. This was a relief as you are not a local and you are concerned about logistics. They were able to accommodate picking us and the rest of the party from 2 different locations. The driver was so nice. Once we get there, you get a litle backpack with water and a snack. Our tour guide, Jorge, was amazing. He is a local and has so much knowledge. You can tell the respect he has for his community. The cave tour was great too, make sure your phone is charge in case you need to use your phone light. The artisan family we visit was nice. Make sure you have enough pesos to spend. They accept card as well. You get to taste pulque, tequila, mezcal, some mermelade made our the fruit of the nopal, and a spice salsa, so tasty! You get to have lunch at a restaurant which is covered by your tour fee . It was nice, food was great for the meat eaters. For the vegetarian ones, food was ok. You have to pay for drinks though. Finally, you get dropped off at your hotel. I would do this tour again with this company!

Great service, Jorge and Javier are kind and nice people , they explained everything very clear, the tuna's trip was amazing. I will definitely be back to try a different route!

Amazing tour! There were only three of us on it so I got to ask tons of questions. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Most of all, this place is absolutely magical. I can't think of a better way to experience it.

Excellent tour guides. Speak Spanish & English. Friendly and knowledgeable. Customize tour to your needs. Quite an adventure!

This experience was a must on my trip to MX, however it was overwhelming to choose between vendors.. are they trustworthy? Will the service be good? Will I be comfortable? ... After reading many, many, reviews I decided to go with this company. Let me tell you that as soon as I paid, someone reached out and confirmed with me all my booking details and asked if I had any questions. Then, the day came, they picked us up exactly where they said they would be, everyone in the staff was kind and welcoming. You have opportunities to take pics and videos and it's not a "pushy" sales vibe, more of an optional vibe. The ride itself was so SMOOTH. The captain was great! Great views too! Landing was perfection and the pyramid tour was also great. All of this to say that if you have any worries (I get it!), this is the company to book with!

Magical hot air balloon experience over Teotihuacán Sky Balloons México delivered an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was organized, safe, and welcoming. The staff was professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease. The sunrise flight over the pyramids was absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, surreal, and beautifully scenic. The pilot was skilled and gave us a smooth, comfortable ride with stunning panoramic views. We also enjoyed the post-flight breakfast and sparkling wine toast, which added a great celebratory touch to the morning. Whether you’re a first-time flyer or looking for a romantic or bucket-list adventure, Sky Balloons is a must in Mexico. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour as described. Really well organised from start to finish, no hidden charges or complications. Good communication by WhatsApp as well. Very happy, would definitely recommend!

Bad experience. We came on time. They made us wait. All other ballons were in the sky and the sunrise already passed and our balloon still didn't go up. The whole point of the advertised experience is to go up during the sunrise with all other ballons. So we didn't get to experience that. From my understanding there was a problem with the balloon which is why it was late. Regardless, it completely ruined our experience.

The best..... Absolutely sensational we booked through Viator and the process was seamless, we arrived safely on time and checked in.. offered coffee and snacks. Carlos our guide greeted us and gave us the run down, he was AWESOME and very knowledgeable about the balloon and process. He brought us to our balloon that lifted off right in front of the building and we were off . It was breathtaking. Skyteam and Carlos were awesome. Great English and personal involvement.. Carlos was on top of everything from the departure to landing... Skyteam balloon and Carlos. I trust

The experience is amazing. The place and stuff very friendly. The organization is prepared for everything, all is carefully think to have a great time. 100% recommended

Sky Balloons México provided an unforgettable experience! Watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon with breathtaking views of the Teotihuacán pyramids was truly magical. The flight was smooth, and the panoramic scenery was stunning. The staff was professional, friendly, and ensured a safe and enjoyable ride. From takeoff to landing, everything was well-organized, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Floating over the ancient pyramids at sunrise is an absolute must-do! If you’re looking for a unique and memorable adventure in Mexico, Sky Balloons México is highly recommended. A once-in-a-lifetime experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s a small unkept ruin with a long hike uphill…the perk was the view other than that not worth it.

Get ready for a good but short hike up top. Bring mosquito repllent if you have.

Perfect for nature lovers and people looking for something different and keen on trekking or just having fun going up the pyramid. You'll need good cardio though, so take your time and enjoy your climb up.

A great place to contemplate the city from above, celebrating the spirit of the New Fire. It may need more care from local authorities, despite the fact, the Aztec building remains.

