Leaving the town of Cholula you will take a short 20-minute ride to the town of Tonantzinto visit Santa Maria Tonantzintla church.  The church dates from the 16th century and is of a modest size. The internal profuse decoration was added in the 18th century and is absolutely stunning: many people say it surpasses in extravagance to rival anything in Mexico. Every available inch of the apse, of the vault and of the dome is covered with embossed moldings representing greenery, flowers, and fruits: it is a thick bush which completely conceals the underlying surface, and from which innumerable faces peep out.

Beautiful Puebla is the fourth-largest city in Mexico just  a few miles Cholula,

Start at the Puebla Cathedral, with its stunning black limestone front and stunning gold organ, which is the second-tallest church in the country.  Also, visit the main square and the government palace before breaking for lunch.
