Traveler There is basically no pyramid to be seen at the "Cholula Pyramid." It's mostly underground.
Traveler The hill IS the pyramid... Tlachihualtepetl (Nahuatl for "made-by-hand mountain", a.k.a. the Great Pyramid of Cholula), said to be the largest one (by volume) in the whole world.
Traveler The woman with the blue backpack is a fellow student named Madison. She is from Colorado.