Archeological finds at the Cerro de la Estrella archeological site relate to the Teotihuacan, Toltec, Chichimeca and Culhua-Mexica cultures and range from 1500 BCE to 1521. Excavations have found the Temple of the New Fire, the Sanctuary, the Villa Estrellas, 144 caves, the remains of walls and evidence of terracing. The most important of these is the former plaza and temple of the New Fire Ceremony, which is on the top of the hill. This archeological site can be visited through a guided tour. However, early archeological remains can be found in many parts of the park, including those which have since been covered over by urban sprawl. Ceramic and stone sculpture materials were discovered in the west side of Huizachtecatl that apparently was made within the 100 to 500 years CE; these resemble other similar pieces found in Zacatenco, north of Mexico City. The constructions here were built between the year 100 and 650 AD and are located in the north side, the remains consist of foundations and walls of palaces that show Teotihuacan influence. Another area was housing zone at the middle of the hill, built during the late Classic period 600 to 900 CE. In 2003, specialists from the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia INAH worked to document petroglyphs found in various areas of the park, registering 210 in eleven groups, but they believe there are still more. Some of the petroglyphs are aligned with certain annual solar events. The most recent find was in 2006, when a pyramid base was discovered in what is called Calvary at the top of the mountain. This base dates to the Teotihuacan period, about 1300 years ago. INAH has decided not to excavate the base. The last New Fire ceremony took place in 1507. Today, the hill remains important culturally, as the scene of Iztapalapa’s annual Passion Play.

Beautiful place, ruins are well preserved

Ok

Xochimilco, located just 30-40 minutes outside of Mexico City, offers a truly authentic Mexican experience that is both vibrant and unforgettable. Known for its colorful trajineras (boats), Xochimilco is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Mexican culture. Once you arrive, you can rent a boat to cruise through the picturesque canals. The experience can last as long or as short as you like—just let your boat operator know. As you float along, you’ll encounter vendors selling delicious Mexican food, from tacos to tamales, and even drinks like micheladas. Live music adds to the festive atmosphere, with mariachis and other musicians serenading you from nearby boats. A few tips: Go to the bathroom before you take a boat. Be sure to bring plenty of cash, as you’ll need it to pay for the boat ride and any food or music you’d like to enjoy. The cost varies depending on the length of your ride and what you purchase, but it’s all very reasonable. Also, Ubers were easy to find both to and from Xochimilco, making it a convenient day trip from the city. Plan for at least an hour but stay as long as you like to soak in the lively energy of this unique destination. Highly recommend!

It is a great nature and cultural experience. I am not sure why people would give negative reviews. We booked a boat for 1 hour for two people and went solo for 600 pesos ($36 USD). We got to experience how some families live a simple life near a canal in Mexico. We experienced serenity of nature. While some groups were blasting music in a natural area, we chose a calm and quiet trip through nature. We got plenty of beautiful pictures of the landscape from the water. I negotiated with the boatman to show us something different and a small doll house. So he offered to go further for an additional 30 minutes for 1000 pesos ($60 USD), making our trip of 1.5 hours. The boatman took us further up the canal into smaller ones, giving us plenty of picture moments. We loved it overall. The boatman was very nice and friendly despite the language barrier as we were communicating using Google translate. The boatman was young, he didn't go to the college. I asked him how much he makes from the 600 pesos per hour boat run? He mentioned that he only receives 100 pesos for his work, while the rest goes to the administration that owns the boats and maintains it. So I gave him a tip for his hard and honest work, which made him happy. We didn't wait for any food boats or anything, as we were more interested in experiencing the nature.

It was a fun-filled hour of relaxing as we floated on our private boat. My family found the different trajinera artisans selling food, drinks, flower's, jewelry, and offering Mariachi quite charming. Especially considering when you place an order they board your boat while in motion to serve you. Despite the rumors this isn't a tourist trap. Yes it does attracts tourists, but locals also come here to host birthday parties, get married and celebrate life in general. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilco give you a insight into what the area looked like in the 1500's, but if you aren't aware of the context this gem might be lost on you. This experience reminds you the entire area used to be a lake. If none of that strikes a cord with you, but you're a Frida Kahlo fan you might be interested just to see the where Frida and Diego got remarried.

Pier Fernando Celada / Embarcadero Fernando Celada is the name with more reviews. Even before you arrive at the floating gardens there will be people knocking on your Uber/taxi window trying to sell you on a tour of Xochimilco. None of them were on the side of the floating gardens, they must not be allowed to cross the street. Just walk to the boat area and ignore everyone else trying to sell to you. We went to the ticket window and were directed to a gentlemen with red hat and red shirt that briefly gave us information, asked how long of a tour we wanted, 1 hour (500 pesos), 2 hours (1000 pesos) etc. He called over one of the boat guys and that gentlemen led us down to the boat and was very nice. We didn’t have to pay anything until we got back. Along the way a boat pulled up besides us that was selling Corona for $40 pesos, delicious chicken and cheese quesadillas for $35 each, and waters for $30. Our “guide” kept pushing both boats along as they cooked the food right in front of us. My only regret was not ordering more food. The boat goes along somewhat slow, but it’s very quiet along the way with just nosies from animals and the occasional backyard stereo system. We did not have pesos after buying food, but we ended up just paying/tipping a little extra in USD for the ride and it was around 750 pesos with food for 3 people and the 1 hour tour. Pros: Food along the way, very peaceful, lots of wildlife. Cons: Very little English spoken here, they just need some sort of official information /ticket booth somewhere near to make things a little more comfortable, the water/some houses along the waterway were a little dirty.

