Cuetzalan is a charming indigenous gem, far from the noise and bustle of the city, in the northern mountains of Puebla. Upon arrival you are surrounded by its cobbled streets that lead to the colorful center of the town. All along the way you will see artisans, small restaurants and tenants dressed in their traditional clothing. White and red facades, tile roofs and aromas of coffee in a place where time seems to have stopped. Also, if you are lucky and the weather permits, you will be able to witness the flying show. Bartering is still practiced at your local food market on weekends. You will visit some of its natural wonders such as a waterfall and the Yohualichan archaeological zone.

Its importance lies in the fact that it was the first settlement of the Totonac people and it is believed that this could be the advanced site for post-Tajín migration.
The architecture of the ceremonial buildings in Yohualichan is arranged with the traditional niches that distinguished the Totonacs and its main pyramid is oriented linearly to the Tajín for approximately 60 kilometers.

Our trip to Cuetzalan Magic Town was fantastic. The car ride to get there was about 3 hrs. each way but it was well worth it.
We were so glad that we did the day tour. Our tour guides Elisa and Galo was great. We had so much fun with them and
they both were very informative about this tour with all kinds of facts and explananions. The things we saw were great
and glad that we got to experience such beauty. The car ride was great and very interesting. Tour Guides were very
professional. Would absolutely book another tour with them with no doubts.

Este viaje lo organizaron con mi grupo en tercer semestre de la Universidad.
Nos hospedamos en unas cabañas. El primer día dimos un recorrido por la Plaza y bajamos a las grutas.
El segundo día fuimos a la gruta subterránea, donde casi a la mitad de camino ya era un poco mas difícil de avanzar, debido a que la corriente de agua estaba algo turbia, después nos fuimos caminando hacia donde se encontraba una de las cascadas, estuvimos ahí un rato y nos regresamos a las cabañas.
El ultimo día se puso un tianguis en la Plaza, dimos un recorrido y después fuimos a Yohualichan a unas ruinas que se encuentra en esa zona.
