The view of the 3 mountains are excellent this morning. At one tool booth, it was 122 for our van. It's a 2+ hour drive.
Our first stop is breakfast by the highway bridge over Goldfinches Gorge just before the town proper of Zacatlán. While the two families taking their breakfast, I walked down to these nice houses perched below the road. There's a short drive to these house, and a small trail to some old delapidated houses behind.
Zacatlán is another Magic town in Puebla. Once we got into the town, our guide first took us to the proper mirador for the gorge on its northern shore. There's a short glass walkway, which you can go only one way. 
Not sure where there's a plane here. Facing the lookout promanade is the municiple cemetary, enclosed inside walls that are covered with mosaic murals. So many. Very nice.
Back to the town center, passing numerous stores selling wines and sauces. They offer us tasting. But our guide firmed lead us away. She talked about this Franciscan monastery (founded in 1567, oldest church in the state of Puebla).
Then, she lead us to a gift shop right by the plaza to taste these wines and moles. The wines are all too sweet. Sauces too spicy for me. One guy bought a pack of flavored beer. Our guide pointed a few point of interest and we set meeting spot and time.
Zacatlan is known for apples, but I didn't see any apples for sale. The famous floral clock attracts most photographers. It has similar flower designs on two faces back to back, driven by the same timing mechanism.
The plaza and neighboring streets are quite lively. Plenty benches and restanrants. There's another large church, Parroquia San Pedro, in the same block, also very old. The town is compact, easy to walk around.
Our 2nd stop is the waterfall Tuliman,
not far from the town, but on a pretty lousy road. It turns out there are two entrances to the waterfall, controlled by two different "parks". Where we went has a large building, maybe a hotel, picnic tables by the creek. A paved trail with many steps goes down to a lookout for the waterfall. Only at the very bottom of the trail, you could see the waterfall. It's very pretty, in a narrow gorge, not enough place to walk around to take a better photo. I saw people on the other side, seems more open, so I walked up looking for a way to get there, only was told that belongs to a different park.
Last stop, the town of Chignahuapan, another Pueblo Mágico. At about 8000' elevation, it's chilly. Today, misty too, so felt rather cold. Our guide first took us to Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. The interior is quite pretty. I like the glass band all around instead of the large cedar virgin Mary.
The main plaza showcases a very colorful wooden kiosk. Our guide talked about it for awhile, which I soon forgot completely.
A family was celebrating a girl's quinceañera at Parroquia de Santiago Apóstol, with a band in traditional dress playing music at its colorful facade. The poor girl in a golden dress looked very cold.
I went to visit Casa Axolote. Not a large room. 50 pesos. Young attendants enthusiastically explain everything you want to know about Axolotl, a kind of salamnder with funny external gills. These strange and endangered emphibians sit in various water tanks with artificial light.
Different ages and colors. Facinating.
It was too cold. We were happy to hop on the van and leave. Back in Pueblo around 7:30pm.
