After I had visited the Cathedral of Puebla, I was told by one of my brothers that I should not miss the Church of Tonantzintla, as this church is unique for all the indigenous features and richness in a baroque style decoration.
The word "Tonantzintla" comes from Náhuatl, the Aztec's language. It means "The Place of Our Lady" or "The Place of Our Mother".
Here you will see some of the features of the Church of Santa María Tonantzintla. Unfortunately, it was forbidden to take photos inside the church, so you have to see the outdoors features. Please see here the indoor features.
There is no other highlight in this town aside of this church and the astrophysics observatory.
Interesting decoration of a car

Going to San Pedro Cholula and visiting another church. This church is in San Francisco Acatepec, the most important town where the Ceramic of Talavera is produced in all the American Continent.
You can appreciate that all the front facade of the temple is made of Ceramic of Talavera
Stopped for lunch at "El Portón". Lovely place and delicious food at cheap price
Another church in the town. We could not enter, it was closed.
