For several years, there are places that are sinking, such as the Basilica of Guadalupe and some buildings in the historic center. All this is a reflection of urban growth on a swampy landfill. The earth does not support the weight of the constructions and many buildings, churches, monuments and even the streets show unevenness and cracks. Seismic activity in the region also damages buildings. If you think that the buildings in Mexico City are &#8220;crooked&#8221;, it is not an optical illusion.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_message][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Day 5: Cholula and Puebla&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;day_5_cholula_and_puebla&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We bought an excursion with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/tours\/Mexico-City\/Puebla-and-Cholula-Full-Day-Tour-from-Mexico-City\/d628-5885P128\">Viator<\/a>, to visit <strong>Cholula<\/strong> and <strong>Puebla<\/strong>, two colonial cities, about 150 km from <strong>Mexico City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The driver and guide were excellent, but I felt like we spent more time on the road than sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;226626,226629,226631,226633,226635&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>It gave us a glimpse, but if I had to do it again, I would sleep at least one night in Puebla, because there is a lot to discover in this city.<\/p>\n<p>Cholula has the largest pyramid in the world and <strong>Puebla<\/strong> is the most religious city in Mexico with several churches, in addition to being a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;226637,226639,226641,226643&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Day 6: Xochimilco and Coyoac\u00e1n&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;day_6_xochimilco_and_coyoac_n&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We went for a ride in a trajinera, the famous boat that sails on the canals of <strong>Xochimilco in <\/strong>Mexico City.<\/p>\n<p>During the trip, canoes come to offer drinks, food and music (mariachis).<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;226645,226647,226649,226651&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Coyoac\u00e1n<\/strong>, we took a quick tour of the historic center, as it was starting to rain and we thought about the impact the rain might have on <strong>Mexico<\/strong> City traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The day&#8217;s travel was done with Uber.