100% a tourist trap. The sign says 2 hours for $1200 pesos. They charged us that much but then took us around for 1hour and sat near the dock for 20 minutes. Then eventually finally docked the boat after stalling. Then had the nerve to ask for a tip

It’s an experience. Fun hour to relax floating listening to music eating and drinking. You can get your own boat for $25 USD per hour. Food is cooked on another boat that comes up and hooks on. $5-10 for enchiladas or tacos.

Very different aspect in touring Mexico City. Yes, some call it a tourist trap attraction but it really isn't. It is a much calming respite from the busy life of Mexico City, be it the Historical Center or Coyoacán crowds. One doesn't need more than one hour and the different boats peddling their souvenir wares or offering Mariachi entertainment are not a nuisance at all. Please bear in mind that before the Conquista by Hernán Cortés, his troops and his Amerindian allies, the old capital of the Aztec Empire Tenochtilan was an island in the middle of a lake crisscrossed by many a water causeway. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilko can give you a very abstract idea what the place looked like prior to 1521.

Dirty place. Full of bugs and flies 🪰

Familiar!

God 20/10

Very Beautiful 😍🤩🤩😍😍😍😻😻

Bonito

Nice place

(Translated by Google) There's nothing attractive about it, and it's dirty. There's also an overpopulation of abused and abandoned dogs. One house has about 40 Chihuahuas. They should replace motorcycles with bicycles, thus preventing them from hitting animals and reducing pollution. I witnessed a motorcyclist run over a kitten and then drive off. It's clear the Mayor doesn't invest a cent in his town. (Original) No hay nada atractivo y está sucio. Además hay sobrepoblacion de perros en situación de maltrato y abandono. En una casa tienen como 40 perros chihuahuas. Deberían cambiar las motocicletas x bicicletas, evitando así que atropellen animales y reduciría la contaminación. Me tocó ver como un motociclista atropelló a un gatito bebé y se largó. Se nota que el Presidente Municipal no invierte un centavo en su Pueblo.

A nice half a day activity. Once there you can go 40 minute walk in the mountain with a guide and learn about the various plants. There is shop, a restaurant, a soap factory and a clinic on oils. There are also petting zoo, with rabbits. Relative easy to get there. Free parking. Cute for a family visit.

A nice place to spend a few hours. You can have tasty food in the restaurant, take a small excursion , feed rabbits and buy some local things with lavanda.

Nice setting. Relaxing. Kind people. Great value for a cheap tour value.

Best to come early and enjoy the process of a distillery. There's a place to eat and buy essential oils and soap's. You could also rent a cabin per night for about $1400 to $1900 Pesos.

(Translated by Google) A great place if you love nature; the sheer variety of lavender is incredible. It's ideal for walking and breathing fresh air. There are guided tours, or you can wander freely if you prefer. They also have a shop with their own products (highly recommended) and a café serving food made with lavender. It's worth a day trip, or you can rent a cabin and spend the night. It's pet-friendly. Dress warmly because it gets chilly after sunset. (Original) Gran lugar si te gusta la naturaleza, es increíble ver la inmensa variedad de lavandas que tienen. Ideal para ir a caminar y respirar aire limpio. Hay recorridos guiados o si prefieres puedes caminar libremente, también tienen una tienda con productos propios (recomendados) y una cafetería con alimentos realizados con lavanda. Vale la pena escaparse un día o si lo prefieres rentar una cabaña y pasar la noche. Es pet friendly. Abríguense bien porque cuando se pone el sol empieza a hacer frío.

(Translated by Google) A charming place surrounded by lavender, ideal for a relaxing getaway. It's pet-friendly, so you can enjoy it with your pet. They offer a very enjoyable tour where they explain the different varieties of lavender and how to grow them. They also have a shop with many lavender products, and the option to make your own soap for $70, which is a fun, yet quick, experience. They have parking and a restaurant if you want to stay for lunch. Highly recommended for relaxing, learning, and enjoying the scent of lavender. (Original) Un lugar encantador rodeado de lavandas, ideal para una salida tranquila. Es pet friendly, así que puedes disfrutar con tu mascota. Ofrecen un tour muy agradable donde explican las diferentes variedades de lavanda y su cultivo. También tienen una tienda con muchos productos hechos con lavanda, y la opción de hacer tu propio jabón por $70, lo cual es una experiencia divertida aunque rápida . Cuentan con estacionamiento y un restaurante por si quieres quedarte a comer. Muy recomendable para relajarse, aprender y disfrutar del aroma de la lavanda.

