CEMPASUCHIL FLOWER FIELDS, A CELEBRATION OF THE DEAD IN MEXICO CITY

Breakfast. Leaving Mexico City, we will visit Santa Maria Tonantzintla and San Francisco Acatepec, where you will see their beautiful Indigenous Baroque churches. Then we will admire the largest pyramid in the world at the archaeological site of Cholula, and its 365 churches. Cholula is one of the nine Magical Towns in the state of Puebla, known for its great tourist attractions, especially its history, archaeology, and evolving art seen in the different works of Talavera pottery, its welcoming and peaceful village atmosphere, its cuisine, and its festivals full of tradition and mysticism. We will continue to the Magical Town of Atlixco de las Flores, founded in 1579, where you can admire the view of the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes, which is impressive from all angles, especially when we see them a few kilometers away, and is one of the postcards with which Atlixco welcomes us. This unique town with a New Spanish heritage will allow you to enjoy its Day of the Dead celebration by visiting the Valley of Catrinas, a festival with several monumental figures alluding to these dates that will be installed at different points throughout the Magical Town. You will walk through its pleasant streets and historic center to see the Municipal Palace, inside which you will find murals that tell its history, most of them by the artist Juan Manuel Martinez Caltenco; the kiosk, the former convent of San Francisco, the monumental clock, and the wide staircase with its mural. During the tour, you will also be able to appreciate works of art and cultural performances. You will find skulls, decorated skeletons, and other elements several meters high, which were made by local artisans. Return transfer to Mexico City.
