Description
Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation in Puebla, followed by a scenic drive to the charming town of Atlixco, famous for its pleasant climate, colonial architecture, and breathtaking views of the Popocatépetl volcano.
Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour of Atlixco’s historic center, where you’ll explore its colorful streets and lively Zócalo. Admire the San Miguel Arcángel Church, a beautiful colonial-era church that stands as the heart of the town. Then, visit the Cerro de San Miguel, a small hill offering stunning panoramic views of Atlixco and the surrounding valleys.
Next, stop at Atlixco’s renowned nurseries and flower markets, where you’ll witness why this town is known as the 'Flower Capital of Mexico.' Walk among a variety of vibrant plants and flowers, and if you’d like, take home a beautiful souvenir from one of the local vendors.
After exploring Atlixco, continue your journey to Chipilo, a fascinating town founded in 1882 by Italian immigrants from Veneto. Unlike any other place in Mexico, Chipilo has preserved its Italian heritage, including its Venetian dialect, traditions, and gastronomy.
Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious cheese and wine tasting, experiencing artisanal cheeses made with traditional Italian techniques, along with locally produced wines. Learn about Chipilo’s cheesemaking history, which has been passed down for generations, and discover the unique fusion of Italian and Mexican flavors.
After a day filled with history, culture, and exceptional flavors, relax on the drive back to Puebla, where you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation, taking home unforgettable memories of Atlixco’s charm and Chipilo’s Italian heritage.
