Where to Stay in Puebla, La Purificadora
by Craig Zabransky on May 4, 2015 in Mexico Travel, Where to Stay?
Puebla was always on my list as a place to visit in Mexico, but the charming colonial city always seemed to elude me until recently. And already since my first visit, I’ve returned.

The more I discover through travel in Mexico, the more comfortable I am recommending the road trip and exploring Mexico on your own.

The Yucatan is more than Cancun and the Riviera Maya. In fact these Mexican tourist destinations are not even located in the state of Yucatan itself (but on the Yucatan Peninsula).

Cortez came and he conquered. The Spanish conquistadors also arrived carrying the Christian or Catholic Cross to “Mexico” and the state of Veracruz is where they first came ashore.
