Pasaje Histórico 5 de Mayo

Very unique experience and a must. Google maps will help lead you there. If it’s near lunch time, you are better off eating at any of the street food vendors you pass on your way to here because afterwards there won’t be any along the tunnels or afterwards until you get to the los Fuertes area for subpar eateries. It’s 31 cash. Not busy at all so no feeling of claustrophobia. Interesting history and also in English.

A great experience in the city. Going underground and learning how those tunnels were used back in the day is a total must.

I went on a Thursday morning and was the only visitor inside. Entry was only 30 pesos. The tunnels are beautifully illuminated, clean, and well maintained. You'll read about the history of the tunnels along the way in both Spanish and English. There are artifacts displayed inside that help to tell the story. This is an excellent experience! I highly recommend it. You don't need a guide. This location is the only entrance (Pasaje Histórico 5 de Mayo - on Google). After the first portion, you will exit once, cross a cute little street (a guard will be there to point the way) and reenter on the other side. Then, the final exit is inside Los Fuertes Parque. Give yourself time to explore the park and the museums inside. Wonderful experience!

One of the best sites in Puebla and perhaps still a hidden gem. If you want to visit Loreto fort and the surrounding park you can take this underground passage! The walk takes about 45 minutes at a slow pace. Along the way you can see objects found in the tunnels and there are signs in English explaining facts about the history of the site. The fee is 35 pesos and it is worth every penny!

Amazing unique experience to know when and how the tunnels where used. It's one tunnel with 2 exits, the 1st exit is about a 10min walk and the other about 15 more minutes. Could be more if you stop to read all the info. It's well lit.

It’s really quite interesting to visit these caves! There’s not any English explanations and even the Spanish ones were vague, but the amount of meters you can walk below ground here is really cool. Also with the illumination, you really get a feel for how these caves were used. We didn’t pay anything to enter, but couldn’t walk back through the caves (just one way).

First we went and visited el puente de Bubas, with the same ticket you can visit this tunnel, We was very impressed, at the door they offered us a guide visit and they didn't set a cost for this service, they ask us just for a voluntary donation, we accept it and it was the best choice, they explain a lot of thing from the tunnel. Bring comfortable footwear and a light jacket.

This was amazing. An entire under ground system tall enough for people to ride their horses. A hidden gem that was just opened to the public in 2016. It takes you through Puebla to Loreto Fort. The fort is where the Mexicans gained independence in the battle of Cinco De Mayo. You can walk through the trenches after exiting the underground tunnels system. After visiting the museum I suggest walking down some of the streets. They have amazing murals scattered throughout the streets!

Cool underground historic tunnel. The guided tour is recommended, you just have to give them a tip after the tour.

The tunnels go up to Parque Lago de La Concordia next to the Olympic stadium - about 400m in total length. There is a break half way where you exit one tunnel at the street level and enter the next segment. Doesn't take long to walk through the tunnels if there are nobody ahead blocking - and I only met 3 other visitors when I was there on a Tuedsay at 11am; free entry at that time.

26.23 pesos (for adults) and 10.50 pesos (for students / children) entry which also includes access to Puente de Bubas. Nice experience to walk through the tunnels. The first one is wide and high with plenty of illumination. The second two were longer, and more cramped but there was an emergency exit midway if you feel claustrophobic and need to exit. Final exit is into an pretty park near Los Fuertes.

After exiting from the first part of the tunnel, there is a much longer second part of the tunnel and the entrance is on the other side of the street. The second part of the tunnel leads you all the way to the park/fort.

We were so amazed with the tunnels. I could have believed this existed under such an amazing City. This is another must do when you are in Puebla.

(16.06.2022) Very interesting historical sightseeing, definitely recommended, perfect price (28 MXN).

An awesome stop! It's a long tunnel that lets you off near the teleferico also a great view and lovely places to take photos. The tunnel is clean, well lite and easy to walk. (Unfortunately we went during the holiday so the teleferico was closed)

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.

Lots of detailed info panels describing the history of these tunnels.

Secret underground tunnels in Puebla

Probably the best thing to do in Puebla! The entrance is 100m east of the McDonald's north of centro. These tunnels are part of the city's 500 year-old water system and were accessed by the Mexican Army to outflank and defeat invading French forces in 1862 (Cinco de Mayo). We spent 45 minutes walking around the various tunnel sections. Many reviews say it is too short because they are confusing these tunnels with Puente de Bubas. When you finish you are in the Fuertes Park and can walk around and/or check out the murals in the Xanenetla neighbourhood. Don't miss this! (30 pesos; I believe free on Mondays)

This is a awesome place to visit it has so much history and so much atmosphere. It has very cool lighting and lots of old pictures of the era when the tunnels were being used during the war. I do highly recommend visiting this attraction in Puebla.
