The trip is priced at $1,790 pp and includes all meals, activities, guided services and accommodations. Clients traveling alone can share a cabin with another traveler or pay extra to have their own private tent.
at home on the moon Jut a few minutes away from Puebla is Cholula, a city that at first glance is a vision of churches and enchantment but that also keeps thousands of years of history in its fold. In fact, this is the Americas’ oldest continually inhabited city and the home of La Quinta Luna, a member of Mexico Boutique Hotels, a gorgeous mansion of just seven rooms dating back to the 17th century and classified as a historic monument by Mexico’s National Institute of History and Anthropology. Picture wooden beams hundreds of years old, thick walls made of adobe and a to-die-for library with thousands of tomes. Even the restaurant is a marvel, designed within the original site of the home’s chapel.
There are two packages for different types of adventurers at La Quinta Luna (“the fifth moon”). By booking the 3-night Archaeological Package, clients can enjoy daily breakfast a la carte, a 3-course dinner for two with a bottle of wine and guided tours of the ruins in the sites of Cantona, Cacaxtla and Xochitecatl. Rates for two for this package start at $679 for a standard room and run up to $899 for the presidential suite.
Should their interests run toward more recent events, they can opt for the Franciscan Route Package and enjoy the same amenities but visit, instead of the archaeological sites, some of the Franciscan convents in the area, including those of San Francisco, San Gabriel and Calpan. This package starts at $565 for two people for three nights.
Don’t forget to stop by Mexico Boutique Hotels’ website from time to time to find out about agent rates for different properties—and remember, MBH now has a “100% Commission Guarantee” so agents can feel safer about booking any of their small hotels.
