If you are visiting Puebla, don't miss the wonderful Cholula, located 8km southwest of Puebla, about 3 hours from Cuernavaca. It is one of the most holy places in Mexico. Predating  Teotihuacan by perhaps 400 years, it was still an active spiritual center at the  time of the conquest in 1521, and has the world's largest pyramid, covering 46 acres.

Today Cholula has , so they say, a church for every day of the year! The great pyramid of Cholula, left from prehispanic times, is slowly being excavated and restored and is known as one of the major archeological wonder of our times. The frescoes are some of the most famous in Mexico, and date back to the Classic period. Hidden tunnels and the frescoes are deep within the pyramid.
