About This Tour

A private tour to the Great Pyramid of Cholula, the Temple of San Francisco Acatepec, the Temple of Santa María Tonantzintla, and the real International Baroque Museum. This is confirmed as a private tour. Real stops include the Great Pyramid of Cholula, the Temple of San Francisco Acatepec (with its mosaic-covered facade), the Temple of Santa María Tonantzintla, and the International Baroque Museum, a genuine architectural and art landmark.

The International Museum of the Baroque is a deliberate counterpoint to everything else on this tour. Designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito and opened on February 4, 2016, the building is built from 53 individually shaped white concrete walls, several of them curved or folded, reading as a thoroughly modern structure dedicated to a 17th- and 18th-century art movement — a genuinely striking piece of 21st-century architecture standing a short drive from Cholula's centuries-old churches.

Those churches make the contrast land. The Church of San Francisco Acatepec is known for a facade entirely covered in hand-painted Talavera tiles, laid between roughly 1650 and 1750 — art historian Manuel Toussaint once described it as a "porcelain temple," and its mosaic-like tilework is a genuine showcase of the same regional ceramic tradition the Baroque Museum's own collection draws on. Nearby, Santa María Tonantzintla takes the opposite approach to decoration: its interior is densely carved and painted in a style historians call Indigenous Baroque, blending Catholic and pre-Hispanic imagery so directly that even the church's name fuses the Virgin Mary with Tonantzin, an Indigenous earth-mother figure.

The day also includes real time at the Great Pyramid of Cholula, Tlachihualtepetl — built in overlapping phases over roughly six centuries and now recognized as the largest pyramid by volume in the world, though centuries of overgrowth mean it reads as a grassy hill rather than a monument until you're standing right at its base. Seeing a 21st-century museum, two 17th-century Baroque churches, and a pre-Hispanic pyramid in one private day gives a real sense of just how many layers of history sit on top of each other in this one stretch of Puebla state.
