Included
Discover a lesser-known side of Puebla through its ancient ruins and natural wonders.
Explore the archaeological site of Cantona, a remarkable pre-Hispanic city known for its stone-paved streets, plazas, and multiple ball courts — a window into the region’s urban sophistication and social life centuries ago. After walking among its ruins, continue to the volcanic Alchichica Lagoon, surrounded by striking mineral formations. Its calm, turquoise waters offer the perfect setting for a quiet pause, where the stillness of the lake contrasts beautifully with the surrounding semi-arid landscape.
