What you can expect
Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation in Puebla, followed by a scenic drive into the lush Sierra Norte de Puebla, where mist-covered mountains, waterfalls, and ancient ruins await.
The first stop is the Cascada de la Olla, a breathtaking waterfall nestled in the middle of the jungle. Feel the cool mist as you admire the crystal-clear water cascading into a natural pool, surrounded by lush vegetation. You’ll have time to enjoy the serene atmosphere, take photos, or even dip your feet in the refreshing waters.
Next, travel to Yohualichan, an ancient Totonac archaeological site, considered the smaller counterpart of El Tajín. This mystical place features pyramids, ball courts, and intricate stone structures, once used for religious ceremonies and rituals. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the Totonac civilization, its architectural mastery, and the significance of Yohualichan in Mesoamerican history.
After exploring the ruins, continue to Cuetzalan, one of Mexico’s most beautiful Magical Towns. Wander through its cobblestone streets, colonial-era buildings, and vibrant markets, where you’ll find traditional textiles, handcrafted jewelry, and local delicacies. Visit the stunning San Francisco Parish, a striking white church with Gothic influences, and experience the unique culture of this indigenous town, where Nahuatl traditions and rituals are still preserved.
You’ll also have free time to enjoy authentic Totonac cuisine in one of the town’s charming restaurants (meal not included). Savor regional dishes such as tamales, tlayoyos, and coffee grown in the surrounding mountains.
After a day filled with nature, history, and cultural immersion, relax on the scenic return drive to Puebla, where you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation, bringing home unforgettable memories of Cuetzalan’s beauty and the legacy of the Totonac civilization.
