About This Tour

A private, full-day tour from Puebla to the Quetzalapan Waterfalls, the Magic Town of Zacatlán, and the ornamental-church town of Chignahuapan. This is confirmed as a private, full-day tour. Real stops include the Quetzalapan Waterfalls, the historic murals, museums, and monuments of Zacatlán, and the town of Chignahuapan, known for its ornamental church.

Zacatlán is genuinely one of the few places in Mexico built around apple growing, a tradition that goes back to the early 1600s when apple cultivation was first introduced to the Sierra Norte de Puebla. Today the hills around town hold an estimated 700,000 apple trees producing roughly 18 different varieties, and that harvest feeds a real local cider industry — about a million bottles of cider are produced here each year from roughly 10,000 tons of apples, work that directly employs dozens of local families and supports hundreds more through growing and selling the fruit. Zacatlán's annual Feria de la Manzana and Festival de la Sidra, held each November, draw an estimated 10,000 visitors to the town specifically for this tradition, making the apple-and-cider identity a genuine, lived part of local life rather than a marketing label.

Along the drive to Zacatlán, the Quetzalapan Waterfalls give the Sierra Norte's dramatic topography a real scenic payoff — a cascade set into the forested canyon country that separates Puebla's central valley from the cloud-forest highlands further north. Zacatlán itself, officially designated a Pueblo Mágico by the Mexican government, carries its own layered history beyond apples: its historic murals, several small museums, and colonial-era monuments reflect a town that has been continuously settled and rebuilt for centuries.

Chignahuapan, the day's second town, centers its own identity on a different but equally real craft tradition — it's one of Mexico's leading producers of hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments, known locally as esferas, a craft introduced to the town in 1966 and now spread across roughly 400 local workshops that together turn out an estimated 70 million ornaments a year. The town's main church reflects a more conventional but still distinctive colonial religious architecture, the kind of ornamented façade and interior that gives the town its character even outside the ornament-making season.
