Cholula Essentials

Cholula is defined by the Great Pyramid of Tlachihualtepetl, the largest in the world by volume, topped by the 16th-century Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. The city spans centuries of history, from the 800-meter underground tunnel system within the archaeological zone to the colonial Portal Guerrero, which features 46 arches. Modern life centers around the expansive Zócalo de San Pedro and Container City, a sustainable district built from recycled shipping containers.
