Explore Cantona, the largest and most urbanized city of the pre-Hispanic Mexico and Cholula with the largest pyramid in the world, at your own pace with a personal guide and private driver.

PRICE:

 

Discover the little known Cantona, a pedestrian walled city of 2.6 km2, densely populated, dating back to 200 B.C. A mysterious, extraordinary and magical city to visit.

Meet your guide, a doctor specialized in ethnomedicine and learn all about this mysterious, extraordinary and magical city.

Before visiting the site, taste the traditional ceremonial Aztec cacao beverage. Cacao had an unequaled value within the Aztec culture. It allowed communication between men and divinity and magic.

Walk through the maze of avenues and narrow streets that connect housing complexes with temples, “tlachtli” ball games and patios for ceremonies and sacrifices. Climb the Mirador Pyramid from which you will get an exceptional view on the valley and the Citlaltépetl “Star Mountain”, the highest elevation in all of Mexico.
Learn how all pyramids are orientated according to the sun.

Visit Cholula and its Great Pyramid Tlachihualtepetl, the largest pyramid in the world. The construction of the pyramid dates back to 500 B.C. When the Spaniards built Our Lady of Remedies on top of the pyramid, they thought it was just a hill as the pyramid has been abandoned for 700 years and was totally covered by vegetation.

Get bewildered by the impressive view on El Popocatépetl, one of the three most active volcanoes in the world.