(Translated by Google) It's a super beautiful and relaxing place, comfortable for people and pets. They sell delicious lavender products (cakes, water, ice cream, oils, soaps, mugs, etc.). They also offer guided walks, massages, yoga, and other activities. There's lots of nature, dogs, and squirrels. (Original) Es un lugar súper bonito y relajante, es cómodo para personas y mascotas, venden productos super ricos de lavanda (panqué, agua, helados, aceites, jabones, tazas, etc). También tienen paseos guiados y masajes, yoga entre otras cosas. Hay muchísima naturaleza, perritos y ardillas.

Great restaurant but would have liked the option to order a meal rather than pay for the Buffet. A wee bit on the pricey side but Great food none the less. Will come back another time to stay the night as tye rooms look comfortable.

The park around the hotel is nice; petting zoo, zip line, paddle boats and such. The restaurant serves a wide variety of foods and drinks that are very enjoyable. The noise from the fair across the street however is overwhelming, it starts at 8 pm (when the kids should be going down) and continues until after 10. The window coverings do not cover the window well with the exterior lights it make it seem like 8 am at 3am in the morning. Also a fan in the room would go along way, windows are small and don’t provide much air flow. Overall it is a good hotel-if the loud noise (music) was removed it would be much better.

Aince my last visit they added a lot of new stuff. The bird house is very nice and the lemur “King Julian” also very exciting. Unfortunately we ran out of time and could not see the museum of Sor Juana, since the guided tour is only every hour on the hour ! The park is very clean and really nice !

If you need to stay in a place in Amecameca, this is your spot. The location is very convenient and very beautiful. If you stay here, you get a package that includes a good amount of the amenities they offer, but you can purchase morefor a fairly reasonable price. There is no AC but as this is up in the mountains, it is pretty fresh so no need to worry about it being hot overall recommend this hotel. You’ll definitely enjoy it. The food was delicious. The staff in the restaurant and throughout the area are very become accommodating and kind.

I came here mainly to pet the capybaras, which they have two. The all access ticket price is quite steep at 650 pesos at the time of this review. But with that you have access to all of the animal attractions, including a young loin on your lap and the lemurs on your shoulder 😂

Beautiful location. Hotel room was warm when we arrived so we requested a fan which was promptly provided. It hailed in the evening and since I had the window open, some rain came inside but no problem… a guy with a mop and bucket appeared without delay and mopped it up. In the morning the sun rose right in the middle of the Iztaccihautl volcano … incredible since the clouds had blocked the view the night before and Popocatépetl was smoking and they both were white with snow. The grounds are well manicured making all activities pleasant. My favorite was the hacienda and volcano museum . A wonderful switch after a hot week in Mexico City.. the breakfast provided was plenty with fruit, sweet bread, coffee, eggs and small French breads .

To clarify, this is not a hotel. This is a very historic place in Mexico. I just wish more information was available in English. It is interesting to see a 400 year old building mixed with a petting zoo and zip lines but it makes it super fun to visit. The kids had a blast. Bathrooms were clean. People were friendly. The only downside is that they don't let you take pictures with some of the animals. The animal show was entertaining. The medical team was good. We had a small allergic reaction to one of the animal fur and the staff was responsive. Who knew one of us was allergic to rabbit fur. The volcano show was okay. Nothing extraordinary. They used strobe lights heavily and there was no warning for those with sensitivities.

This place in very special for me! Not easy to get there though 🚗 so have been just once! The nature is so precious here, and there’s plenty of place to walk and observe! Perfect for a Day with family ☺️🌟 There’s a restaurant close to Hacienda. Dogs 🐕 just walk around the tables 🤣 We were having lunch outside. I recommend this for its beauty and absolutely stunning Nature! 🌳💦

The estate boasts a pleasant environment with affordable admission fees. Despite weekend crowds, ticket purchasing is quick with minimal queues. The expansive public parking area ensures convenient parking and swift entry. The estate features a large lake, while the estate itself is not vast. Visitors can access the entire estate by climbing stairs without extra charges, although there may be some wait time. The view from the top covers the entire estate. The only drawback is the narrow and potentially time-consuming staircase ascent, requiring caution and patience. Overall, a visit to this estate, like Puebla, is worthwhile for sightseeing – it's a place worth stopping by if you appreciate scenic views and tranquil surroundings.

OMG this place is beautiful. It reminds me of the movie The Notebook. Admission fee was about $50 pesos or $2.50 USD. There are many places you can take Instagramable pictures. There are ducks, a lake, the mission and beautiful fauna. You can also pay extra and ride a boat or fish. They have a small restaurant, a fishing club, a couple of souvenir stores and a few restrooms. You can also have a picnic if you come prepared.

Nice place to take a break, a couple of km off the puebla-mexico city highway. Entry fee of Adults 40 and children 10 pesos. Lovely setting, beautiful paths to walk around, colourful hacienda,shimmering lakes with birds. Clean toilets . Possibility for boating or fishing. Restaurant on site as well as picnic tables.

