I am an entrepreneur living in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico with my boyfriend Andrés. We both studied Industrial Design and I currently run a handcrafted jewelry company called Echando Flores www.echanfoflores.com
I love to be a tourist in my own place, so I can show you all my favorite places. 💕 I live with my boyfriend and I am not on couchsurfing to flirt.

We do prefer to host women or a couple. I can show you the city around. I can host you after I consider it whit my boyfriend. I am usually bussy on weekdays and get home late at night, but I will try to make some space to, at least, give you tips and advice.

There is so much to do in this beautiful city and also you must visit Cholula, a little town 40 minutes from downtown. Here are some of my recomendations to do in Puebla, you cannot do much in one day. I think two days at least you have to consider.

The places you have to visit
-Zócalo
-El Parián
-El barrio del artista
-El callejón de los Sapos
-El mercado de sabores
-Los Fuertes de loreto y guadalupe

You have to eat:
-Chalupas at El Parian
-Mole poblano
-Cemitas at El Carmen
-Tacos placeros
-Molotes
-Churros
-Chanclas
-Tacos árabes and al pastor.
-Elotes and esquites. Tostiesquites if you feeling risky.
-Chilaquiles -Flautas -Torta de tamal
-Sushi (just keeding)
I also know good veggie places and meals 🌱☺️

And drink:
-Mezcal
-Pulque
-Chocolate Oaxaca
-Manzanita Zacatlán

Puebla is a Colonial city with a lot of history, there are many museums in the city but I think these are the best:
-Museo Amparo ($40 (totally worth it)free on sunday and monday)
-Muse Internacional del Barroco ($50)
-Museo José Luis Bello y Zetina (free)
-Capilla de arte de la UDLA (free)
-Museo del tecnológico de Monterrey (free)
-Galería de arte del Palacio Municipal (free sometimes)
-Museo del ferrocarril -Museo de las artesanías (free)
-Museo regional de Puebla ($40)

Coffe shops and restaurants we like:

If you want to visit parks and walking or outdoor activity:
-Parque Metropolitano (My favorite one)
-Parque de Los fuertes de Loreto y Guadalupe (giant and beautiful with a view)
-Parque del niño poblano
-Parque Ecológico

I also know very good ramen places, hamburgers, tacos, you name it, I love food haha.

If you are in party mood Puebla is not your best option. Cholula is where all the bars, clubs and pubs are:
-Licorería San pedrito (mexican pulque, all the flavors you can imagine)
-Jazzatlan (Live jazz music club)
-Xolo (tacos and coctaiks) 👌🏼
-Container city (clubs, bars, etc)
-Cus cus (nice restaurant and coctails)
-Ocho30 (super cool and delicious restaurant)
-La berenjena (pizza)
-Karma bagels
-Mostovoi (European bread)

This is a good guide from town where I get most of my recommendations: https://guiaoca.mx/

If you want to visit small towns nearby:
-Cholula (20 min)
-Castillo de Chautla (40 min)
-Atlixco de las Flores (40 min)
-Cuetzalan (2 hrs)
-Zacatlán Puebla (2 hrs)

If your are planning a long trip all over México (you should) these are little towns all across the country you can visit. Some hidden places not so touristy yet you'll love for sure: www.pueblosmexico.com.mx/

Also if you here you can buy tickets to go through south México at the cheapest price (one day in avance center to south Mexico): https://www.ado.com.mx/ado2/#/
There are also shared ride programs like Blablacar.

And if you are planning to be in México more than a month you should better get a SIM card so you don't have to struggle finding internet.

If you will be our guest, and you are thinking about bringing a present as a symbol of gratitude, you should know that I like collecting maps of cities of the world as amulet to visit the cities and have some knowledge before going through them. I would appreciate if you brought me one. So, have fun, use sunscreen, comfy shoes and and umbrella just in case.

I think everyone should read the book "Los Cuatro Acuerdos" by Miguel Ruiz, everyone would be happier.
