Entrance was free on Sunday when I visited. Google said it opened at 10 am, but they opened at 10:30. There are several fountains, but only 2 are in operation. there is a mix of shade and sunny areas. Bathrooms are at the entrance and so is the art display. My favorite was "el carnaval de la carne." Overall, it is a nice place to walk, take pictures or hide from the sun. With proper garden grooming, more plant variety and lake cleaning, this could be a paradise. There is a parking across the street $16pesos/hr. Church, arts and crafts vendors and restaurants surround the garden center. I would like to come back in a rainy season to see how the garden trives when water is abundant.

Nice place but unfortunately not well maintained.

Nice place to go for a walk. Unfortunately, the fountains weren't on. I was told that there used to be events held here to pay for upkeep so now the fountains are only on during the rainy season. At the time of my visit, there was an art exhibit for feminism and I saw some of the artworks as very unusual.

Beautiful garden even during dry season. There were interesting art exhibitions. Entrance was reasonable and free during Semana Santa. Bathrooms were clean. Great place to wander on a hot day as there is plenty of shade. The store attached was very good too.

It's an awesome historical site where yo can walk among the gardens and see the museum chambers

Great beautiful place to walk enjoy the amazing views . Staff very friendly! I'll come back pretty soon!

Beautiful place to take a romantic stroll with your loved one- take your choice of an art gallery, cultural celebrations, music, vendors or row a boat around the pretty green lake.

Very eclectic and beautiful gardens and swimming pool to enjoy. While you can't swim, you can imagine yourself living here and enjoying the wonderful weather. The hodgepodge of collected items from around the world will keep you interested for at least a little bit.

When we walked in, a woman leaving said “it’ll blow your mind” and she was correct. Stunning home!

An amazing collection of art and a beautiful home. We had a private tour guided by Sergio, providing details that made it even better.

Fantastic art museum in a beautiful restored colonial mansion. A must see in Cuernavaca. Lots of colonial religious art beautifully displayed with antique Asian art and works by more modern artists like Rivera, Tamayo, and Frida Kahlo. Beautiful gardens too.

Amazing collection from all over the world. I wish it was better organized but wow they have some incredible pieces.

There are no words to describe how much I enjoyed this unique place. It is a true feast for the eyes 😍

A really unique, special place. Considering Bob was openly gay, it's full of images of naked women and Jesus/Mary. Fun fact: the water doesn't run when you turn on the taps and the towels in his bathrooms only smell a tad musty.

The building itself is impressive even from a distance. It’s clear that Hernán Cortés wasn’t exactly a likable man—he had to fortify himself well. At the entrance, you'll find statues, but don’t expect to see Cortés among them. If you’ve spent even a little time in Mexico, you’ll know he’s not exactly a national hero here. Now, about the museum. The most important thing to note—there’s absolutely nothing from Cortés inside. Not a single artifact, not even a rusty colonial-era nail. Instead, the exhibition features a lot of small sculptures found in Morelos, along with an oddly large collection of so-called contemporary art. Judging by the exhibit titles, the idea was to merge indigenous art with modern vision—but it didn’t really work. The indigenous figurines and even a stone safe for valuables are interesting, but the contemporary pieces? Not at all. Some rooms still have murals from the early 20th century. Technically modern, but nearly a hundred years old by now. I noticed that some visitors found them engaging, but personally, I didn’t see much artistic value in them. The museum also has murals by Diego Rivera, but during my visit, they were under restoration and inaccessible. The best part of the visit? The balcony, which offers a great view of downtown Cuernavaca. Entrance costs 100 pesos, which feels a bit pricey for just five rooms and a couple of balconies. At least you can pay by card—that’s a plus.

Everything is in Spanish. Normally I leave reviews in English but I want to make this clear to English speakers. It's worth a 5 star visit FOR THE MURAL ALONE. But just be aware that to fully enjoy the museum you'll need to read Spanish at a high level or use an optical translator. On the other hand, the crafts and artifacts are interesting to look at without Spanish. You can do the museum in about 30 minutes if you're not reading.

Though well laid out,the museum was sparse of displays. Still enjoyed the walk through

Really interesting experience! A lot of interesting signs but make sure you have a translate app as all in Spanish. Very reasonable price and nice staff!

