Travel back in time to Cholula's Prehispanic era on this one of a kind experience. Explore Cholula with an archaeologist and enjoy an exclusive Prehispanic meal prepared by a local chef.
If you enjoy local food and culture, this is the experience for you! Journey back to Cholula’s Prehispanic era in the company of an archaeologist and a chef for a one of a kind adventure that includes a short walking tour and a complete Prehispanic meal.
The meeting spot is right in front of the Cholula train station. Carmen, the archaeologist, will be waiting for you there.
The first stop on the tour will be the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies, the famous church built over the world's largest pyramid. After walking up to the courtyard you will visit the church and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of Cholula and Puebla.
Next, you will walk around the ancient center of the Prehispanic city. You will be given an in depth explanation about Cholula’s ancient history, the structure and composition of the archaeological complex, and the way people lived in the Prehispanic era while you admire some of the ruins.
You will then take a 15 minute walk along the streets of one of Cholula’s oldest “barrios” (neighborhoods) where an urban art initiative has fused with a very old traditional lifestyle. During the walk you will see bits and pieces of Cholula's evolution, from ancient times to the present.
Then you will arrive at the home of Jaime, a local chef who will prepare an exclusive seven course meal for you. You will be greeted with a refreshing Prehispanic beverage called pulque and snacks. You will learn about Prehispanic gastronomy and how ancient foods were made using traditional techniques and materials.
After a demonstration from the chef you will have the unique opportunity to prepare one of the Prehispanic recipes included in the menu.
You will enjoy these ancient recipes made with natural, seasonal, and local ingredients while also learning about the history of each dish.
The experience ends once the full meal has been served and enjoyed.
