Amazing review. I was born in Puebla and I love this city. There are not 365 churches in Puebla, there are 365 chapels in Cholula, a church can have a few chapels, that’s why you can’t find 365 churches. My favourite place in Puebla is the underground tunnels that were open to the public recently (discovered in 2015), but they are more than 500 years old and about 10km in length, they are the reason the troops of France were defeated in the famous battle of 5 de Mayo.
That 365 churches in Puebla is definitely a weird myth or legend, my girlfriend’s family is from Cholula and even they thought it was true just because it’s such a common myth. There isn’t 365 chapels either in Cholula though.
Hi everybody I’m from Puebla city and got to say that Puebla is a amazing city. We have food delicious , nice places and a beautiful historic places you got to visit us
@@delosangeles_2361. If you haven’t been to Mexico yet, your concern doesn’t apply to ANY of Mexico. I’m just an old white guy that can’t speak Spanish and everybody in Mexico will be super nice to you. Even though they would ever show it, if your from the US, they probably would be more racist because of that, not because your black. But then again, they would never show it. I’ve been bouncing around the state of Oaxaca for 3 months, then came to Puebla city 2 days ago. I feel I hit the jack pot! This beats anything I’ve seen yet. I’m not a city person. But this doesn’t feel like a big city!
@@delosangeles_2361I’d recommend Puebla one of the safest states in the Mexico , the people are welcoming. Both my parents are from Puebla, I actually just came back from a week vacation in Puebla. 🇲🇽 🇺🇸
Getting ready to move there with my husband and kids my husband is from there I'm really scared I'm from the US but I feel like it's time for us to be with his family he hasn't seen in years
Fantastic video! Very informative and helpful. Beautiful place. The food looks delicious and that boutique hotel! Wow! Unlike any place I've seen. The colors, the photography...excellent like everything from Run The Atlas! Thank you and keep them coming!😁
I'm staying in puebla in MArch 2024 to do some biking hiking nd mountain climbing..then head to Durango for the Eclipse on 4/8. So happy you showed me puebla...i can't beleive i chose this city! Excited!
I’m here in Puebla (Feb, 2024) I drove down to Mexico 3 months ago from Maine. I did what most tourist do, and started hitting the places that people talk about a lot, like Oaxaca city. Almost every place I went to, I was disappointed because their almost impossible to drive in, no place to park, and couldn’t get out of them fast enough. But then I came to Puebla. I’ve only been here 2 days, but I feel I hit the jackpot. This city is large, but doesn’t feel big. There’s just a lot if it. Driving here is much easier. The streets are wide, and the traffic is controlled by traffic lights, and not speed bumps (Topes) every block. I will definitely be spending 2-3 weeks here maybe more. I’m retired and plan on heading back home in April. You picked a good destination! Excellent video by the way!
I’m from Atlixco, Puebla, the best small town in Puebla, we call it Cuidad de las Flores, every year they make art out of flowers and put them on the road, I’m in the USA now but if anyone goes to Puebla order Pambazos, Memelas, Semitas, Pozole, Mole, Gorditas, Chile Relleno
@@RunTheAtlas there’s so many exclusive/exquisite dishes in Puebla! I miss the chapulines my grandma used to make, she would get up early and go catch them in the Atlixco fields
My family is from puebla and I have gone there so many times as a kid and an adult. I love it there. I hope puebla does not grow in popularity because it was attract so many Americans and Europeans and really raise the prices up on everything like if it was another Rosarito.
También en Puebla está el volcán más pequeño del mundo y se puede entrar. También hay volcanes que se convirtieron en lagunas de coral. Saludos desde Puebla 🙋
Thanks for the video. I am planning to go in June. Cholula pyramid and Teotihuacan we're my interests as well as the culture,food etc. I had not heard of the other Pyramid, i think you said catona. I will look into that one also
That's awesome! Yes - Teotihuacan is a must. The pyramids we went to are called Zona Arqueológica de Cantona - it is one of the lesser-known pyramids but the complex is huge! Enjoy your trip 😀
Soy de México del estado de puebla si alguien en algún momento visita nuestro estado puedo ayudarles a mostrarles lugares hermosos y pueblos hermosos de esta ciudad además de darles hospedaje y calurosa bienvenida
@@ricardoalejandrosaldana633 no bro, de hecho puebla no está entre los estados más peligrosos de México, claro, eso no quiere decir que no haya delincuencia, claro, la hay, pero pues eso pasa en todos los estados y en todo el mundo
Also in Puebla city are tunnels, and Fort of loreto and Guadalupe where the cinco de mayo happened, the architecture is very different and unic, is the only with a own style, in Puebla city u can visit the firts public librabry in all América
We are retiring to Mexico soon. We are going to start in San Cristobal de las Casas, but Puebla and Cholula in particular may be our second stop. We are cool weather lovers and like medium size towns, so we may live in Cholula and visit Puebla. It is nice that the big hospitals in Puebla are just a 30 minute drive away. We also hear the food is fantastic !
You did a pretty good job on this. We have a new home in San Pedro Choula, and enjoy so much of the area. Loma de Angelopolis in also a great city right there at Puebla... dinning, shopping, and really anything you can do in CDMX. There are also bike and walking trails with bridges over large streets which make for a safe journey.
Just finding your channel and I love it! Do you think one week would be too long in Puebla? I just booked 7 nights there to get away from Mexico City for a bit but I fear it will be too long
Excellent video! Lived there as a child and have taken my wife a few times. Did you hire a guide while there? We will be returning and would like to expand our places to see, for example the archeological area other than Cholula. I hadn’t heard of it. Thanks, Joe
