Just outside of Puebla is the city of Cholula, where we went for our second day in Mexico. For the first time, we were going to see some pyramids! But before we could see any of those, we first headed to the zócalo (the main plaza) for a bit of history. Apparently, Cholula has been inhabited since 500 B.C., which makes it the oldest living city in North America. It also happens to have the world’s largest pyramid in base area. But that’s not all. There is also a legend claiming that the city has 365 churches, one for every day …
Cholula and the Pyramids
Food guide of Puebla
From Mexico City to Sayulita, the best Mexican food I had was in Puebla. Why? Because Puebla is awesome! I don’t know what it is with this town, but it’s actually a great place if you love architecture and food. (I happen to love both!) We tasted a lot of different dishes, things that we wouldn’t find anywhere else. And by anywhere else, I mean that most of it is only found in Puebla. I’m sad that I can’t even find a cemita in Sayulita. That thing was just so delicious! Let me now introduce you to this new world …
Exploring Puebla, Mexico
Aaah, Puebla! We arrived after a two hours bus ride from the airport. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to explore the city before the next morning, since we arrived late. But once the sun was up, it was time to fall in love with that charming city south of Mexico City. Even if it has more than 2 million habitans, it didn’t feel overwhelming in any way. I actually felt… at home. The thing with Puebla is that it’s a colonial city that reminded me in every aspect of Quebec City, my real home. In the downtown area, all the buildings …
Rafting in the Pacuare River
After three months in Costa Rica, leaving is not easy. Puerto Viejo has been our home for the past months and we got used to it. We developed a routine that allowed us to have fun and work at the same time. But now, it’s time to get back on the road and start a new adventure! Being digital nomads, leaving people and places behind is something we are going to have to get used to. But we couldn’t leave Puerto Viejo without doing some white river rafting. Exploradores Outdoors offers this great trip. The cool thing about it is …
Monteverde and the cloud forest
After Arenal, we were going to Monteverde. There’s two ways to get there: by car, or by boat. Going around the lake takes waaay longer, we booked the boat trip. We were on the lake for half an hour and it was just so quiet and peaceful. The only thing Chris was thinking about is: where could I put a cabin here? On the other side of the lake, we still had a good two hours of car. It was the hardest two hours in my life. The roads were in dirt and kept going up and down. We kept …
