Cholula is best know for its pyramid complex which is oddly both under, and over, whelming. By sheer volume the pyramid complex was possibly the world's largest. The pyramids were connected by underground tunnels, some of which are open to the public.
But the largest pyramid is now covered with vegetation, and topped with a church.
Still the remaining ruins and the maze of tunnels are well worth the price of admission (about 5 dollars).
On the way up the hill to the church is a smaller basilica.
The main church in town requires no climbing.
Before climbing and tunneling, we enjoyed a meal at Los Jarrones. Roslyn had an enchilada with mole poblano, while I went with my standby, chorizo and cheese.
After our trek we found a nice cantina near the exit.
If you visit Puebla, you would be remiss to skip Cholula.
