Estrella de Puebla: Soar Above the City of Angels Guide
Get ready for breathtaking panoramic views of Puebla from the Estrella de Puebla, one of the tallest Ferris wheels in Latin America! This iconic landmark offers an unforgettable experience, allowing you to see the "City of Angels" from a whole new perspective. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or simply looking for a romantic evening, the Estrella de Puebla promises a memorable ride. The Estrella de Puebla was inaugurated in 2013 as part of a larger urban development project aimed at revitalizing the Angelópolis area of Puebla. Since then, it has become a symbol of the city, attracting both locals and tourists alike. Its strategic location near the Museo Internacional del Barroco and other attractions makes it a convenient and popular destination for visitors exploring Puebla. A ride on the Estrella de Puebla is the main attraction, of course! Choose from open or enclosed gondolas, depending on your preference. The ride lasts approximately 15-20 minutes, giving you ample time to soak in the stunning views of Puebla's historic center, the surrounding mountains, and the modern skyline. At night, the Ferris wheel is illuminated with vibrant colors, creating a magical spectacle. While the Estrella de Puebla itself doesn't have a specific culinary tradition, the Angelópolis area is known for its modern restaurants and cafes, offering a wide range of culinary delights, from traditional Mexican dishes to international cuisine. Don't miss the opportunity to try some local specialties like mole poblano or chiles en nogada after your ride.
