YOU NEED TO IMAGINE SOMETHING: Cholula (Mexico), watching the hill

Perhaps, it is necessary that you imagine something, watching this hill. What it conceals is invisible, but I want to tell you something, to whet your curiosity. What is visible in the eyes, I will describe: 365 churches and a city, built – in the sixteenth century – over the ruins of an ancient Indian center. The pre-Hispanic Cholula was a major religious center of India, and is just above the pyramid Tepanapa, you can observe a Franciscan monastery. http://www.visitmexico.com/en/historic-center-cholula-puebla-mexico

The Great Pyramid (475 meters long and 62 meters high), was surmounted by buildings, had a complex water network has several tunnels, some of which frescoed. If you have time, you can also go visit Huejotzingo – a location which is next to the volcano Ixtaccihuatl, but I suggest you visit its Franciscan monastery, as well as its characteristic market, where you can buy a souvenir of your trip to Mexico. https://www.zonaturistica.com/en/tourist-attractions-in/394/cholula-puebla.html

If you become a little bit of time, we could also go to see the church of Santa Maria – five kilometers south of Cholula – to admire its beautiful exterior façade (all covered with white tiles and blue), and also the inside, because itIt is decorated with polychrome reliefs made by Indian artists. We will eat at the restaurant “La Casa de Frida”, in Cholula, in Avenida Hidalgo 109, few steps of the Plaza de la Concordia. http://www.vivecholula.com/ficha-empresas/restaurantes-bares/7/la-casa-de-frida/