A nice museum that has the potential to grow. Beautiful mural paintings and a great overview of the different cultures. Entrance fee is $90 (Nov/2023)

Well worth visiting to see the Diego Rivera murals. Other interesting exhibits too

Oh Folks, go see and support this reopened museum. Very good and well assembled. Sure you will enjoy it. MickT 😎

Lovely little site in the middle of Cuernavaca. No longer can enter the pyramid after 2017 earthquake damaged the structure. Still loads of very useful information around the site. Very good price to see something created so long ago, also has toilets on site and the staff were very welcoming. Signs need slightly updating as the sun has worn them down slightly.

A wonderful place inside Cuernavaca , right next to the new concert hall truly captivating, a similar two temple at the top pyramid structure dedicated to war and water , Cuernavaca had a wonderful prehispanic past and several houses still have hidden treasures and secrets hidden throughout the city Come visit

The place although very small compared to other ancient archeological sites is quite interesting and well kept. The information on the signs is enriching

Not the most elaborate of archaeological sites. We weren't able to walk to the top of the largest platform. The site is still interesting enough to capture your imagination

This place is very beautiful to witness the prehispanic architecture design and informational guide explaining what they were used for. It provides 3 languages: Spanish, English, and Nahuatl writings to captivate the audiences attention. It's not a big park but not small, just enough to tour around the area. When I went there, the main temple, in the center and supposed to represent the templo Mayor (Main temple) in Tenochtitlan (Mexico city now), was off limits to go up. Probably due to the weather and human that greatly affected the pyramid, but still can go on other smaller ones.

Nice area to stroll around when the weather is nice. Due to an earthquake, you're not allowed to climb or entire the main pyramid.

A wonderful experience. The receptionist was very helpful and the history behind the pyramids is so intriguing

If you can go as early as possible (opening time is 9), it will be quiet and peaceful. It'll be so early that the markets at the beginning of the route won't be open yet. The hike up is challenging so you do need a basic level of fitness but it is so worth it. The pyramid is small but don't let that put you off. It's a piece of history which is preserved and tells us more about this world and for only 100 pesos entry, it's well looked after. The most beautiful part of this is the view that you are rewarded after your hike. Highlight of my time here.

I had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to write this review once I had the chance. Perhaps I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but it seemed like nowhere was it mentioned that the path to this archaeological site takes approximately two hours if you’re not particularly fit. It’s genuine rough terrain—true hiking. According to my data, to reach the summit where the pyramid is located, you need to ascend about 400 meters vertically, which is roughly equivalent to climbing a 130-story building on foot. So, please keep this in mind, and most importantly, it seems that, judging by the number of people there—including small children being carried and elderly individuals—very few are actually aware of what lies ahead. Well, now you know. As for the archaeological site itself, to be honest, it’s probably not worth the climb, at least not more than once. There are a lot of people, and the charm of a secluded mountaintop spot dissipates. However, the pyramid stands right on the edge of a cliff, and behind it is a steep drop, reminiscent of the scene in the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn,” where the bar is revealed to be an ancient temple, and vampires would toss bodies and cars down below. This could have served as a prototype for that scene in the film. You can climb onto the pyramid, by the way, but the archaeological zone itself isn’t all that impressive. I must say, the ascent was quite a surprise, and don’t forget that you also have to descend, which isn’t exactly easy either. Oh, and at the end, they’ll charge you 100 pesos for visiting the area, of course. Overall, it’s pretty cool; everyone takes photos and is happy they made it. Those still climbing can be encouraged as you descend. So, it’s alright.

Really nice place! 90% of the hike has stairs, so as long as you have average condition, you should be able to safely hike this hill. I get why, but asking you to pay $100 mxn to see something you are already seeing (the pyramid-like construction) felt like it was not worth it (not complaining about the price, it is fair)

A beautiful place to visit the egg is very pleasant and the view from the top is stunning. I would recommend anyone to go there, the hike is a bit tough but it’s worth it. Take good shoes and water

Beautiful hiking! The path to the pyramid is very demanding but the view from there is amazing. The site is not well maintained, there is no bathroom and a lot of trash. To access the site you need to pay MXN 100 and it only accept cash.

The hike is strenuous, prepare in advance. Takes 3-4 hours to complete the whole trek. You will gain almost 2000 feet (600 meters) while going up. The trek is 1.4 miles (2 kms) one way. Keep 100 pesos per person, they take the entrance ticket just before the pyramid. Overall its a very nice hike with beautiful view at the top.