Nice place to enjoy nature. You can rent a cabin and spend the night safe. Nice camping and the hacienda outside is pretty

Very quaint, great place to relax. Mind the hours, around midday is quite busy and complicated to visit the castle. You can bring your fishing rod, or picnic things. You pay 40 pesos to go in, and extras for fishing or drone pictures.

Beautiful place. Make sure you get a tour so that they can explain the history and importance of the place. You do have to walk quite a while but it is worth it. Also, there is great Mexican food outside of the lake.

Nice place for weekend. Need to bring appropriate clothing depending on the season.

It’s suppose to be a visitors center, but it’s far from that. The facilities are in very bad shape and there is no service other than pay the fee to enter the park. The roads who lead to the park are terrible.

Great hiking, spectacular views. You might get lucky and see some volcanic activity.

Amazing hike amazing views! MUST!

Beautiful place- worth the admittedly fraught drive from Puebla. A place for hiking and enjoying the insane views of the two volcanoes. There are toilets and food there too so no need to worry about peeing in a bush

Beautiful scenery!!

Apart from being a great park, with fresh air and nature all around, an active Volcano and trails to go up to a sleeping volcano, this is place is Mexican heritage all over. It doesn't matter where you are from, the mysticism of the park makes you forget of the caotic city an hour away. It is also strange that this park is the way Spanish got to Tenochtitlan and conquered it, modern Mexico is defined at this place.

(Translated by Google) This place is beautiful and has an impressive view with its colors in spring, the beauty of the jacarandas in that unique tone and the combination with the landscape of the Zahuapan River that due to the unfortunate situation of pollution is not in good condition, support and take care of these types of places, we must preserve our environment.

(Translated by Google) Perfect place to run (Original) Lugar perfecto para correr

(Translated by Google) It is advisable to visit it in spring when the trees turn purple, which gives it a much more beautiful view. I love that the staff makes you feel at home, very attentive at all times. Although it is small, it has a lot of information and history. Attached to the museum is a small market for crafts and local consumption, that idea seems fantastic to me to consume handmade things at a very good price and with a great variety. You find food and souvenirs. On Sundays the museum has no cost. (Original) Recomendable visitarlo en primavera cuando los árboles se visten de morado, lo cual le da una vista mucho más hermosa. Me encanta que el personal te hace sentir como en casa, muy atento en todo momento. Aunque es pequeño tiene mucha información e historia. Anexado al museo está un pequeño mercadito de artesanías y consumo local, esa idea me.oarece fantástica ora consumir cosas artesanales a muy buen precio y con gran variedad. Encuentras comida y souvenirs. Los días Domingo el museo no tiene costo.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Ocotlan is a must to visit when doing a pilgrimage in Mexico. First time I came here, there was no one else inside, yet I smell a heavy scent of Jasmine. It was my validation that Senora of Ocotlan indulged me with her Divine presence.

Hum. Beautiful architectural building, lots of history.

This church seems hidden but really as grandiose as the others The town seems far but worth visiting. Small town but the church is pretty awesome. The architecture is worth going there. Even the christmas tree has spirit. Made out of love.

PILGRIMAGE OF GUADALUPE Our Visit to the Fountain of Our Lady of Ocotlan which means Pine. Our Lady appeared in a Pine tree. There was an epidemic during that time called Cholera. People who were not sick helped the sick and brought water to them. This was after ten years Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to San Juan Diego. Our Lady of Ocotlan appeared to Juan Diego Bernardino led him to the fountain that heals the sick. The Franciscan friars followed Juan Diego Bernardino and they believed.

This is a really beautiful church, both inside and out. The feeling inside is akin to the Capilla del Rosario in Puebla, but on a humbler, more intimate scale. The facade seems to have been freshly restored as of March 2023. Try to see the room that's somewhat hidden behind the main altar. It is also lovely but may not be open at the time of your visit.

Beautiful church. The rooms that can be entered through a "secret" door behind the altar have particularly amazing ceilings.

Beautiful ornate church built on the site where the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego.

I’m studying to be an archaeologist and this place blew me away. Created in stages, like the Maya and other mesoamerican cultures, the pyramid was fantastic and the surrounding ruins were beautiful. There is definitely more that can be revealed. The grassy area that you walk around in was really nice.

After visiting the Cathedral on the hill, we opted to walk around the ruins of the Great Pyramid. What history and building technique. They added layers every 52 years and spans centuries. Not much left but still worth walking around.

It's a very big pyramid mostly covered in dirt. It seems the few things that were excavated were not actually part of the pyramid. The tunnels perhaps would be interesting but were closed. Poor signage resulted in us ascending 300+ steps to get to a church, but have no view of the pyramid (nice city and volcano view, however). Seems the church is the bigger spectacle here.

