What to expect
Desde nuestro tranvía podrá disfrutar de maravillosas vistas de la Pirámide de Cholula, la más grande del Mundo en cuanto al tamaño de la base.
Es la muestra del Barroco popular en su máxima expresión. El emplo es del Siglo XVI y "Tonanzintla" significa "Lugar de nuestra madrecita". En la cultura prehispánica Tonantzi es uno de los nombres de la diosa del maiz y está asociada a la protección de los hombres. Sin duda, este templo es uno de los más hermosos y extraordinarios de México, pues muestra el Barroco Mexicano en su máxima expresión: decorada con maíz y ángeles morenos con rasgos indígenas.
10 minutes
El templo muestra el barroco mexicano. Entre 1650 y 1750 fue decorada por los alfareros poblanos con mosaicos de Talavera Poblana dando una belleza única en México.