Entry to the pyramid (and the beautiful view) closes at 3pm/15:00, but there are no signs to indicate that until you’ve gone all the way up. Bummer! It’s a beautiful hike otherwise, and you’ll get a good workout.

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.

Very quiet on a Friday. Lots of different pools for kids. Permits pool floats. Only downside is they only open certain rides during scheduled times during weekdays.

Can’t Wait to Go Back El Rollo is a fun water park for the entire family. There is something for everyone. El Rollo can be enjoyed all year long, since the town it is in, Jojutla, is warm all year long. El Rollo isn't that crowded. The wait time for each ride is about 2-5 minutes. Sometimes, there is nobody in line at all! (The times we have gone have been during the week, so I’m not sure how crowded it gets on the weekend.) The food that they have is only so-so. We had the rotisserie chicken, and it was bland. They do have a variety of restaurants (a Traditional Mexican food restaurant, Dominos Pizza, Subway sandwiches, Alas alitas, a hamburger stand, and a couple of snack bars). My recommendation is to bring your own food and drinks. I was happily surprised they allowed outside food and drinks to be brought in. El Rollo is a very clean and organized park. There are lots of tables in shaded areas or with umbrellas. There are also a lot of pool chairs in the children’s section and near the wave pool. The temperature of the water is perfect. I have been to other water parks and public pools in Mexico and the water is often freezing at those places. The lockers are very convenient (there are several locker locations). You can get a locker for $60 pesos or a private locked changing room for $100 pesos for the day. The private changing room will hold up to 5 suitcases. The workers are very friendly and know the place very well so it is easy to find what you need (rides, bathrooms, restaurants, etc). The best part (as it should be) is there’s a great variety of water slides. There are slides the family can do together, slides for 2 people, daredevil rides (like the Pendulum), a wave pool, a river with waves, a large area for little kids (at 3-4 PM there are foam bubbles), and a surfing/boogie board simulator (the simulator costs a little extra). My family loves El Rollo so much we bought an annual pass.

Went on a Wednesday, not packed. Lots of fun. Huge place. We only went thru barely half of the park. You can bring your own food and drinks. You can get a Sam’s club or Santander card discount (not aware of other types of discounts), website also says there’s a discount. very clean. Lockers are available of diff sizes.

El rollo what can I say about this place I've been going for years since I was to small to ride the big rides this is one of those places that your really just have to see and check out for yourself it's well worth it just make sure your kids are taller then 48in if not they still have plenty of rides for the little ones and two little water parks not far at all from all the action. One of my favorite rides is El racer you basically control the speed the harder you push off the faster you go and if you paid attention in science that's an advantage as you know when to pull up and drop your weight.

Fun water park, entrance tickets are about 27 dollars each,you can bring an ice chest or there is several places to eat inside the park which are pricey overall good experience

My family and I had a good time, we traveled from Minnesota, although the date might not had been the ideal, we nade the best of it before the sun set!!

This place is fun for your kids. Adults can enjoy the wave pool and the lazy river. The lazy river was fun, it deeper than usual and has waves which makes it fun. My family enjoyed it alot. We took food in so I did not try the restaurants inside.

Decent tourist attraction to visit. They charge 65 pesos (~$3.25 USD) per person to enter over 1.2 meters in height ( basically over 8 yrs). Place is runned down but it's a local Hotspot. They have small cafes inside or you can bring your own food. They have lockers and showers to rinse off.

A beautiful place that I've been visited since I was a little boy and sadly looks like the management hasn't updated it at all, the place looks neglected, very sad, I still like it a lot, please take care of it.

These old buildings are not cleaned regularly and don't get any maintenance. Everything inside is extra, like the table, chairs, and changing room. It's not that green, more like alsfalt than grass.

Great place to relax. Unfortunately, they do not have the same water pressure as before the 2017 earthquake. Still a great place to make memories. Aggressive swimwear vendors in front by ticket booth slightly damage the experience. The ice cream lady that is sometimes in front by the exit is the greatest however.

The place is gorgeous the water highly healthy the nature amazing, employees are very kind and nice guys. The facilities are absolutely neglected showers and toilets are completely disastrous.

The park is spacious, the pools are clean and there are a couple for all ages. However, since the last earthquake, the natural spring is just dropplets.

Simple and familiar, not an adventure water park. You can swim in the pool, bathe in sulfuric waters or chill in one of the green areas. Under reservation there are jacuzzis, dry and wet saunas and massages, and they aren't pricey. If you want to eat inside, there are small cafes and dinners, and they aren't expensive, but you can also BYO. Boost is sold inside, you can't bring it from outside.

