Surrounded by volcanoes and snow-capped mountains, Puebla is the capital and largest city in the Mexican State of Puebla. Halfway between the port of Veracruz and Mexico City, Puebla was an important colonial establishment and was also home to Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a revolutionary poet and playwright. The largely industrial city is home to the Mexican headquarters and main manufacturing site of Volkswagen. Puebla’s cuisine is known worldwide and is most recognized for its unforgettable mole, a spicy sauce made from chocolate, nuts, and peppers. Popular sites in Puebla include La Capilla del Rosario, a chapel inlaid with gold, El Barrio del Artista (The Artist's Neighborhood), the African Safari Zoo, and the Zócalo where you’ll find the Cathedral and Municipal Palace. Double-decker buses give visitors an opportunity to enjoy the city's architecture, museums and monuments.
