​History of Puebla
The region was inhabited by the Toltecs, Chichimecs, and Xicalanc Olmecs; by the X century Nahua
tribes had arrived and up until the XV century the Mexicas dominated almost the entire area of what is
known today as the State of Puebla. The Spanish conquest had a far-reaching impact on the region,
with the founding of Puebla de los Ángeles, one of the best examples of baroque architecture
anywhere and one of Mexico’’s true architectural and cultural gems. The Spaniards also had a significant
influence on local handicrafts, creating the famous Talavera pottery. Finally, Spanish influence left its
mark on the local cuisine whose fusion of indigenous and Spanish influences created one of the richest
and most varied culinary traditions in Mexico.
The State of Puebla is full of things to do and places to visit like Yohualichan and Cholula, towns that
boast world-class archeological sites and a great variety of churches, in addition to pristine wilderness
for camping, outdoor sports, spas, and recreation centers.