If you want something more like the US in the city of Puebla, go to Angelopolis which is belongs to the same metropolitan area, malls and malls and modern arquitecture you will find it there. Puebla has everything.
Beatifull guerita,I'm from Puebla and just so you know you need to go outside de city go to diferent Pueblos mágicos,did you try chiles en nogada, tacos Arabes,Cemitas, chalupas,The best mole Poblano,there is a lot to see in Puebla,did you visit cholula, chipilo,yu You will be amazed, with our culture. Thank you, sweety!
Yes I did! Great recommendations a Cholula and Chipilo are gorgeous. Chipilo has Italian culture which was surprising. Check out our Cholula tour and vlog here: WELCOME to PUEBLA MEXICO - TOP THINGS to SEE and DO! #puebla #travelvlog ruclips.net/video/NdxHSVQ0He0/видео.html
The historical area is nice, but I would recommend looking for lodging just outside of the area. Pace is slower and quieter, and more of an authentic, locals type experience.
I am from puebla city and well it’s a beautiful city el zocalo es muy bonito! There are many places to see in the city but please if you go you habe to try “las cemitas dela arena puebla” amazing by far the best! Cemitas is a traditional sandwich like food that you can only eat there in puebla and la arena puebla is the puebla’s wrestling arena.
Hello , from Palmdale ca. Known as the Antelope Valley . I really appreciate your video . My father had a long lost sister that ran away from home in Jalisco Mexico . She was 17 years old at the time… My dads wishes where to find his sister again . He passed away before he ever did . About 4 years ago I was able to go and visit his home town in Temastian Jalisco where he was born . I happed to find my long lost aunt she was Visiting another of my aunts. She is 80 years old now. She lives in Cuautlancingo , Puebla . She married and had 6 children . I would like to go and visit this August .I would like to spend 7 to 10 days there. But before that I would like to spend at least two or 3 nights in downtown Puebla . On our own ,Explore a little before I meet the whole family.My question is when I arrive to Puebla how do I get to the hotel by taxi or bus or Uber From the airport to the hotel .and also which hotels are the ones you recommend . I don’t need anything too expensive. But nice with good food . Thank you Olivia Salazar
Hey there, good question regarding a recommendation for how to get to the hotel--taxi, uber, etc. I also need to know since I will be going this summer. Thanks Olivia for asking.
We are going there and Atlixco, and Chalula in January 2023. We are considering living in one of those surrounding communities. Can you add any other towns around Puebla that are Candidates for older expats? We are in good health physically and internally.
There are a number of "magical towns" near Puebla - check out ATLIXCO and CHOLULA. Another interesting fact is the town of Chipilo has a large Italian population, definitely worth a visit.
Guerita soy de Puebla y todos los poblanos somos muy orgullosos de nuestro estado, en las 365 churchs are in cholula, not in Puebla city, en the biggest piramide is the yellow church on tap in cholula Pue.
cholula is a must ...nooo it's not creepy, it's one thing to see in puebla it's culture - i love the mexican culture. also you can try chalupines around ^^
There are a number of excellent restaurants that we tried - El Comal (order the Cemita Cubana made with Oaxacan cheese), Entre Tierras (they make the table side caesar salad, delicious artistic tlayudas and you dine next to a historic baroque chapel), El Mural de los Poblanos (the Platillo de 3 Moles and mole rosa are excellent, and rock soup cooked with volcanic rocks).
I'm a little concerned about the areas we're not suppose to be in, like the dangerous areas where you might mugged and stuff like that. On your trip there did any local say anything about staying away from certain areas? I always like to research the good and the bad specially for places we don't know. Many videos just talk about all the good things but I believe knowing the bad things is just as important to a tourist.
Nope it was a pretty chill city overall, not a lot of crime and homelessness like in the USA. Of course be vigilant wherever you go and leave valuables at home.
lol, you do nnot have to dress conservative here, yes it is a very religious state but also very modern, reality is Puebla is one of the states where you will find the original version of the imitations of other states, Puebla and Mexico the capital together with Veracruz are those states that started the whole creations of food that now we get to enjoy, we also need to keep in mind they had French, Italian and Asian fushion foods here as well, over all come to Puebla, seguro te quedas.
I think maybe the answer above about the volcano might be part of it. I’m from the US and been bouncing around Mexico for 3 months now. Personally, the places that have a lot of expats, I didn’t like them, because of the expats. I went to a little town (San Jose del Pacifico) up in the mountains. I spent 4 days there. Major tourist area for a town of 700. Honestly? The people that I assumed were Americans, embarrassed me. I left and came to Puebla. I’ve only been here for 2 days, but I feel I finally hit the jackpot. Yes, there’s a few tourist. But luckily it’s not over run by them.
LOVE the fact it is not a loud BOOZER location with drinking partying expats running around ! Thank you I may want to live there... 🙏
Can't wait to visit! Everything is not for everyone. I'm sure many lessons learned from the history. How cool to remain with dignity and pride! ❤️

The food in Puebla is incredible. A 20 to 30 dollar dish far exceeds a 150 dollar meal in a restaurant in the US.

I'd like to know as well. Interested in this Cricket dish, wonder if can get it cold.
How were you able to commute through out your trip? Uber, taxi or did you rent a car? Interested in going this year!

Why there isn't many Expats in Puebla. I wonder why.
Me too

Word goes around in the tunnel supposedly some guy turned in a body for money to the devil