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) 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.

It was our special trip to Atlixco for Dia de los Muertos 🧡 Very crowdy though, but that’s because of the festival and a weekend 💀 We found a lovely restaurant with a balcony so that was a perfect choice to hide from heat and crowd and still enjoy the atmosphere of this Place! 🌿☺️ Worth visiting for sure!

The church in el Zócalo of Atlixco was once considered the most beautiful church in Mexico. The town itself is very colorful and most of the tourist attractions are just a few blocks away, we took a short tour in a small 6 seater tour bus at 60 pesos per person and they were very thorough covering the history of the town. We were also told by a local that we couldn't leave without trying their local speciality "cecina" which is a very thinly sliced steak cooked and cut in strips (for tacos). So we headed to the market, 2 blocks away from the Zócalo and had some delicious cecina tacos with nopales, fresh cheese and aguacate on blue, green and purple corn tortillas! We left with very fond memories of Alixco =)

Great time to visit this time a year. The city lights up the plaza and the streets beautifully

Beautiful Place, full of flowers everywhere! Loved to walk around in this wonderful small city!

It is a nice place to go, especially in December as they have 'Villa Iluminada'. You can take some guide tours. It is a bit affected because of the earthquake that happened in September... but it stills nice to visit. You will not regret.

Its an awesome place, I can tell you that it's a good side to enjoy with your family or relationship, you can take a cup of coffee, go to some restaurants and take a beer... In the middle of the garden there is an coffee Italian restaurant and that it's too nice. There's too, the Municipal Palace in front of. I recommend 45% (it depends what kind of place are you looking for).

Gorgeous by day or night. Visit during Dia De Muertos. Amazing decor.

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.

A good selection of stores and food choices. Although for a mall, it seems a little bland. Don't let that discourage you though. As it's still possible to explore here.

Nice place to visit and walk around many things to see. It's close to the mercado

The food is at a good price and as a plus there is a burger king

Plaza Atlixco Puebla Mexico Where you can Get and Watch the latest Hollywood Ca Movies that were Just released by the Studios. Hollywood Ca my home Town.

It is hard to find a spot with shadow, because there is not a single three.

ITS VERY NICE,TO GO TO THE MOVIE TEATHER.....

Good businesses but waiting time in the food court is absurd

Easy entry, nice view. There was a „radio“ in the capsule and the content was a bit annoying because it was just advertising. Some information about Puebla would have been nicer.

It seems new and very well maintained. . it is a very large Ferris wheel .. if I remember right it was 80 pesos a person they had some deluxe style seats for like vip people that were like 800 for 6 people . There was absolutely no one else on it when we went so there was no line and no waiting .. pretty good view .. it goes very very slow takes probably 10 or 15 minutes to go around .. you can see the majority of the city from the top .. I would pay to ride it again for sure.. I don't normally give 5 stars I am fairly conservative with them but this was worth 5 stars I think..

Amazing views! VIP basket has a glass bottom and very comfortable seats. View from the top is amazing, if you can try to catch the sunset! Totally worth visiting!

The view is good. But we went when all the cars were empty and yet they crammed everyone into one cabin... just so they can sell their vip tickets. I can understand this policy during busy times, but not when the wheel is empty. The seller didn't explain this policy when I was in the ticket booth.

Smooth experience, beautiful view of the city, and the ferris wheel isn't super fast, so you can take your pictures and videos but also soak in the view all at the same time. Staff were super nice, and the cost is only 80 pesos!!!

Very nice place, to affordable very fun

If you can go with friends the experience could be better, if you are going alone you're gonna share the cabin with random people.

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 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.

Loved this park! People of all ages can enjoy it! It's nestled between mountains and the nature that surrounds the activities are well preserved and incorporated. Highly recommend you include this place on your visit to Puebla.

A nice location a entertiment park as well for childrens and also for adults. There is no any volcano. There are tirolians nice, karting, a small zoo. You can spent easy anyway 3 hours.

Excelente lugar para disfrutar en familia. A very good place to enjoy with your family. Many attractions for kids and adults.

Great natural place, beautiful gardens, amazing Jurassic area. Clean and very well attended. You can see the Orizaba peak so near.

