Cholula y Atlixco experience (private tour)

1 / 12

Overview

Visiting this Magical Town is simply an aromatic and multicolored adventure. This town is home to the extraordinary multicultural music and dance festival Huey Atlixcayotl, as well as the Ex Convento del Carmen, the Church of La Merced dating from 1680, the chapel of the Third Order with its magnificent altarpiece and endless monuments full of history.

This ancient indigenous capital, guarded by the Popocatépetl volcano, is in fact two cities, San Pedro and San Andrés; the seat of the largest pyramid in Mesoamerica; with almost a million cubic meters, experts say that it is bigger than that of Giza

Pre-Hispanic shrines, Mudejar arches, baroque domes, convent-fortresses and boundless indigenous creativity coexist in the spiritual and artistic explosion of what is now Cholula.

    The history of the Atlimeyaya trout begins in 1984, the year in which the so-called Xouilin fish farm is established. This trout farm has gained fame thanks to the number of fish that are available. Here there are albino, blue, brown, brown and even multicolored trouts, called rainbow trout, all in quantities that are in the thousands.
    In this farm not only trout are raised, but information is disseminated about the process involved in this activity. Here we explain the biology of these animals, their habitat, natural and artificial reproduction, cultivation techniques and even recipes.
