Day 7: We will spend all day in Puebla, that was declared Human Heritage by UNESCO. Puebla is absolutely full of colonial monuments and during these days a lot of activities because of the carnival, so we'll have many nice opportunities to shoot our cameras.

Day 3: Breakfast at the Hotel and away to San Francisco Acatepec Chapel, Tonanzintla chapel and the convent at Huejotzingo, back to hotel for dinner.

Day 4: We will spend all this day at Cholula, very small town, but with more than 35 colonial churches and a very interesting Prehispanic site.

Cholula

Cholula's prominence dates back over 2,000 years with archeological sites in the vicinity yielding links to the Teotihuacan and other local cultures. At the time of Cortes' arrival in Mexico, Cholula was a thriving economic and cultural center with over 100,000 inhabitants. The Cholultecas thought Cortes to be Quetzalcoatl and yielded easily to his demands. In spite of the easy conquest, Cortes' men destroyed the ceremonial temples and built churches in their place.
It is said, Cholula at one time had a church for every day of the year. The spires of these can be viewed as mounds from the top of the Cholula Pyramid, on which a church was also built. In actuality, there are close to forty churches in the area. t

Huejotzingo

One of the most beautiful and original carnivals in Mexico is celebrated here before Ash Wednesday.The Jorongos and the rugs made of wool, are among the most outstanding handicrafts of Huejotzingo and of course the infamous apple cider.
Huejotzingo is one of the first monasteries built by the Franciscans;at the foot of the volcano Popocatepetl, dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the rambling monastery sits atop an ancient mound in the busy town center, secluded from the sounds and bustle of the street within its walled churchyard. The monastery is famous for its many outstanding examples of 16th century art and architecture: the elaborately carved corner chapels of the churchyard, the medieval church doorways spanned by Moorish arches and emblazoned with Franciscan escutcheons, and not least, the extraordinary murals that line the walls of the church and cloister.
