Very interesting place to visit, especially if you’re a big fan of Cinco de Mayo - these are the tunnels where outnumbered Mexican heroes evaded French troops on this fateful day in 1862 turning the tide of the Battle of Puebla in their favor.
The Mexicans, under the brilliant leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza, defeated the French invaders. Although that did not mark the definite end of hostilities of French forces in Mexico, this battle of Puebla proved that gallantry in war can be a more powerful weapon than superior firepower and a larger army.

This was an attraction I was not expecting! What a great surprise. Before I visited, I read about the tunnels. They are believed to be used as passage ways between monasteries or drainage system. They are also rumored to be used for Mexican soldiers who fought against French troops back in 1862.

The tunnels are dark with lighting in various colors that lead you through. Most of the passageway is flat with a few small inclines and declines. You will find various artifacts that were found as you make your way through. There are two tunnels. Once you exit the first tunnel there will be a security guard who will direct you across the street to enter the second tunnel. When you exit the second tunnel, you will be in a park that will provide a lovely view of the historic part of the city.
