Huauchinango, Puebla

Centro Histórico de Puebla 1 día

About this tour

Huauchinango is the capital of the Sierra Norte de Puebla and one of the greenest municipalities in Mexico. Nestled at more than 1,800 meters above sea level, its cool climate, cloud forests, and waterfalls have made it the setting for the Feria del Xóchitl, considered the largest flower festival in the country. But its riches extend beyond nature.

Archaeologist Noé Campos will take us to the Temple of the Assumption, one of the most striking colonial churches in the Sierra Norte of Puebla, whose Baroque façade contrasts with the surrounding mountainous landscape. Afterward, we’ll visit the Tenango Dam, whose emerald waters and panoramic views of the mountains are one of the region’s best-kept secrets.

A breakfast along the way and a meal in Huauchinango are part of a tour designed to help you discover a side of Mexico rarely featured in travel guides. Early departure from Mexico City and return before nightfall.

About the guide

Hist. Nelly Ramírez Delgado

Historian

As a historian, my main interests include architecture and the city. I view architecture as an artistic and social expression that safeguards collective memory, transforming every facade and space into a story that deserves to be told and preserved.

For me, reading is the essential bridge for constructing narratives, organizing my thoughts, and demystifying characters or places that have been forgotten.

At the same time, I really enjoy food and travel. I don’t see travel as simply getting from one place to another, but rather as an opportunity to unearth urban memories and experience a place mindfully, exploring the transformation of towns, neighborhoods, and districts at street level.

Driven by a constant enthusiasm for learning and supported by my academic training, I have specialized in teaching, academic research, and the promotion of urban historical heritage.

My professional experience includes providing institutional research support for international projects at Bates College and Brandeis University, as well as curatorial, cataloging, and documentation work at the Franz Mayer Museum and research institutes at UNAM. I am also active as a cultural promoter through my collaboration and strategic partnerships with venues and projects such as the Kaluz Museum, Open House CDMX, the City of Puebla, and Canal Once.
