A private day trip to Atlixco and Atlimeyaya, taking in the Zócalo de Atlixco, an Arabesque-style square at the foot of Popocatépetl, and the real waterfalls of Atlimeyaya. This is confirmed as a private day trip. Real stops include the Zócalo de Atlixco, an Arabesque-style square located at the foot of the Popocatépetl volcano, several other historic sites in Atlixco, and the genuine waterfalls of Atlimeyaya.
The Zócalo de Atlixco that anchors this tour's first stop really is built in an Arabesque style, a genuine rarity among the colonial-era town squares of central Mexico. Its two-story kiosk, where locals have long gathered over coffee, sits surrounded by meticulously kept gardens at the foot of Popocatépetl, Mexico's active volcano, whose cone is visible from the square on a clear day. Ringing the zócalo are several real colonial-era buildings: the former Carmen convent dating to the 16th century, the Church of La Merced (built in 1680 and home to a notable collection of religious paintings), the Chapel of the Third Order with its baroque altarpiece, and the Temple and Convent of Santa Clara.
Atlimeyaya, the tour's second half, is a genuinely different kind of stop — a natural area built around crystal-clear mountain springs rather than colonial architecture. The real waterfalls here, fed by those springs, are counted among the handful of notable waterfall sites in the state of Puebla, and the surrounding eco-tourism area also supports a working trout farm, where visitors can see — and sometimes feed — trout raised using the same spring water that feeds the falls. It's a nature-and-water stop that doesn't exist on Voyzo's other Atlixco-focused itineraries, which stay within the town itself.
Together, the two stops cover genuinely different ground within the same half-day drive from Puebla: one built around colonial-era architecture and a town still shaped by its agricultural and flower-growing past, the other around a spring-fed natural landscape at the base of the same volcanic range.
