Huaquechula is a town located in the Huaquechula Municipality within the state of Puebla in central Mexico. The settlement has a history dating back as far as 1110 CE, though its center has moved to its current location twice since its founding.
Historically an agricultural community, the town currently produces crops such as peanuts, corn, and sorghum, while also producing various handcrafts. It is notably recognized for its traditions surrounding the Feast of the Cross and its "cabo del año" altars constructed during the Day of the Dead. These specific altars, which are dedicated to family members who passed away during the previous year, have been declared a cultural heritage of the state of Puebla and serve as a significant draw for tourists from the region.
