PRE-HISPANIC AND COLONIAL TRADITIONS AMIDST THE MIST AND NATURAL LANDSCAPES

Plaza Principal (Main Plaza)

Start your tour in the center of Cuetzalan, at the main square with a stone floor framed by the white and red buildings of the Municipal Palace and the San Francisco de Asís Parish made of quarry stone.

This square is the epicenter of the large Sunday market that extends through the square and surrounding streets, where residents from all nearby towns come to sell their products. 

Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís

Built in the mid-16th century in a Renaissance and romantic style. Its tower is the tallest in the state, and in the 19th century, a clock was added to it.

In front of the Parish is the tall pole from which the flyers descend on Sundays. Here, you can witness the ancestral tradition of the Flyers, a Totonac ritual.

Casa de la Cultura (House of Culture)

It houses the interesting Calmahuistic Ethnographic Museum, which narrates the incredible cultural richness of the region.

Mercado de Artesanías Matachiuj (Crafts Market)

This is the ideal place to buy colorful and diverse products from the mountainous region of Puebla.

Santuario de Guadalupe (Shrine)

To admire this town of immense traditional flavor, it is necessary to climb up to the Guadalupe Sanctuary, a peculiar construction from the late 19th century in a neo-Gothic style, which is why it is called the Church of the Little Jars.
