The biggest draw for tourists to Cholula, apart from the nightlife, is the world's largest pyramid by volume and the world's largest monument, with a historic church at the top. Be aware that it doesn't look like much of a pyramid, but more like a hill, because most of it is covered with dirt and vegetation. Only parts of the foot of the pyramid have been excavated, showing the ancient stone structures. You can also take some very good photos from the top, of the volcano Popo and the town of Cholula. The little museum nearby is interesting and too often overlooked.
The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl, is a complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid (temple) in the world, as well as the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today.