THE TUNNELS ARE CLOSED. YOU CANNOT GO INSIDE THE PYRAMID/TEMPLE AT ALL, SO YOU WILL SEE ALMOST NOTHING. If you are okay with that, you will pay $95 per person (it is more expensive than listed online) to only see a small amount of the top of it (the rest is underground). If it is a sunny day, you can climb one small part of the temple steps, but that's the coolest thing you'll experience here. If it's raining, that will be closed so there will be almost nothing to see. UNTIL THEY OPEN THE TUNNELS AGAIN, IF THEY EVER DO, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE.

Really cool to learn about the history and see the ruins. There are also great places to buy Souvenirs right by the ruins.

Pyramid of Cholula I was incredibly excited to visit the largest pyramid in the world. Knowing that it’s only a 3.5-hour flight from where I live made it even more exciting. However, I was also very disappointed by the way we were treated. I asked at the museum if it was possible to enter the underground passages of the pyramid, and the man who attended me said he didn’t know what I was talking about and told me to just go into the museum. I asked again if there was access to the tunnels, and he raised his voice, saying he didn’t know what I was talking about and that I should go see the patios instead. His attitude was rude and arrogant, so we decided to leave. The site itself is beautiful, full of history, with stories of the gods, the customs of the ancient peoples of Mexico, and also of the new religion imposed by the Spanish. I would definitely visit Cholula again, but I would keep my distance from the government staff.

The Cholula pyramid and archaeological zone was just ok. We went to Monte Alban a week prior in Oaxaca that was stunning so once we got to Cholula I didn’t feel like it was anything special. There was a huge line to get in the ruins and museums which we skipped. The tunnels under the pyramids are closed since COVID. There were also so many people packed in the main square that I really couldn’t take the pictures I wanted. We did climb to the top of the hill and go inside the church that was very pretty and had a great view of the city.

There is plenty of seating outside, and the exterior of the church is a beautiful color. I wish you were allowed to take pictures inside because it was the most uniquely decorated church I've ever seen.

Small but interesting church, no photos allowed inside but it’s beautifully decorated and not like any other church. Worth a quick stop!

Beautiful small church. Outside Is very simpel, but in side incredibly detailed and nice. Not aloud to take pictures inside. Free entrance.

An incredibly beautiful temple. Catholic/Aztec church. Decorated in every detail by the indigenous. I was very impressed A lady told me that pictures were not allowed but fortunately I had already taken these

With so many unique churches in Puebla, this one is not to be missed. Beautifully preserved and lovely architecture here. You can take a local bus which will take you to the heart of Tonanzintla. Everything is within short distance by foot. Must see!

Very interesting church with luxurious decorations. The building style is a mix of indigenous and European Baroque styles, suggesting integration of cultures.

The exterior catches the eye with niches featuring primitive icons and colorful tiles. But it's the interior which is simply stunning. The baroque decorations are uniquely Mexican and are a joy to behold. No photos allowed.

There are churches, and then there are sanctuaries that glimmer — this is one of them. Hay iglesias, y luego hay santuarios que resplandecen — este es uno de esos. I always carry my faith with me wherever I travel, and La Capilla del Rosario in Puebla felt like coming home to reverence. This golden chapel is hidden within the Templo de Santo Domingo, yet once you step inside, the light, the gold, the art — it commands your full attention and your deepest prayer. Built between 1650 and 1690, it was the first chapel in Mexico dedicated exclusively to Our Lady of the Rosary.  Because of its stunning gilded interior, the chapel has long been spoken of as the “Casa Dorada” — often called Puebla’s Eighth Wonder of the World.  Every wall, every arch, every dome is adorned with gold leaf reliefs, cherubs, angels, vegetal motifs, aquatic imagery (fish, shells, waves) — a design that seems to whisper of sea and spirit.  Below the paintings depicting the life of Mary, you’ll see Talavera tilework — each tile a bead in a giant rosary, framed by angels’ heads.  At the heart of the chapel stands a statue of the Virgin of the Rosary, sheltered under a golden baldachin (ciprés), with Saint Dominic and Archangel Gabriel above — a vertical direction of prayer, faith, and intercession.  Tradition holds that the Virgin of the Rosary also holds a special place in the hearts of mariners — the protector of those at sea. She is prayed to for guidance and safe passage over water — a fitting devotion in this chapel that evokes ocean motifs and divine presence. If you visit Puebla, don’t rush past this gem. Find a quiet moment inside, let the gold light wash over you, and whisper your prayers. It’s not only a monument of art; it’s a place where faith, history, and divine mystery meet. Hay iglesias, y luego hay santuarios que resplandecen — este es uno de esos. Michelle

Gorgeous 😍 not tickets necessary. Just tip the guide.

It's an amazing church to visit. The Rosario chapel is perhaps one of the best examples of the Mexican baroque period. It's well restored and well kept. Worth your visit when in Puebla

Free admission to enter the church. It looks beautiful from the outside and must be from the inside. It is located quite central and easy to find by walking. Entrance accessible for wheelchairs.

