How many days

One day, from Puebla or Cholula.

When to go

All year round, due to the mild climate. In September there is the Huey Atlixcáyotl; in November and December, the fields of cempasúchil and bico-de-papagaio flowers, and the Christmas lights in the city.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Not to the center. For the nurseries on the highway, taxi or car.
