It takes an hour from Puebla What I LIKED about Cholula are the RUINS, of course. You pay about $3 to enter into what felt like a mine shaft that is completely DARK, COOL, DANK and crowded. I was a bit nervous as some of the Mexican tourists ahead of me kept stopping to look at scratches in the wall or a relic in a hole. At one point, there was an angry MOB behind me yelling to get the slo-pokes up front moving. Once you're out of the cavern you find yourself upon a lower landing in front of a church. Then you walk around this mountain up a hill PAST food, chatchkey and religious vendors up to the church.
Lovely yellow church on top of a mountain as is usually the case in Mexico as the Spaniards BUILD most of their Catherdals right on top of the Indigeonous' .. So the discovery of the ruins UNDER and AROUND the church is the tourist attraction.
I hope this makes sense. |

|  | Pyramids around the Church So, around the Church you will be amazed at the views that can be found. It is also amazing to see the ruins peeking out from the sides of the mountain as this area is STILL being renovated. |
Here are the ruins So, someday in the future, we'll be able to see the ENTIRE PYRAMID! This is just a LEG of it ... Outstanding, yes? |  | |