A sumptuous chapel located inside the Church of Santo Domingo. You may pay 20 pesos for entry and its money well spent. There is always a line to see the pace because they are only allowing so many people at a time. Tee church is nice but the chapel is over the top, colonial baroque, with gold everywhere. Most impressive.

Magnificent, a must see, I'm no expert but its interior is so ornate it seems as much rococo as baroque. Either way, wow it is gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous! The whole church has an amazing decoration. You gotta be there to fully appreciate every detail

The Zócalo in Puebla is truly the heart of the city and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this vibrant colonial city. As one of Mexico’s most beautiful and historic plazas, it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and lively atmosphere. The square is surrounded by stunning colonial architecture, with colorful buildings and ornate facades that reflect Puebla’s rich heritage. The cathedral, with its impressive baroque design, dominates the skyline and adds to the majestic ambiance of the plaza. During the day, the Zócalo buzzes with activity—locals and tourists alike gather to relax, enjoy street performances, or sip coffee at nearby cafes. At night, the area transforms with beautifully lit buildings, creating a romantic and picturesque setting. The surrounding streets are lined with shops, markets, and restaurants offering delicious local cuisine, including Puebla’s famous mole poblano. It’s a great place to soak in the local culture, do some shopping, or simply people-watch. Overall, the Zócalo in Puebla is a vibrant, historic, and charming place that captures the essence of the city. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just soaking up the lively atmosphere, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Puebla es a historic place and have an amazing cultural history. You can find nice place to eat and buy some gifts.

Fantastic decorations for Dia de Los Muertos all over this Zocalo. I had a great time walking around and taking photos of everything. It was super colorful, very beautiful, and so much fun to be had. The architecture is amazing and the sights and people made my heart sing.

3rd largest city in Mexico and absolutely beautiful!!! Add this to your list if you're visiting Mexico City. Make sure to go to the library and thr church in Centro. We took a tour here and it was excellent. Really enjoyed learning about tye history of the city and the architecture.

This place is amazing. I went for Día de los Muertos and it was such an impressive time there. Everything was amazing. Definitely felt safe even with so many crowds. It was awesome seeing the historic architecture and the preservation of the culture. Saw all types of people from Mexico and around the world. Definitely recommend and I will be going back again!

Alot to see and do here ! Food, stores, walking, browsing,tours, museums, people watch, ZumBa, activities.. something always happening. - Can't fly drones here without a permit

Had a wonderful walk around this area and went inside the church. So beautiful.

This is a gorgeous colonial church with many beautiful paintings and statues both inside and outside. It is massive, like the ones you can find in Europe. I was fortunate to witness the conclusion of a mass where an elderly couple was renewing their vows. A restaurant across the street offers lovely views of the church.

Amazing place, beautiful and huge, a lot of restaurants around.

This is one of the most important buildings in the historic center of Puebla declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is the first large church that under fine architectural designs

This is an absolutely beautiful cathedral. It's free to visit and is fascinating inside and out. The twin bell towers and fine are fantastic architectural structures. But the design of the inside is fascinating. Near the main entrance it splits into two aisles with the organ in between, a big organ. Beyond that is the high altar with columns are statuary. But be sure to keep walking beyond the high altar. At the far end from the main doors is the resplendent Altar of the Kings.

Wheelchair accessible entrance/exit, but no restrooms here. FREE. Absolutely beautiful cathedral in Puebla. It's one of my favorites! It is one of the first temples of the Americas. The inside is covered in gold, so it is a beautiful site to see, welcome to all people. No flash photos or flash videos allowed. It is open on rainy days and shine! It has beautiful paintings and art on the walls, too. It is located in the town center and surrounded by many shops and restaurants.

It’s one of the huge Catholic Church situated in the centre of Puebla. The architecture is majestic and still in very good condition. This is the first building which attract you in the centre of the city.

The Catedral de Puebla, a stunning example of Spanish colonial architecture, is one of Mexico’s most iconic landmarks. Located in the heart of Puebla’s historic center, this 16th-century cathedral impresses with its grand façade, towering bell towers, and beautifully detailed interior. Visitors are captivated by its ornate altars, intricate stained glass, and the impressive main altar designed by Manuel Tolsá. A visit to the Catedral de Puebla is both a spiritual and architectural experience, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history and artistry.

Awesome hike but could use some switchbacks in the steep parts. Lots of stray dogs. Litter all along the trail is kind of ugly. But the hike is definitely worth it.

What an amazing place.. hiking to the top of La Malinche is a life time experience. Definitely a must!

Extremely tough hike and not for the faint hearted. The altitude really takes its toll and you get towards the top. One of our party had to turn around. Lots of dangerous rocks on the way almost to the summit so you have to be extremely careful. Views at the top were nice. The decent was just as perilous with lots of loose rock and deep deep sand in some parts. Not a hike for one If you have bad knees or ankles. Plenty water is required. Stray dogs everywhere along the hike, even at the summit ! Most are freindly and just looking for food. There are definitely nicer and safer hikes in Mexico.

