Cantona and Alchichica Lagoon Tour
Description
Discover an ancient pre-Hispanic city teeming with astonishing features and an incredible volcanic landscape during this excursion to Cantona and the Alchichica lagoon.
Tour to Cantona and Alchichica Lagoon
Our journey begins at 9 am with a pick-up from your Puebla hotel, followed by a two-hour trip to the Cantona archaeological site.
Upon arrival, you will have the chance to visit the courtyards, residences, workshops, and the notable Plaza de la Fertilidad. Fun fact: Cantona was regarded as one of the key cities after the decline of Teotihuacán, boasting a population of up to 80,000!
Following our exploration of this remarkable site, we will make our way to Tepeyahualco around 1 pm, where you'll enjoy a break for lunch. Refreshed, we will proceed to an extraordinary geographical location in Mexico.
Next, we will reach the Alchichica Lagoon, a saline alkaline lake up to 60 meters deep, situated within a volcanic crater. A closer look reveals carbonate sediments along the banks that resemble a genuine coral reef - an astonishing sight!
Finally, we will return to Puebla, arriving back at your hotel by 5 pm.
