Cholula is the oldest city in North America and has been inhabited by people since it’s inception. San Gabriel, one of the oldest Franciscan convents in the Western hemisphere, is located in Cholula, as well as Sanctuary of Nuestra Senora de Los Remedios, which was constructed in the 1500s and placed over the Great Pyramid. This pyramid can also be explored, including a maze of tunnels that go underneath or the paths on the outside.

Some of the popular activities in Cholula include exploring the Cosme del Razo Market and the Container District, where brightly colored cargo transport containers have been recycled into offices, bars, shops, art galleries, restaurants, and more. This urban concept was invented in Cholula by graphic design artist Gabriel Esper Caram and is now used all over the world.