The hike is pretty hard, steep and with altitude. The park is open 7am to 7pm. We took Uber from Puebla and were stopped about 15 mins from the park at 6am. So the earliest you can realistically start is 7:30am. If you take a combi from Apizaco, the only direct one starts at 8:20am from Apizaco. The trail starts easy with mellow steepness until the road stops. Then it gets pretty steep but the ground is firm, still pine forest. When you reach the sandy arenal, the trail gets a little dangerous, with shifting sand and gravel, so you have to be careful. This section is where a guide would have helped, since they take you up and down the most efficient paths. Going down is pretty perilous with steep, shifting ground. If you have bad knees, take into account that going down is going to be just a little faster than going up, unless you can run down the steep parts. There is signal at the top of the mountain but not at the bottom. So you have to take the last 5 pm combi to Apizaco. No water on the mountain, we had 5.5 liters for 2 people and we ran out. When we hiked on March 31st, it was a beautiful, sunny day so did not need any of the rain gear or gloves that we had brought along. Still hazy though, could not see Popo clearly. If you want to see sunrise, you need to stay at the cabins in Centro Vacacional Malintzi. FYI There are some dog packs that follow hikers up the mountain. They are generally friendly, but a few get aggressive when you are eating.

Amazing place! We took the road to start the climb very early with our own car and we reached a gate where the rangers only allow the access at 7AM (no need to pay anything, they just ask your name and qty of person for control). Myself and my wife are experienced climbers and took us 4 hours to reach the summit and 2 and a half hours to go back. There are some parts with soft sand where nice boots and poles are very welcome. When you're around 300 meters from the summit, there are many rocks you need to climb, so be extreme carefully because a fall there will definitely hurt you a lot. If you're willing to see the sunshine from the top, you'll have to camp inside the park.

It's an amazing one day hike! Be sure to take the right path, that can safe you a lot of energy. Don't litter!! It's crazy what people are able to bring with them, but don't take back with them.. My guide was one of the few trying to protect the environment by reducing the damage floods are doing to the lower parts of the mountain and cleaning up all the litter. If your looking for an affordable guide which is also looking after the nature than I definitely recommend you to go with Luis. You can write him a message on Instagram: luislopez5673

This volcano is beautiful. It´s not big like other volcanoes in the country but is comfortable, There are many big trees. There´s a lot of nature. I like to walk, and you have to walk a lot on Malinche. You can see the beautiful landscape from the peak of the volcano. It is a good place for family weekends. You don´t need to eat at the restaurants in the mountain, you can take your food.

Very nice museum, entrance is free. If you want to give a tip it is more than welcome. The museum is very big. They have an elevator for disabled people. The location is in the zócalo of Huamantla.

Great museum in an unlikely place. Large collection of puppets from around the world and great guides. Several puppet shows on weekends. Free entry on Sundays.

The puppet show was very entertaining, the actors use all their talent to present a funny play.. the crowd was very happy and the price certainly wasn't expensive, only 40 presos. Widely recommended!

Cool puppet museum. Takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to visit. No photo inside. Would be better if they have a TV display on a short puppet show.

Was better than I expected! Such a cool place :)

Wonderful collection of the puppet from the past. Great staff. Clean and very well lit. The flow was confusing at times but there are arrows on the floor. I wish I could see them all in action. Highly recommend

The museum was closed (13 March 2021) because of the pandemic. There is a small souvenir shop attached to it that is open where you can buy some puppets and other gifts. Check with the Tourism Department office next door - they can give some recommendations on what's open and places to visit, as well as info on the surrounding areas.

All the family loved this place! So cool how close you can get to the animals 😂 so many nice places to take pics. And the restrooms are very clean. Lots of different places to eat. Highly recommend if you are visiting puebla with the kids!!

I was impressed! My first Safari in life! It was amazing to see different animals so close 🐘 Such a beautiful family experience! Highly recommend 🌟 The only problem can be lots of visitors, so 🚗 cars drive very slowly and under the sun 🌞 it can be a tricky time with kids in a car! So I would choose time to enter wisely. Maybe not weekends if you have opportunity! Area with Lions is just Breathtaking! 🧡🦁

A super cool drive thru zoo. After you drive thru all the way, there is a walking experience where u get to see even more animals and insects. Such a cool experience for the kids. The animals looked very healthy and well taken care of. Such a delightful place, will come back!

Amazing, better than expected. The animals seem to be better treated that in most zoos and this haves a nice concept that makes it different than a normal zoo. Loved the Cows with gigantic horns

Such a phenomenal experience! I 10/10 recommend if you’re visiting to make this place a stop!

One of the best experiences ever. Must do it while near puebla

Go on a Monday, bring your own car and take as much time as you need driving through to see the animals. Staff are accommodating and understanding, not strict about poking your head out of sunroofs.