Great place awesome experience, check a stay the tree house cabins and bubble rooms Very clean and covid protocol complaint. You will enjoy it

Lots of activities and CAMPING! The only thing I didn't like is you can't bring your own food.

Awesome experience , be ready to walk all day long try to dress comfy and bring and extra sweater lol

HORRIBLE !!! LETS FREE THESE ANIMALS ! It's so sad to see wild animal in cage, no space in the middle of the city. Do you want to live like that ? It's not a place for a tiger or a bear... humans are so bad...

It's totally free. Family and friendly. You can see lot's of exotic animals, kind of a zoo. Must wear comfortable clothing and shoes because you have to walk a lot. Perfect for spending your free time. Better watch out and find out what the trip hides! (For example, you can take a look at the locks of love and friendship placed on the bridges).

This site is awesome for tourists. You can walk through the park and will find a multitude of animals like lions, tigers, monkeys, and turtles. Best of all, it’s completely FREE! :)

We really like walking along the river !! It’s very nice 👍

Orizaba is a wonderful place for so many reasons. The river is one of them, just awesome to watch

This is the end of the riverside walk, admiring the murals and the various animal enclosures, around 3 km one way from the teleferico area and double that for returning in the other direction on the opposite bank. Pedestrian bridges as well as vehicular bridges ( with steps to reach them) cross the river at frequent intervals. Not to be missed on a visit to orizaba. Here is where one finds the tiger, hippo. Some animal enclosure enroute are too tiny, wish they had more space.

It's a fun park, a lot of animals

Beautiful building designed by Gustav Eiffel

Really cool place and very romantic in the evening. I can really recommend the place and there is a small museum and a nice Cafe/bar.

I love this beautiful palace It is iconic and full of history. His beautiful structure, museums, coffee shop and beautiful garden around just make perfect to seat and relax to enjoy it and transport on time. One of my favorite places to visit every time I am in Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico.

Several museums and a cafe are located in this art nouveau landmark located in Orizaba. The entrance fee is 50 pesos to enjoy this building to the fullest. Just beautiful and grandiose. You won’t want to miss it while in Orizaba.

Beautiful building, it has a lot of museums inside, official souvenir store and also there is a cafe that smells so good!

Nice place to take a good coffee ☕

Interesting palace, museos are amazing

Muy lindo el rio y los animales, no es recomendable benir en tempradas de fin de año. It gets really packed, and the lines are very long. Be sure to bring an umbrella or buy one at the gift shop for $150.00 pesos about $8 dollars. Be sure to bring good walking shoes.

I recommend going up and coming down by cable car. The view from the gondola is fantastic. Looking at the queue, it seems like there's a long wait at the valley station. The price per trip is 35 pesos.

Lines took over an hour. And then half hour to rerun at the top. Ride is super short. Idk if it’s worth the wait to be honest. Only if you have extra time to spend

Killer views of such a incredible area. Very kind & helpful staff working the summit. The hike back down was fun, but quite slippery from the mud from recent rain. Took us about an hour to finish the hike. Worth the money

Great views of the city. Highly recommend if visiting Orizaba

If you like heights (or even if you’re a liiiittle scared) and nice views, this is definitely recommended. You get a nice view of Orizaba as you stop and get off at the top of the mountain to explore more things and get a better view. We loved our experience here!

Amazing place to visit, so many things to do and see! I hope to be able to go again! The zip line was wonderful! There is lines but they move quickly and are shaded. A wonderful place to visit, kid friendly, and lots to explore!

All is beautiful And the personal is atent and help you with the tour

Enjoyed Madison and other restaurants here over many years. Also the museum is a captured look at a wealthy household of the past. My favorite is always the Don Quixote room. Spend some time and look around.

Beautiful building with many places to eat seating places to enjoy the view, internet, and my favorite of all the museum of Francisco Gabilondo Soler " Cri Cri". His music, biographic and children songs are fantastic. You can transport in time. It is good to bring your children. It is free and very clean too.

I was totally enchanted visiting Orizaba veracruz México Mier y Pesado park and museum is one of the best historic places of this Magical Towm

Highly recommended place to visit. Inside there are several museums including the one for Francisco Gavilondo Soler, the creator of Cri-Cri.

Everything good except… the playground for children, (that will be just next to the Christmas decoration) has games that are totally rusted, the metal parts can be dangerous for them. I Hope they fixed it as the place itself has become a city jewel.

This seems mostly for hosting events or walking around or a picnic. Not a ton to do otherwise.
